The Schoolwork Engagement Inventory: Factorial Structure, Measurement Invariance by Gender and Educational Level, and Convergent Validity in Secondar…

2017

This study analyzes the dimensionality, reliability, metric invariance, and convergent validity of the Schoolwork Engagement Inventory (SEI) in secondary education. Participants in the study were 679 students in compulsory and post-compulsory secondary education in a large city in Eastern Spain during the 2014-2015 academic year. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) showed that the one-factor model of the SEI is superior to the other alternative models considered, providing an overall schoolwork engagement score in this educational stage. Reliability was also adequate and the instrument was found to be invariant by gender and educational level. Latent mean comparisons revealed a significant …

Análisis de la relación entre la autoeficacia interpersonal del profesorado y sus niveles de burnout

2017

Introducción. Este trabajo se centra en la evaluación y en el análisis de la capacidad predictiva de la autoeficacia interpersonal del profesorado sobre sus niveles de burnout. Se destaca la utilidad del estudio, dada la ausencia en nuestro contexto de instrumentos de evaluación sobre este constructo psicoeducativo, así como el notable impacto de la percepción de nivel de apoyo social y del mantenimiento de relaciones satisfactorias y de ayuda en el trabajo sobre el estrés docente.Método. En el estudio participan 103 profesores de distintos niveles del sistema educativo es-pañol (55 mujeres, 48 hombres, rango de edad: 24-56), a los que se aplicó una adaptación del Teacher Interpersonal Self…

Rasch Analysis of the Japanese Version of Teacher Efficacy for Inclusive Practices Scale: Scale Unidimensionality

2020

This study aimed to examine the construct validity of the Japanese version of the Teacher Efficacy for Inclusive Practices (TEIP) scale. The sample consisted of 250 teachers in Japan. Rasch analysis was used to examine the psychometric properties of the scale. Results did not support the 18-item Japanese version of the TEIP scale as a unidimensional scale for measuring TEIP. However, they do support the final 14-item Japanese version of the TEIP scale as a unidimensional scale for measuring TEIP. Four items were removed from the original 18-item scale (items 12, 8, 5, and 3) for violation of the local independency assumption. No item with differential item functioning (DIF) was detected. On…

A validation of the early childhood classroom observation measure in Finnish and Estonian kindergarten

2012

Research Findings: The aim of the study was to examine the applicability and psychometric properties of the Early Childhood Classroom Observation Measure (ECCOM; D. J. Stipek & P. Byler, 2005) outside the United States. The ECCOM was used to observe 83 kindergarten teachers (49 in Finland and 34 in Estonia) in classroom situations. Self-ratings were obtained of teachers’ teaching practices, curriculum goals, efficacy beliefs, instructional activities, work experience, and group size. The analyses indicated 1-factor solutions for each of the ECCOM dimensions (i.e., Child-Centered, Teacher-Directed, and Child-Dominated) and high reliabilities for all dimensions, subscales (i.e., Management, C…

Threats to validity when using open-ended items in international achievement studies : Coding responses to the PISA 2012 problem-solving test in Finl…

2015

Open-ended (OE) items are widely used to gather data on student performance in international achievement studies. However, several factors may threaten validity when using such items. This study examined Finnish coders’ opinions about threats to validity when coding responses to OE items in the PISA 2012 problem-solving test. A total of 6 discussions during 6 coder practice sessions (on 6 OE items) and an interview between 5 coders were audiorecorded and analyzed by means of content analysis, and 3 main threats to validity were found: (1) unclear and complex questions; (2) arbitrary and illogical coding rubrics; and (3) unclear and ambiguous responses. Suggestions are given as to how to res…

Resumen basado en el de la publicación Título, resumen y palabras clave también en español e inglés Disponible la versión en español La supervisión clínica en medicina es una modalidad de enseñanza en el servicio que persigue como fin la práctica independiente de la profesión médica. En la supervisión clínica el profesor asume una función de modelador del desempeño de los estudiantes en un contexto de práctica profesional real. El objetivo es reportar el proceso de investigación que permitió desarrollar un cuestionario de evaluación formativa de la supervisión clínica con base en la opinión de los estudiantes. El método consistió en tres estudios empíricos: (1) un proceso de exploración del…

Discriminant validity was originally presented as a set of empirical criteria that can be assessed from multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) matrices. Because datasets used by applied researchers rarely lend themselves to MTMM analysis, the need to assess discriminant validity in empirical research has led to the introduction of numerous techniques, some of which have been introduced in an ad hoc manner and without rigorous methodological support. We review various definitions of and techniques for assessing discriminant validity and provide a generalized definition of discriminant validity based on the correlation between two measures after measurement error has been considered. We then review t…

The Formation of the Italian Administrative Justice System, European Common Principles of Administrative Law and “Jurisdictionalization” of Administr…

2021

The present study deals with the formation of the Italian administrative justice system, the European common principles of administrative law and the ‘jurisdictionalisation’ of administrative justice in the 19th century, providing reasons that explain why the administrative justice system achieved a citizen protection superior to that of the civil law tradition.

¿Hay algo que los planes puedan hacer por la teoría del derecho?

2017

What can plans In his book, Legality (2011), Scott Shapiro puts forward what he claims to be "a new, and hopefully better" (better, namely, than the ones given so far) answer to "the overarching question of ‘What is law?’ - The central claim of this new account - the "Planning Thesis" - is that "legal activity is a form of social planning" -. "Legal institutions plan for the communities over which they claim authority, both by telling members what they may or may not do, and by identifying those who are entitled to affect what others may or may not do. Following this claim, legal rules are themselves generalized plans, or planlike norms, issued by those who are authorized to plan for others…

Farewell to the Rule of Recognition?

2011

Resumen:En este articulo se argumenta que la regla de reconocimiento, tal comofuera concebida por Hart, es o bien un concepto redundante —y en consecuenciainutil— o un concepto limitado en su poder explicativo. Encualquier caso, se trata de un concepto cuyo alcance es, frente a los sistemasjuridicos contemporaneos, mucho mas estrecho de lo que Hartpudo imaginar. De igual modo se argumenta que la regla de reconocimiento,en alguna de sus posibles (y plausibles) reformulaciones, puedetener a pesar de todo un papel significativo y no redundante, pero solamentesi se emplea en un sentido radicalmente distinto al que propusoHart o que se propone en buena parte de la literatura positivista posthart…
