Purpose: The study aims to propose and validate a multidimensional measure of trainees' experienced vocational education and training quality (TEVETQ) in an Indian context. Design/methodology/approach: This study explains a deductive approach in conceptualizing TEVETQ as a second-order, reflective-formative construct and its subsequent validation…

This mathematics classroom based experimental study determined the relative effectiveness of formative assessment techniques on students' academic achievement in Mathematics. Factorial research design was adopted for the study involving 100 students from 2 co-educational secondary schools drawn through multistage sampling procedure. Mathematics…

Instructional design problems are one of the most complicated and ill-structured types of problems due to the dynamic nature of design problems and decision-making processes. Formulating instructional design solutions thereby requires teachers to possess adequate decision-making knowledge and skills and apply them to instructional design. This…

Assessment plays a critical role in instruction and curriculum. Existing literature on instructors' assessment practices and related factors has been intensively focused on primary and secondary education. This study extended the contexts of previous literature to post-secondary chemistry education by exploring general chemistry instructors'…

Although graduate academic institutions implement diverse annual review processes, their overall intent is focused on ensuring continuous improvement of program quality (National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment, 2020). Through program review processes, university leaders (e.g., department chairs, program leads) analyze student…

Aware of the various issues involved in assessing learning, but also of the difficulties encountered in classroom practice of this pedagogical act, we set out in this article to explore and analyze the assessment practices of secondary school mathematics teachers and the conceptions they underlie. The study was conducted from a systemic…

In the present study we investigate one 7th-grade mathematics teacher's eight-month long implementation of a comprehensive multi-approach formative assessment practice. Based on an analysis of classroom observations, interviews and written teacher logbooks, this classroom practice is described in detail to illustrate how multi-approach formative…

Translation evaluation, assessment and criticism are widely studied concepts referring to quality control and enhancement in both professional translation and translation training. However, there is still a need for translator trainers to develop a specific competence in translation assessment in the academic context, since they must provide…

Formative assessments, such as exit tickets, are effective tools for enhancing student reflection and understanding. While prevalent in K-12 education, their application in higher education remains underexplored. This study investigates the implementation of exit tickets in an undergraduate Principles of Marketing course, aiming to evaluate their…

The authors developed an instructional nudges as part of a larger research project. These instructional nudges are designed to be small but powerful changes to teachers' existing practices. Some instructional nudges focus on modifying tasks used in classrooms. In this article, the authors share Rate and Review. The goal of Rate and Review is to…

In this "Perspective on Practice," we describe an application of recommendations made in "Formative Assessment in Secondary ­Mathematics: Moving Theory to Recommendations for Evidence-Based Practice" (Kenney et al., 2022), which was recently published in this journal. The authors made recommendations for mathematics teacher…

This study explores the responsiveness of an elementary teacher's support for emergent bilingual students by examining the connections between the teacher's assessment expertise, formative assessment practices, and emergent bilinguals' unique language needs in math classes. The study, which investigated the indicators that characterize a…

Online assessment is one of the important factors in online learning today. An online summary assessment is an example of an open-ended question, offering the advantage of probing students' understanding of the learning materials. However, grading students' summary writings is challenging due to the time-consuming process of evaluating students'…

This study explores the factors influencing students' online game-based learning (OGBL) performance. At present, motivating students to engage in learning actively represents a significant challenge faced by teachers and other stakeholders. Additionally, the findings of a variety of OGBL studies have been inconsistent or contradictory,…

Giving feedback is key to online collaborative discussion, but the impact of feedback on role-scripts in online discussion remains unclear. To address this research gap, a mixed factorial experiment was conducted to investigate the potential effects and interactions of feedback type (elaborated vs. motivational feedback) and scripted roles (yes…
