The significance of the WQI can be appreciated as the water resources play a crucial role in the overall environment and this index has also been recognized as one of the 25 environmental performance indicators of the holistic Environmental Performance Index (EPI).
We focused on three perspectives: (a) differences in the difficulty of prompts in terms of Criterion® holistic scores, (b) relationships between Criterion® holistic scores and indicators of L2 proficiency, and (c) changes in Criterion® holistic and writing quality scores at three time points over 28 weeks.
We investigate this from three perspectives: (a) differences in Criterion® holistic scores due to prompts (prompt difficulty), (b) relationships between Criterion® holistic scores and indicators of L2 proficiency, and (c) longitudinal changes in Criterion® holistic and writing quality scores.
Secondly, Criterion® holistic scores were found to be correlated positively with indicators of L2 proficiency, suggesting that the holistic scores may reflect L2 proficiency in L2 use contexts.
Relatively weak but positive correlations between Criterion® holistic scores and indicators of L2 proficiency.
We found relatively weak but positive correlations between Criterion® holistic scores and indicators of L2 general or writing proficiency, which can be interpreted as backing for the Extrapolation inference.
Reliability of the self-assessment scores in the questionnaire was high (α = .71 for Time 1 and.96 for Time 3), and Pearson product moment correlations were used to examine the relationships between Criterion® holistic scores and indicators of L2 proficiency.
The median of the Z value of each of the measured parameters (prognostic score) can be considered a quantitative evaluation of holistic changes rather than a change in only one indicator.
In intuitive decision-making, hunches, gut feelings, subconscious and holistic associations are pivotal indicators of what decision to make, rather than a 'good rationale' (Dane and Pratt 2007, Eling et al. 2014).
Given the existence of multiple indicators, a more holistic approach to quality assessment is to consider the 'within PCT' variance across the six indicators.
