Abstract

Mathematical learning disabilities (MLD) involve persistent and heterogeneous difficulties in acquiring age-appropriate mathematical skills, requiring assessment through both cognitive and classroom-based indicators. This study examined whether WISC-V profiles differentiate elementary students with MLD from typically developing peers and support an integrated classification model. A case-control design involved 120 students aged 8–12 years, comprising 60 students formally identified with MLD and 60 age-matched controls. Participants completed the WISC-V Chinese Edition and a Mathematical Achievement Test, while teachers completed the Teacher Questionnaire on Mathematical Performance. Data were analyzed using t tests, effect sizes, correlations, discriminant analysis, and ROC analysis. Students with MLD scored significantly lower on all WISC-V primary indices, particularly Working Memory (d = 2.10) and Processing Speed (d = 1.60). Quantitative Reasoning showed the strongest ancillary-index separation (d = 3.03). Arithmetic, Digit Span, and Figure Weights were the most discriminating subtests. MAT deficits were greatest in word problems (d = 3.29) and mental computation (d = 3.03). QRI correlated most strongly with MAT total score (r = .84, p < .001), and the combined model achieved 89.2% accuracy and AUC = .986. QRI, WMI, Arithmetic, Digit Span, word problems, and mental computation are promising screening indicators for MLD, pending external validation.

Abstract

The study aimed to describe the early reading difficulties experienced by second-grade students at SD N Karangtengah I Giricahyo, Purwosari, Gunungkidul, identify the contributing factors, and formulate solutions to address them. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method using observation, reading tests, interviews with teachers and students, and documentation. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model, which included data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicated that early reading difficulties were characterized by slow letter recognition, errors in distinguishing similar letters, and weak phoneme-letter association skills, which affected reading fluency and text comprehension. The Egra test revealed that 37.50% of students were in the low category, while only 12.50% were in the very good category. The contributing factors included low motivation and interest in reading, lack of parental support, and technical barriers such as spelling difficulties and letter differentiation. Additionally, ineffective teaching methods worsened the situation. The proposed solutions included regular reading activities, the implementation of the phonics method to enhance phonemic skills, additional tutoring, and active parental involvement in supporting children's literacy. Schools were also encouraged to provide literacy facilities such as reading corners and integrate literacy activities before lessons. The synergy between teachers, parents, and schools was key to improving students' early reading abilities.

Abstract

Assessment of learning outcomes needs to consider the appropriateness between the level of difficulty of questions and the cognitive level being measured, especially in Physical Geography–Geomorphology material that requires higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). This study aims to analyze the relationship between the level of difficulty of questions and cognitive levels as defined by Bloom's Taxonomy and Marzano's Taxonomy. The study employs a quantitative descriptive approach by developing ten essay-type questions classified according to both taxonomies. The difficulty level analysis was conducted using Classical Test Theory (CTT) with the parameter of the proportion of participants who answered correctly. The research results indicate that difficulty levels do not always correlate with cognitive levels. In Bloom's Taxonomy, C1 questions tend to be the easiest, while in Marzano's Taxonomy, C3 questions are actually easier than other levels. This demonstrates that difficulty levels and cognitive levels are two distinct concepts, so the perception that HOTS questions are always difficult is not entirely accurate. In conclusion, the development of assessment instruments must consider the relationship between learning objectives, cognitive levels, and item characteristics. The study recommends integrating HOTS-based learning into geomorphology material through the use of contextual media and geospatial technology to support meaningful assessment and the development of 21st-century skills.

Abstract

This study aims at assessing the tenth-graders’ reading achievements at the Vocational High School whose organizationally affiliates with Muhammadiyah Islamic organization in Seyegan Sleman through the think-pair-share model. Thirty-six (n = 36) students of tenth-graders of the vocational high school participated as the respondents. Data collection used tenth-graders’ reading test and learning observation. Quantitative data were statistically analyzed by the SPSS program to gain the descriptive analyses of the test, while qualitative data analyzed by qualifying the observational-based session descriptively. The finding of the test also noted that the lowest score of reading gained 45.00 and the highest score was 100.00 through the analytic scoring assessment. Meanwhile, the mean was 78.89 and the standard deviation was 14.289 (n = 36). The overall achievement of reading was in good category with 25.0%, while the finding of the observation showed that the tenth graders were able to work with their friends in reading class by conducting the think-pair-share model.

Abstract

Psychological capital is a positive psychological resource that enables individuals to stay optimistic, resilient, and confident when facing challenges. However, valid and reliable instruments to measure psychological capital in Indonesia remain limited, creating a gap in local assessment. Therefore, this study aimed to adapt and validate the Indonesian version of the Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ-24) to ensure linguistic and psychometric equivalence. The research employed a quantitative design with both qualitative and quantitative analyses. The adaptation process followed stages of translation, synthesis, back translation, expert review, and pilot testing. Qualitative analysis was conducted to assess item equivalence and cultural appropriateness, while quantitative analysis involved Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and reliability testing. The participants were 202 Generation Z employees aged 20-28 years selected using purposive sampling. The adaptation produced 24 linguistically equivalent items after minor revisions. CFA confirmed a four-factor model hope, efficacy, resilience, and optimism with acceptable fit indices (CFI = 0.830; RMSEA = 0.073; SRMR = 0.068) and reliability ranging from 0.60-0.77 (overall = 0.996). These findings indicate that the Indonesian PCQ-24 is linguistically appropriate and psychometrically reliable for measuring psychological capital among Generation Z employees.
