pii: S232247701400004-4 The Comparison of Two Methods of Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Diagonally Weighted Least Squares (DWLS) in Testing Construct Validity of Achievement Goals |

Stud., 4(1): 22-28, 2014 ABSTRACT: The present essay was intended to compare between two methods of estimation, namely, Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Diagonally Weighted Least Squares (DWLS) in determination of construct validity of achievement goals. The statistical population of this investigation includes all high school third grade students in the fields of empirical sciences and math- physics from Isfahan City during academic year 2005-6, that they were totally 7278. 400 students were chosen by means of stratified sampling technique with proportional assignment. To measure achievement goals, two subscales of mastery goals and performance goals were used that have been exclusively prepared to utilize in the field of mathematics by Middleton and Midgley. The Cronbach alpha coefficients for variables of mastery goals were obtained as 0.76 and 0.82 respectively. The results showed that if the observed variables are ordinal and their categories are lesser than 5, then it is important to select DWLS method as the best choice for estimation before estimating parameters and review of data distribution with respect to type of data. If researcher does not checkup assumptions and adapts default estimation method (ML) so the results may be biased and this may lead to making the erroneous decisions. |

pii: S232247701400011-4 Composing in Persian as a Second Language and English as a Foreign Language: A Study of Narrative Writing Applied Linguistics |
Original Research, D11 Savaedy SY. J. Educ. Manage. Stud., 4(1): 71-79, 2014 ABSTRACT: Although numerous studies have been conducted to investigate second language composing processes; little research has been dedicated to investigate potential relationships between second- and foreign-language composing behaviors. This article is done to shed some light into these relationship(s)-specifically between composing in Persian as a second language and composing in English as a foreign language. The research questions posited were: Are good writers in Persian also good writers in English? And what role does learners' English proficiency play in their composing in English? Eighteen Iranian Arab high-school students were asked to write two narrative stories based on two series of pictures, one in Persian and the other in English. The participants' English and Persian compositions were analyzed both quantitatively (the number of sentences, words, and idea units) and qualitatively (holistic scoring). It was found that a high degree of correlation exists only between the compositions of the participants with a comparatively higher level of proficiency. This finding indicated that there should be a threshold English proficiency level: the students above this level composed similarly in Persian and English, whereas some of the students below the level had considerably more problems in composing in English and Persian.Keywords: Second Language, Narrative Writing, Linguistics |
