Abstract

This paper proposes a longitudinal assessment approach for the
assessment of non-cognitive constructs. Focusing on how to evaluate “state”
versus “trait” properties of propensities, a comparative narrative is provided
attesting to the utility of employing a longitudinal perspective. Illustrations
on how to collect, analyze and interpret time-series data are provided using
three separate studies, conducted as a part of a larger longitudinal study,
referred to as the Emotion Ruler Field Study, investigating emotional aspects
of learning for college students. The first study illustrates how inferences
made about stress and tenseness levels of college students may differ when
based on self-assessments taken over twelve days versus on those taken only
once. The second and the third studies illustrate how inferences made about
sleep quality and psychological resilience of college students may evolve when
the variances observed over several weeks (within-persons) are taken into
account in the analysis of individual differences (between-persons).

BİLİŞSEL OLMAYAN ÖĞRENME DURUM VE SÜREÇLERİNİ ÖLÇME VE DEĞERLENDİRMEDE BOYLAMSAL YAKLAŞIMLAR: DUYGU CETVELİ UYGULAMASI ÖRNEĞİ

Abstract

Ölçme desenlerinin boylamsal olarak tasarlanmalarının eğitim
araştırmalarına getireceği katkılar, öğrenmenin sosyal-duygusal boyutlarının
üniversite öğrencileri için çalışıldığı bir alan uygulaması olan Duygu Cetveli
Uygulaması ile yapılan üç ayrı araştırmanın ölçme desenleri üzerinden
örneklendirilmiştir. İlk çalışmada stres ve gerginlik duyguları arasındaki
ilişkiler günlük tekrarlı gözlemler üzerinden karşılaştırılırken, ikinci ve
üçüncü çalışmalarda duygu durumları ile uyku kalitesi ve psikolojik dayanıklılık
arasındaki ilişkiler haftalık tekrarlı gözlemler kullanılarak modellenmiştir.
Ölçme desenlerinin, ölçmeye konu özelliğin süreçsel yapısını daha iyi
yansıtmasına izin verebilecek tekrarlı ölçümleri de içerecek şekilde
genişletilerek tasarlanmalarının önemi ve bunun, özellikle de, dinamik faktör
yapısına sahip özellikleri ölçme ve değerlendirme çalışmalarına getireceği
katkılar tartışılmıştır.
