There is growing interest in incorporating multiple voices and ways of knowing into assessment efforts. Attention to incorporating multiple approaches to measuring student learning increases equity in assessment (Montenegro and Jankowski 2017) and promotes engagement with a variety of stakeholders with diverse perspectives on knowledge. However,…

Given sample data, how do you calculate the value of a parameter? While this question is impossible to answer, it is frequently encountered in statistics classes when students are introduced to the distinction between a sample and a population (or between a statistic and a parameter). It is not uncommon for teachers of statistics to also confuse…

This study focuses on the practical teaching mode of vocational education under the background of Internet Plus. The traditional model has some problems, such as lack of resources, single method, weak teachers and one-sided evaluation. The internet has brought many positive effects on practical teaching, such as expanding resources, providing…

Researchers continue to choose PCA in scale development and adaptation studies because it is the default setting and overestimates measurement quality. When PCA is utilized in investigations, the explained variance and factor loadings can be exaggerated. PCA, in contrast to the models given in the literature, should be investigated in…

This study has collected the data, analysed it, and drawn the necessary scientific conclusions to standardise the toolkit to evaluate educational accreditation activities' influence on training program development in Vietnam. The research method of the article includes building survey questionnaires and collecting data from 80 lecturers in 10…

Measurement invariance (MI) is an essential part of validity evidence concerned with ensuring that tests function similarly across groups, contexts, and time. Most evaluations of MI involve multigroup confirmatory factor analyses (MGCFA) that assume simple structure. However, recent research has shown that constraining non-target indicators to…

This paper examines the impact and relevance of the use of case studies as a teaching and learning tool in Montessori leadership programs. Frequently used as learning tools in educational leadership preparation programs, selected case studies were limited to those in Montessori leadership and language. Surveys and interviews with graduate students…

Reflecting global trends, there is a growing demand for research into research-based teacher education in Kazakhstan. This study employs a qualitative multiple-case study design to examine the experiences of 450 undergraduate student teachers who completed educational research methods courses at four major teacher training universities in…

A blended teaching mode is necessary to improve the study efficiency of nursing students. This study aimed to explore the effects of the use of case-based learning (CBL), involving microlectures and flipped classroom teaching methods (flipped CBL mode), via online tools on the teaching of physiology to nursing undergraduates. A total of 207…

The post-pandemic expectations of today's students require greater innovation in teaching and learning. Rapidly changing technologies and software applications will drastically change how higher education is structured and disseminated. In this article, the authors examine the use of micro-credentialing, the potential and challenges of Artificial…

Factor analysis is widely utilized to identify latent factors underlying the observed variables. This paper presents a comprehensive comparative study of two widely used methods for determining the optimal number of factors in factor analysis, the K1 rule, and parallel analysis, along with a more recently developed method, the bass-ackward method.…

Purpose: While numerous studies have explored the challenges of teaching physical education during COVID-19, there is a gap in research on physical education post-COVID-19. Therefore, this study aimed to examine physical education practices post-COVID-19, focusing on the changes in curriculum, instruction, and assessment. Method: A mixed method…

Dominant approaches to assessment have often limited students' ability to share their perspectives on course experiences. Further, assessment approaches are often disconnected from pedagogical practice and reinforce the status quo. In this article, we outline our critical-interpretive approach to a four-year cycle of assessments examining…

This paper introduces a framework aimed at assessing the sustainability of fashion designers, intending to evaluate their proficiency in sustainability and enhance higher education in design. To establish a system for assessing and evaluating sustainable design competence, we initiated interviews with both designers and fashion design students.…

Rubrics play a crucial role in shaping educational assessment, providing clear criteria for both teaching and learning. The advent of online rubric platforms has the potential to significantly enhance the effectiveness of rubrics in educational contexts, offering innovative features for assessment and feedback through the creation of erubrics.…
