Background: Professionalism is an exit learning outcome of health professions’ curricula. Much work has focused on professionalism teaching and little on the ways assessing it. The main goal was to develop composite assessment instrument as a battery accurately measured several aspects of learning professionalism in medical residents. Methods: The first step in battery development was to decide on the domains to be addressed. Based on the comprehensive review of the literature, a list of domains to assess was developed and identified specific assessment instruments for each domain. Based on the instrument selection criteria, forty one Assessment instruments were selected and developed to comprise the assessment battery. Results: The results are presented in 6 Section tests: duration, cost of each section, administration instruction, and scoring. The time required to complete the entire assessment battery was 100 minutes on average. Conclusions: The resulting battery was developed by selecting a set of validated assessment instruments and combining them into a battery. The assessment battery is easy to administer, easy for residents to complete, and provides a comprehensive assessment of a residents’ learning professionalism for teachers.

Coping Scale

Successful resilience is a variable often related toan optimal aging process. However, literature is rather limited when dealingwith assessment instruments for the elderly in the Spanish language. Theobjective of this work is to validate the Brief Resilient Coping Scale(Sinclair & Wallston, 2004), a four item likert scale, in the Spanishelderly. For this propose, the scale wasadministrated to a sample of 991 elderly Spanish participants, and the data setanalysed in terms of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, internalconsistency and criterion validity. The scale demonstrated good psychometricproperties. Furthermore, the homogeneityindices were higher than the recently literature, reinforcing the dimensionalstructure of the scale. These resultshave shown higher reliability from previous Spanish versions. Therefore, theBrief Resilient Coping Scale is a valuable assessment instrument that could bevery useful in the assessing of resilience in the Spanish-speaking elderly.

Practical performance assessment is an important part of the learning process, but several obstacles are found in its implementation. The objectives of this study are (1) to develop constructivism-based performance assessment instruments for class VII Yunior High School in Life Organization subject, (2) to describe aspects that need to be made in constructivism-based practical performance assessment instruments, and (3) to describe teacher responses in using constructivism-based practical performance assessment instruments. This research is a development research using a 4D model, the stages are defining, design, development and distribution. The trial subjects in this study consisted of 10 students for small group trials and 40 students for large group trials. The indicators used in the study include aspects related to the development of constructivist life-based practicum assessment instruments. Instrument used was a questionnaire to reveal the response of teachers and students to practical performance assessment instruments. The results of the data analysis showed that the content feasibility value is 86.31% at the intervals of 48.33 which means it is feasible to use. Most students gave a positive response to the assessment sheet given (96.67%), a small portion gave a negative response (33.3%). Because the average positive response of students is more than 75%, the performance assessment instrument is considered feasible to be applied.

Measurement Properties

Abstract Background This paper describes the development and psychometric evaluation of a behavioral assessment instrument primarily intended for use with workgroups in any type of organization. The instrument was developed based on the Nurturing Environments framework which describes four domains important for health, well-being, and productivity; minimizing toxic social interactions, teaching and reinforcing prosocial behaviors, limiting opportunities for problem behaviors, and promoting psychological flexibility. The instrument is freely available to use and adapt under a CC-BY license and intended as a tool that is easy for any group to use and interpret to identify key behaviors to improve their psychosocial work environment. Methods Questionnaire data of perceived frequency of behaviors relevant to nurturance were collected from nine different organizations in Sweden. Data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis, Rasch analysis, and correlations to investigate relationships with relevant workplace measures. Results The results indicate that the 23-item instrument is usefully divided in two factors, which can be described as risk and protective factors. Toxic social behaviors make up the risk factor, while the protective factor includes prosocial behavior, behaviors that limit problems, and psychological flexibility. Rasch analysis showed that the response categories work as intended for all items, item fit is satisfactory, and there was no significant differential item functioning across age or gender. Targeting indicates that measurement precision is skewed towards lower levels of both factors, while item thresholds are distributed over the range of participant abilities, particularly for the protective factor. A Rasch score table is available for ordinal to interval data transformation. Conclusions This initial analysis shows promising results, while more data is needed to investigate group-level measurement properties and validation against concrete longitudinal outcomes. We provide recommendations for how to work in practice with a group based on their assessment data, and how to optimize the measurement precision further. By using a two-dimensional assessment with ratings of both frequency and perceived importance of behaviors the instrument can help facilitate a participatory group development process. The Group Nurturance Inventory is freely available to use and adapt for both commercial and non-commercial use and could help promote transparent assessment practices in organizational and group development.

The current research aims to know (the effect of Bayer's strategy on developing divergent thinking among second-grade intermediate students in the subject of Arab-Islamic history) . In order to achieve the goal of the research, the researcher puts the following null hypothesis : 1.There is no statistically significant difference at the level of significance (0.05) between the mean scores of the experimental group students who study according to the Bayer strategy and the average scores of the control group students who study in the traditional way in the dimensional divergent thinking test . The researcher chose an experimental design with two groups, one experimental and the other a control, and the two research groups (experimental - control) were rewarded with the following variables : (Chronological age in months, grades of the previous year, IQ test, pre-branched thinking test ) . The current research was limited to second-grade intermediate students in (Al-Furat Intermediate School for Boys), which is one of the schools affiliated to the city of Baghdad / Directorate of Education Al-Karkh First. (32) students, and the second represented the control group who were studying the same subject in the traditional way, and they numbered (31) students. Thus, the number of the research sample reached (63) students. 2017-2018 . The researcher prepared the divergent thinking test in light of the steps and main questions of the Sheikhly test (2001) in measuring the ability of divergent thinking of the students of the research sample . : The search results showed .The experimental group students who study history according to the Bayer strategy outperformed the control group students who study history using the traditional method in the dimensional branched thinking test .
