How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This research paper investigates graduate students' perceptions of a course in educational psychology at a private university in Kazakhstan. A questionnaire was used to gather information about students' overall satisfaction with the course, engagement with the material, and perceptions of the instructor and their teaching style. The data collected was analyzed to identify trends and patterns in students' perceptions, and to compare these perceptions to other variables such as prior knowledge or experience in the field. The results of the study provide valuable insights into students' experiences in the course and could inform efforts to improve similar courses in the future.
