Log-based behavoral and self-reported personal qualities in educational assessments Log-based behavoral and self-reported personal qualities in educational assessments doi:10.17026/DANS-XGS-BDQTeasy-dataset:111344 J He 2018-09-22 DANS Data Station Social Sciences and Humanities 2018-09-22 Social Sciences <p>Personal qualities and skills such as perseverance and deep learning are important to assess and monitor for educational purposes, but their measurement in cross-cultural assessments is challenging. Conventional self-reported measures suffer from biases which can produce paradoxical results and pose difficulties to draw meaningful comparative inferences. We propose a new source of behavioral measures constructed unobtrusively from computer-generated logs in addition to self-reported measures. Using data from two large-scale educational surveys, we tested the convergent and predictive validity of self-reported and behavioral measures, and found that the behavioral measures are resistant to the self-presentation style or reference group effect, hence can compensate for the limitations of self-reports in cross-cultural analysis. We also illustrate the complementary nature of both measures, and encourage researchers to apply them integratively in educational evaluations.</p> https://ssh.datastations.nl/oai doi:10.17026/DANS-XGS-BDQT 2025-12-03T01:00:28Z ddi:codebook:2_5
