Exploring the assessment of Adjustment Disorders: Differences between a general and a clinical sample
2019
Adjustment Disorders (AjD) are one of the most prevalent psychological problems in primary and hospital care. It is necessary to have evidence-based instruments to help professionals diagnose and better understand this problem, which has been little studied. This study presents an adaptation of the Inventory of Complicated Grief for the assessment of AjD symptoms, referred to as the Inventory of Stress and Loss (ISL), and explores the differences in the response to stressful situations between general and clinical Spanish populations. Methods: The general sample included 208 participants, and the clinical sample 91 patients with AjD. Results: Results showed that the ISL has high internal co…
International Assessment Surveys of Educational Achievement in Developing Countries : Why Education Economists Should Care
2015
International audience; This paper reviews the most known international assessment studies that are conducted in the context of poor countries and highlights the lack of empirical evidence on the degree to which the contents of the tests really match countries' curricula. To illustrate, the paper evaluates the sensitivity of an international testing instrument by comparing the responses of students in two consecutive grades on the same battery of tests. Using propensity score matching to control for student and teacher characteristics, the results show that the tests are not grade sensitive, which raises the question of the validity of many empirical works that are based on similar instrume…
Gratitude Questionnaire–20 Items (G20): A Cross-Cultural, Psychometric and Crowdsourcing Analysis
2020
The use in psychology of crowdsourcing platforms as a method of data collection has been increasing in popularity because of its relative ease and versatility. Our goal is to adapt the Gratitude Questionnaire–20 Items (G20) to the English language by using data collected through a crowdsourcing platform. The G20 is a comprehensive instrument that takes in consideration the different basic processes of gratitude and assesses the construct’s cognitive, evaluative, emotional, and behavioral processes. We test the psychometric properties of the English version of the G20 with a Prolific (ProA) user sample. We assess the adequacy of the G20 for the crowdsourcing population in its English version…
Students’ Perceptions of Instructional Rubrics in Neurological Physical Therapy and Their Effects on Students’ Engagement and Course Satisfaction
2021
One of the main challenges faced by physical therapy (PT) students is to learn the practical skills involved in neurological physical therapy (PT). To help them to acquire these skills, a set of rubrics were designed for formative purposes. This paper presents the process followed in the creation of these rubrics and their application in the classroom, noting that students perceived them as valid, reliable, and highly useful for learning. The perception of the validity and usefulness of the rubrics has different closely related dimensions, showing homogeneous values across the students´ sociodemographic and educational variables, with the exception of dedication to studying, which showed a …
Adaptación al Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior de un cuestionario de opinión del alumnado sobre la docencia de su profesorado
2014
El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar el proceso de adaptación al Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior del cuestionario de opinión del alumnado sobre la docencia de su profesorado que se ha seguido en la Universidad del País Vasco. En este proceso se ha adoptado una metodología mixta. Tras efectuar la revisión de los cuestionarios de otras universidades, teniendo en cuenta el marco teórico del nuevo cuestionario, las competencias transversales adoptadas por la Universidad y las tres dimensiones que señala la ANECA, se redactaron una serie de indicadores y posibles ítems susceptibles de conformar el nuevo cuestionario. Este marco teórico, los indicadores e ítems fueron contrastados en di…
A systematic review of functional numeracy measures for 9–12 -year-olds: Validity and reliability evidence
2023
This systematic review aimed to summarize the characteristics and the measurement properties of functional numeracy measures developed for use by teachers among 9–12-year-old children with or without mathematical learning difficulties. A systematic search from five databases was conducted based on pre-defined criteria. PRISMA guidelines were followed for reporting the results. The terminology and classification of measurement properties adopted by the COSMIN taxonomy was used. Twenty-one studies of 18 measures met the inclusion criteria. Most of the identified measures did not report on several measurement properties due to incomplete or missing psychometric data. Knowledge of Mathematical …

Relationship between family educational styles and social value of education: reflections of a study
2018
The goal of this study is to analyze the relationship between the social value that the families give to education of their sons and daughters, and the family educational styles. For this, we apply 4103 questionnaires of evaluation of Family Educational Styles (EEF) of Bisquert (2017). We used 5 context variables of the same questionnaire because of their conceptual relationship with the evaluation dimensions of Subjective Social Value of Education (VSESubjective) of Jornet, Perales and Sánchez Delgado (2011). The association was estimated by crosstab procedure, and Pearson’s chi-square coefficient. The results reveal the significant association in two of the four dimensions of VSESubjectiv…
La valutazione e l’autovalutazione delle scuole italiane
2016
La comprensione del significato sociale della valutazione di tutte le scuole italiane, avviata con l’a. s. 2014-15 lungo un percorso triennale articolato in quattro fasi, migliora se si considerano le premesse e i preparativi dei venti anni precedenti. Sono scandite le tappe di avvicinamento alla prima valutazione sistematica della scuola italiana che, con tutti i suoi limiti, costituisce un’autentica inversione di rotta rispetto al livellamento verso il basso delle prestazioni, una deformazione del principio dell’uguaglianza, cui si tendeva per una serie di meccanismi economici, sindacali e partitici, che la governance istituzionale non riesce ancora a contrastare efficacemente. Sono indic…
