“…We correlated each item in the C-FV-19S with the total score to evaluate internal consistency. Items were removed from the analysis if the item-total correlation (CITC) was ≤0.40 [ 34 ]. A Cronbach’s alpha greater than 0.80 signified good internal consistency [ 35 ].…”

Background: fear of COVID-19 is widespread among the population, especially among college students because of their increased exposure to the media information overload of the COVID-19 outbreak. The Fear of COVID-19 scale (FCV-19 S) is a relatively short instrument used to evaluate fears surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the validity and reliability of the Fear of COVID-19 Scale have not been fully investigated in Chinese university student groups. Objectives: this study assessed the cross-cultural adaptability and reliability of the FCV-19S for Chinese university students. Methods: a Chinese version of Fear of COVID-19 Scale (C-FCV-19S) was generated using the translation-backward translation method. Psychometric properties of the C-FCV-19S, including internal consistency, split-half reliability, construct reliability, convergent validity, and diagnostic accuracy, were evaluated. The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire (GAD-7) scales were also used to evaluate participants for depression and anxiety. Results: the C-FCV-19S has acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha: 0.872) and satisfactory split-half reliability (correlation coefficient: 0.799). Using the exploratory factor analysis (EFA), we examined the construct reliability (KMO = 0.920). The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) confirmed that the bifactor model of scale (including general factor, factor1: the awareness of COVID-19 and physiological arousal, factor 2: fear-related thinking) had a good fit index (χ2/df =6.18, RMSEA= 0.067, SRMR = 0.028, GFI = 0.986, TLI = 0.970 and CFI= 0.988). Using depression-positive and anxiety-positive scores as reference criteria, we found that the areas under the curve were 0.70 and 0.68, respectively, and that the optimal cutoff scores of the C-FCV-19S was 17.5 (sensitivity: 66.3% and 58.7%, respectively). Conclusions: the validity and reliability of C-FCV-19S are satisfactory, and the optimal cutoff point was 17.5. The C-FCV-19S can be applied adopted in Chinese university students.

“…So moral values are universal truths that are considered good and important by humans (Esteban, 1990). Values are standards of conduct and attitudes that determine who we are, how we live, and how we treat others (Pa & Tapsir, 2013). The emphasis on values on the elements of action and mindset was also put forward by Şahinkayasi & Kelleci (2013).…”

This study aims to determine the basic concepts and values of mathematics contained in traditional Bengkulu musical instruments in elementary schools. The urgency of this research is to use regional culture in learning mathematics theoretically and practically as a medium and source of learning mathematics through learning outside the classroom to achieve the objectives of learning mathematics in elementary schools. This research method is a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach. Data sources are in the form of traditional Bengkulu musical instruments, namely dhol, tassa, long drums, and serunai. Other data sources are documents and interviews with experts and practitioners of Bengkulu traditional musical instruments. The data were analyzed qualitatively with the method of content analysis. The result of this study shows that the basic mathematical concepts in Bengkulu traditional musical instruments are points, lines, angles, triangles, quadrilaterals, kites, circles, tubes, half balls, cut balls, cut cones, universes, and patterns. At the same time, the mathematical values contained in traditional Bengkulu musical instruments are obeying the rules, consistency, creativity, and cooperation. Therefore, as an alternative to effective learning in elementary schools, Bengkulu traditional musical instruments can be used as a medium and source of learning mathematics outside the classroom.

“…Desarrollo de un instrumento para evaluar autoconfianza en estudiantes de farmacéutica Fuente: Adaptado de Wongwiwatthananukit et al (2002) Si bien es perceptible una visión rigurosa en lo metodológico, también se observa una independencia del diseño del instrumento mismo de la comprensión del posterior diseño didáctico. En el campo de la matemática Pa & Tapsir (2013), señalan que es necesario pensar en "construir un instrumento holístico validado con propiedades psicométricas establecidas el cual sea una herramienta efectiva para evaluar los valores que expresan tanto profesores como estudiantes del área" (p. 453). Es decir, el instrumento mismo se aparta de las posibilidades didácticas que se pueden desarrollar al interior de la disciplina y de procesos de investigación.…”

“…En general, se establece que los estudios que muestran el diseño de instrumentos se ocupan de un sólo aspecto relacionado con el aprendizaje como autoconanza (Wongwiwatthananukit et al, 2002), valores asociados a lo disciplinar (Pa & Tapsir, 2013), habilidades de pensamiento (Ngang, Nair & Prachak, 2014) y habilidades sociales (Tapia-Gutiérrez & Cubo-Delgado, 2015), para mencionar algunos temas. Parece ser una constante en este tipo de investigación sobre los instrumentos asociados a procesos curriculares y didácticos, que el n especíco es desarrollar el instrumento para medir algo, obtener validez y conabilidad u obtener escalas de medición.…”

Con el ánimo de contribuir al desarrollo de las didácticas de campos disciplinares de la educación, este artículo propone instrumentos para validar ambientes didácticos de aprendizaje (ADA) en el contexto de formación de profesores de lenguaje y comunicación (LyC) en y para la diversidad. En el marco de una arquitectura para validar ADA, se sugieren instrumentos para validar diseños didácticos construidos desde la teoría del diseño así como la inteligibilidad mutua, rectora de las comunidades de práctica que forman profesores de LyC. El resultado, es una batería de instrumentos cualitativos y cuantitativos que tienen como función valorar el ADA en dos momentos: como diseño planeado y como diseño en acción.
