The metacognitive awareness of reading strategy among pre-service primary teachers and the possibility of rating improvement using Rasch analysis
This study investigated pre-service primary teachers' reading strategies using the Metacognitive Awareness of Reading Strategy Inventory (MARSI) in the Indonesian version. The participants were 4377 pre-service primary teachers in Indonesia. The data were collected via an online form, and the invitations were sent out randomly. The participants were divided into two studies: 2912 participants were in study 1, which used a 5-point Likert scale, an…
Effects of multimedia on psychometric characteristics of cognitive tests
The study aims to investigate the effects of delivery modalities on psychometric characteristics and student performance on cognitive tests. A first study assessed the inductive reasoning ability of 715 students under the supervision of teachers. A second study examined 731 students’ performance on the application of the control-of-variables strategy in basic physics but without teacher supervision due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Rasch measurement …
Exploring students’ science motivation across grade levels and the role of inductive reasoning in science motivation
Assessing and validating young Kazakhstanis’ reading skills in English, the impact of classroom climate, and their engagement on reading skills
Improving reading skills in English for young Kazakhstani learners is a challenging process, but it was unfortunate that teachers in Kazakhstan do not frequently apply and implement assessments in the context of a school or classroom. Following a pilot study conducted in 2018, a continuous assessment was considered necessary to highlight the errors and challenges related to such unfortunate condition. This study performed validation and assessmen…
Reading Strategies and Reading Achievement in Middle School
This study explores the reading strategies (RSs) of bilingual and monolingual young learners in their first and second languages (L1 and L2, respectively)—either Kazakh or Russian as the L1 and L2—and English as a foreign language (L3). It also examines the influence of RSs on the learners’ performance on reading comprehension tests in the three languages. The test results showed significant differences in L1, L2, and L3.The results for reading a…
Development of scientific reasoning test measuring control of variables strategy in physics for high school students
Control of variables strategy (CVS) is a core scientific reasoning skill related to domain-general experimentation for evaluating an experimental system and deducing valid conclusions. This study aims to develop, validate, and explore latent factors predicting item difficulty in the test, measuring CVS in physics for high school students. The original test contains 24 items related to mechanics, thermodynamics, and electricity. It measures three …
Cognitive and Affective Components of Verbal Self-Concepts and Internal/External Frame of Reference Within the Multidimensional Verbal Domain
Most researchers have studied students’ academic self-concept within native language and mathematics, indicating the multidimensional nature of academic self-concept. However, there is a shortage of studies that examined the twofold multidimensional structure of verbal self-concept within the internal/external frame of reference (I/E) model of two foreign languages. This study aims to examine affective and cognitive components of English and Russ…
Motivation and self-related beliefs as predictors of academic achievement in reading and mathematics
This study examines the predictive power of motivational and self-related beliefs on reading and mathematics achievement. A representative sample (N = 2049 12–14-year-olds) was drawn for a large-scale longitudinal programme, with data collected at two measurement points separated by a two-year interval. In the research, two hypothesised models on the mediating role of self-related beliefs and motivational factors have been developed and tested. R…
The relationships between 8th graders’ L1 and L2 reading skills, inductive reasoning and socio-economic status in early English and German as a foreign language programs
The relationship between reading skills in early English as a foreign language and Hungarian as a first language
In recent years, similarly to other educational contexts in the European Union and other parts of the world, early foreign language programs have become widely spread in Hungary. This article looks into the relationship between Hungarian learners’ reading skills in English as a foreign language (L2) and in their first language (L1) Hungarian. We analyze data from two quantitative cross-sectional studies to explore how they interact. In the first …
Social Class and Adolescents' Beliefs about Justice in Different Social Orders
We report on the justice beliefs of 4508 adolescents from 4 security societies in transition to market economies (i.e., Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Russia) and from 2 opportunity societies (Australia and the United States). Using a multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), justice beliefs were examined as a function of type of society, social class, and gender. In the security societies, working‐class teens wanted the state and s…
Postcommunist Societies in Times of Transition
This article examines adolescents' perceptions of the economic changes and the justice of the new “social contract” in Eastern/Central Europe. Focusing on three countries, Hungary, Bulgaria, and the Czech Republic, it explores the social, political, and economic environments in which adolescents came of age in 1990. Surveys conducted among high school students in each country during 1995 tapped their perceptions of the economy, the local communit…
Ties that Bind
The relationship of voluntary work, school climates, and family values to public interest as a life goal of adolescents is presented for a sample of 5,579 12–18 year olds in three stable and four transitional democracies. In five of the seven countries, females were more likely than males to be engaged in voluntary work, and in all seven countries girls were more likely than boys to report that their families encouraged an ethic of social respons…
