There are notions and research findings in the literature that imply students’ low task value in peer assessment. However, there is not any specific instrument developed to derive reliable and valid results. In addition, multidimensional structure of task value was not indicated adequately in prior scale development studies. The aim of this research was to provide a scale measuring college students’ task value in peer assessment. On the basis of task value components proposed by expectancy-value theory, 18 items were generated. In addition, three validation items about intention to participate in peer assessment were added to the data collection instrument. The instrument was administered to 178 college students. Exploratory factor analysis revealed that the scale consisted of three dimensions (utility value, intrinsic value, and attainment value) explaining 61.88% of total variance, in parallel with task value structure of expectancy-value theory. Concerning reliability, each dimension was found to have Cronbach’s Alpha coefficients over .80, which showed adequate level of internal consistency. Moreover, high and positive correlations between three dimensions and validation items were obtained. On the whole, the study presents a promising tool to measure value in peer assessment with three dimensions.

A Model for Doctoral Students' Perceptions and Attitudes Toward Written Feedback for Academic Writing Can, Gülfidan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2011-08-01) The purpose of this study is to investigate social science doctoral students' perceptions and attitudes toward written feedback about their academic writing and towards those who provide it. The study culminates in an explanatory model to describe the relationships between students' perceptions and attitudes, their revision decisions, and other relevant factors in their written feedback practices. The investigation used a mixed methods approach involving 276 participants from two large mountain west public ...
Development and Psychometric Evaluation of the High School Chemistry Self-Efficacy Scale Çapa Aydın, Yeşim (SAGE Publications, 2009-10-01) The aim of this study was to develop a scale assessing high school students' self-efficacy beliefs in chemistry-related tasks and to assess psychometric properties of scores on this scale. A pilot study with a sample of 150 high school students provided initial evidence for two-factor structure of 16-item scale, named High School Chemistry Self-Efficacy Scale (HCSS). The final form of the HCSS was administered to 362 high school students in Turkey. Confirmatory factor analysis fit indices and factor pattern...
Development and validation of nature of science instrument for elementary school students HACIEMİNOĞLU, ESME; Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül; ERTEPINAR, HAMİDE (2014-05-01) The purposes of this study were to develop and validate an instrument for assessing elementary students’ nature of science (NOS) views and to explain the elementary school students’ NOS views, in terms of varying grade levels and gender. The sample included 782 students enrolled in sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. Exploratory factor analysis factor structures and confirmatory factor analysis fit indices confirmed the existence of the hypothesised four dimensions in the structure of the nature of science i...
Identifying factors that affect students' acceptance of web-based assessment tools within the context of higher education Alkış, Nurcan; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi; Department of Information Systems (2010) The main aim of this thesis study is to identify the factors that affect higher education students’ perceptions of computerized assessment for learning. This study additionally aims to help effective use of computers in assessment activities by guiding the teachers or educational organization by interpreting the factors that affect students’ attitudes toward computer use in examinations. Quantitative research design has been used in this study. When choosing the participants, nonprobability sampling strateg...
Analysis of pre-service science teachers’ systems thinking skills in the context of carbon cycle Turan, Deniz; Öztekin, Ceren; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2019) The main purpose of this study is to analyze pre-service science teachers’ systems thinking skills in the context of carbon cycle. The eight systems thinking skills that is previously defined by Ben-Zvi Assaraf and Orion (2005) were used to investigate the participants’ systems thinking skills concerning the carbon cycle. Data was collected from four senior-year pre-service science teachers from elementary science education department of a state university. The data obtained through word association test, c...
