A Reliability Generalization Meta-Analysis of the Science Motivation Questionnaire II
Science motivation is among the most important constructs affecting students’ science learning and scientific thinking skills. One commonly utilized scale to measure students’ science motivation is the Science Motivation Questionnaire II (SMQ-II), a 25-item, Likert-type, self-report scale. This study aimed to conduct a reliability generalization meta-analysis of the scale considering the Reliability Generalization Meta Analysis (REGEMA) guideline…
A Randomized Trial of Embedded Instruction Training and Coaching for Preschool Teachers
The increasing number of children with disabilities served in inclusive preschool classrooms has heightened the need for instructional approaches that support learning during naturally occurring classroom activities and routines. Embedded instruction (EI) is a naturalistic teaching approach that allows teachers to provide systematic learning opportunities for children with disabilities within everyday classroom contexts. This study examined the e…
Microfoundations of open innovation in schools
Open innovation (OI) offers new strategies for educational innovation and change. Whereas collective knowledge creation and external knowledge inputs are essential to OI, schools must embrace knowledge sourcing and exchange. Especially leadership and social interactions are key to OI. A microfoundational perspective on OI posits that micro-level organisational actions and interactions mediate macro-level associations. On this behalf, individuals’…
ICT knowledge absorptive capacity
This study examines whether and how a school's information and communication technology (ICT) knowledge absorptive capacity (ACAP) affects technology integration in schools. In addition, it investigates the influence of various contextual factors on the degree of contingency of ACAP, such as activation triggers, social integration mechanisms and regimes of appropriability. The study is based on a random sample of N = 411 schools representative of…
Not invented here, not shared here
Teacher innovativeness and pedagogical knowledge are crucial for sustainable development and implementation of innovation initiatives in schools. Although schools often lack resources and capabilities to innovate, external knowledge sources can essentially enrich their innovation processes. How external knowledge is valued, acquired and used depends on individual attitudes, organisational absorptive capacities and knowledge management. Therefore,…
Leading digital innovation in schools
Schools’ digitalization requires a shift of stakeholders’ mindsets, specific forms of leadership, and strategic knowledge management to deal with current and future educational challenges. The relationship between school leaders’ open innovation mindset, transformational leadership, knowledge management practices, and the effects on digital innovation are presented. A random sample of German school leaders is analyzed through confirmatory factor …
Investigating the situational impact of academic language demands on university students’ boredom with an instructional video
Current trends in educational research focus on understanding situational processes and the dynamics of achievement emotions. In this context, the features of the learning environment and their situational impact on achievement emotions play a significant role. In this study, we consider academic language demands as a feature of the learning environment and examine how they affect boredom in a learning situation based on an instructional video. A…
How school leadership and innovation shape instructional pathways to student achievement across nations
Educational leadership, innovation and teaching play essential roles in shaping student achievement. However, extant literature primarily has relied on linear modelling approaches and has not focused on substantively testing a theory. The present study employs multilevel structural equation modelling (ML-SEM) and multilevel decision trees (MLM trees) to investigate associations between school leadership, team innovation, cognitive activation and …
Automated scoring in the era of artificial intelligence
Automated scoring (AS) has gained significant attention as a tool to enhance the efficiency and reliability of assessment processes. Yet, its application in under-represented languages, such as Turkish, remains limited. This study addresses this gap by empirically evaluating AS for Turkish using a zero-shot approach with a rubric powered by OpenAI's GPT-4o. A dataset of 590 essays written by learners of Turkish as a second language was scored by …
The explanatory power of Carnegie Classification in predicting engagement indicators
The study aims to explore the effect of the type of higher education institution on students’ engagement. The meta-analyses of multilevel regression coefficients revealed significant relationships between the type of higher education institution and student engagement indicators across the years from 2013 to 2019. Comparing different types of higher education institutions with the base category, our findings revealed significant differences in ef…
Lowering Risk for Significant Behavior Problems Through Cognitive-Behavioral Intervention
The Psychological Science Accelerator
Concerns about the veracity of psychological research have been growing. Many findings in psychological science are based on studies with insufficient statistical power and nonrepresentative samples, or may otherwise be limited to specific, ungeneralizable settings or populations. Crowdsourced research, a type of large-scale collaboration in which one or more research projects are conducted across multiple lab sites, offers a pragmatic solution t…

The Effects of Including Observed Means or Latent Means as Covariates in Multilevel Models for Cluster Randomized Trials
We investigated methods of including covariates in two-level models for cluster randomized trials to increase power to detect the treatment effect. We compared multilevel models that included either an observed cluster mean or a latent cluster mean as a covariate, as well as the effect of including Level 1 deviation scores in the model. A Monte Carlo simulation study was performed manipulating effect sizes, cluster sizes, number of clusters, intr…
Investigation and comparison of Turkish and American preschool teacher candidates’ attitudes towards inclusion of young children with disabilities
Inclusion of young children with disabilities into general education classrooms is a common practice that has been implemented for many years in developed countries around the world and many developing countries have been creating and implementing laws and regulations to support inclusive education in early years. Although extant literature includes a commonly agreed definition for inclusion, the implementation of inclusive practices varies acros…
The Consequences of Ignoring Variability in Measurement Occasions Within Data Collection Waves in Latent Growth Models
In longitudinal data collection, it is common that each wave of collection spans several months. However, researchers using latent growth models commonly ignore variability in data collection occasions within a wave. In this study, we investigated the consequences of ignoring within-wave variability in measurement occasions using a Monte Carlo simulation and an empirical study. The results of the simulation study showed that ignoring heterogeneit…
