Visual attention while solving the test of understanding graphs in kinematics: an eye-tracking analysis
2019
This study used eye-tracking to capture students' visual attention while taking a test of understanding graphs in kinematics (TUG-K). A total of N = 115 upper-secondary-level students from Germany and Switzerland took the 26-item multiple-choice instrument after learning about kinematics graphs in the regular classroom. Besides choosing the correct alternative among research-based distractors, the students were required to judge their response confidence for each question. The items were presented sequentially on a computer screen equipped with a remote eye tracker, resulting in a set of approx. 3000 paired responses (accuracy and confidence) and about 40 h of eye-movement data (approx. 500…
Validación española del Work Design Questionnaire
2015
The purpose of this study is to validate the Spanish version of the Work Design Questionnaire (WDQ; Morgeson & Humphrey, 2006). Employees from three Colombian samples completed the questionnaire (N = 831). Confirmatory factor analyses revealed a 21-factor structure (χ²/df ratio = 2.40, SRMR = .06, RMSEA = .04, CFI = .90) with adequate levels of convergent and discriminant validity. Additional support for construct validity was found from significant differences among different occupational groups (professional and nonprofessional, health-focused, commercial, and manufacturing workers). Furthermore, knowledge, social, and work context characteristics showed incremental validity over task cha…
Logical Intelligence Enhancement Test: a measure for the evaluation of logical skills in primary school
2019
Il presente lavoro si inserisce in uno studio pilota condotto nell’anno scolastico 2018-2019per valutare l’efficacia del Logical Intelligence Enhancement Programme (LIEP, Calvani, Peru,& Zanaboni, 2019), un programma composto da tavole di logica verbale e numerica volte asviluppare il ragionamento logico e le capacità metacognitive di studenti di quinta primaria.All’interno di questo studio è stato sviluppato il Logical Intelligence Enhancement test perstimare gli effetti del training sulle abilità logico-verbali. Il contributo presenta la costru-zione del test, le sue caratteristiche psicometriche e la validazione. A tal fine, lo strumentoè stato somministrato a un campione di 173 stud…
Psychometric analysis of the Test of Dependence of Videogames (TDV) in Peruvian population
2017
Resumen El objetivo del presente trabajo es validar en población peruana, el Test de Dependencia de Videojuegos (TDV) (Chóliz & Marco, 2011). Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que se trata de una herramienta confiable y válida. Se encontró una sola estructura factorial, en lugar de cuatro dimensiones, como plantearon los autores del TDV. Este factor podría denominarse genéricamente: adicción a videojuegos, y podría servir como evidencia de la existencia de este trastorno, que coincidiría con el denominado ‘Trastorno de Juego por Internet’, que aparece en la Sección III del DSM-5. Los resultados hallados se discuten en relación a lo planteado por Chóliz y Marco (2011), en lo que se refiere…
The Work Design Questionnaire: Spanish version and validation
2015
The purpose of this study is to validate the Spanish version of the Work Design Questionnaire (WDQ; Morgeson & Humphrey, 2006). Employees from three Colombian samples completed the questionnaire (N = 831). Confirmatory factor analyses revealed a 21-factor structure ( 2 /df ratio = 2.40, SRMR = .06, RMSEA = .04, CFI = .90) with adequate levels of convergent and discriminant validity. Additional support for construct validity was found from significant differences among different occupational groups (professional and nonprofessional, health-focused, commercial, and manufacturing workers). Furthermore, knowledge, social, and work context characteristics showed incremental validity over tas…
