objective: the self-compassion scale (scs) which originally developed by neff (2003a) is based on the assumption that the self-compassion comprised by self-kindness/self-judgment, common humanity/perceived isolation, and mindfulness/over-identification. this research was aimed to confirm the six-factor structure of scs. methods: 265 university students entered the research to assess the psychom...

conclusions although ceiling effects should be considered for rehabilitation targets, the two-factor model of fim (motor and cognitive independence) has an eligible fitness for iranian patients with tbi. results the results of this study showed that the floor effect was not observed; however, ceiling effects were observed for the fim total score and its subscales. the confirmatory factor analys...

Posterior Predictive Model Checking (PPMC) is frequently used for model fit evaluation in Bayesian Confirmatory Factor Analysis (BCFA). In standard PPMC procedures, misfit quantified by comparing the location of an ML-based point estimate to predictive distribution a statistic. When far from center posterior distribution, poor. Not included this approach, however, variability Maximum Likelihood...

The Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework – a framework which proposes a set of knowledge domains that are essential for effective teaching with technology – has gained considerable attention in the domain of education and technology. With the efforts to conceptualize these knowledge domains comes the question to what extent they can be distinguished empirically. H...

This paper investigates factors affecting the perceived readiness for online collaborative learning (OCL) of a sample of 86 mathematics teachers from 12 secondary schools. Descriptive analysis, factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and structure equation modeling were used to analyze the data. A moderately fit model was generated and able to inform that time constraint and insufficient ...
