Psychometric Properties of WISC-IV Verbal Scales: A Study of Students in China Who Are Blind

Introduction: Numerous studies have investigated the use of Wechsler tests on individuals with visual impairments. However, few studies have examined the utilization of the fourth edition of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-IV) for such individuals. This study investigated the reliability and validity of the WISC-IV Verbal Scales’ (i.e., the Verbal Comprehension Index [VCI] and the Working Memory Index [WMI]) scores for children with blindness in China. Methods: One hundred children with blindness were assessed using the Chinese version of the WISC-IV Verbal and Nonverbal Cognitive Development Scales. Results: The results of this study generally support the internal consistency reliability and validity of WISC-IV Verbal Scale scores for Chinese children who are blind. The split-half reliability coefficients ranged from .79 to .97, while Cronbach’s alpha or KR-20 (KR-20 is a measure of internal consistency reliability for measures with dichotomous choices) reliability coefficients ranged from .83 to .97. In terms of construct validity through exploratory factor analysis, the subtests of the WISC-IV Verbal Scale were confirmed to belong to VCI or the WMI as intended by the original structure of the WISC-IV. The convergent validity showed that the VCI and WMI scores were moderately and positively correlated with the Nonverbal Cognitive Development Scale. Discussion: The WISC-IV VCI and WMI were found to be valuable instruments for assessing the cognitive abilities of students in China with blindness. Finally, the limitations and significance of the study were also discussed. Implications for practitioners: The WISC-IV Verbal Scales may be used to assess the cognitive abilities of the numerous students in China who are blind and may be used as one of many tests to provide reference information for educational placement, educational planning, employment, and project evaluation.

Evaluation of Consecutive Guided Training to Improve Interrater Agreement in Identifying Elements of Situation Awareness in Objective Structured Clinical Examination Assessments.

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Introduction: Little is known about the medical student's cognitive ability in diagnostic and therapeutic accuracy. Literature does not suggest a methodology to quantify students' cognitive processing. Situation Awareness (SA) is described as having the proficiency to obtain awareness of the surrounding and to integrate this consciousness into the situational context and potential forthcoming development. OSCEs might be a suitable instrument to evaluate students' awareness of the situation. Methods: Consecutive guided training was provided to obtain a consistent comprehension of the model of SA. 4 independent researchers consecutively examined 6 randomised OSCE forms in a qualitative and quantitative method. Final interrater agreement was expressed as Cohens kappa. Generalisability theory determined the impact of the main facets on the variation in disagreement. Results: Evaluation of identifying and categorising elements of SA within OSCE forms demonstrated a moderate to very good interrater agreement. The G-Theory revealed key facets for variance: OSCE forms, Levels of SA, Items embedded in the Levels, Interaction between Forms and Levels and Forms and Items embedded within Levels. Conclusion: Consecutive guided training improved the identification of elements of SA within OSCE assessments. Further research is necessary to improve the assessment of SA in undergraduate medical curricula.

Psycho-Pedagogical Approaches to the Design of English Learning Course for Ship Engineers

Abstract–Ship engineers are civil engineers with special knowledge of marine and water transport engineering therefore the article appeals to the lecturers of English for engineering students. The authors of this article share the experience of experimental English language training which was preceded by a thorough study of the theoretical works of contemporary scholars and practitioners in the field of foreign language training of civil and marine engineers. Summarizing new trends led to defining a complex of approaches which makes the design of the course efficient. The results of the experimental training allowed to formulate practical recommendations how to realize new trends and approaches in the textbooks’ design, taking into account qualitative changes both in the field of educational technologies and in the cognitive abilities of students. We proved that the complex of offered approaches provide better education and reflect the changes in psychology, philosophy, and pedagogy along with new technological platforms. We offer additional discussions concerning creating a modular course of English for ship engineers which could be internationally accepted by institutions that train specialists for the marine industry. The marine industry is globalized therefore, uniform standards for the training of seafarers are important and the idea to have the module course of English for ship engineers would be enthusiastically welcomed by all countries.

Are motivational benefits of adequately challenging schoolwork related to students' need for cognition, cognitive ability, or both?

One important predictor of students' intrinsic motivation and schoolwork engagement is the balance between schoolwork difficulty and student skill level, such that students are adequately challenged. However, the question arises whether this is equally true for all students or whether there are students for whom having adequately challenging schoolwork is even more important than for others. In this study, we investigated whether students' cognitive ability and their need for cognition (i.e., their tendency to actively seek, engage in and enjoy effortful cognitive activity) affects students' motivational responses to adequately challenging schoolwork. Building on data from a large-scale survey among 3002 Flemish 7th graders, we found that adequately challenging schoolwork had a more favorable effect on intrinsic motivation and schoolwork engagement for students high in need for cognition than for students low in need for cognition. Student cognitive ability did not moderate the association between adequate challenge and motivational outcomes. The findings are discussed in light of school engagement and intellectual investment theory.
