Oscar Karnalim – Informatics in Education, 2024
Programming students need to be informed about plagiarism and collusion. Hence, we developed an assessment submission system to remind students about the matter. Each submission will be compared to others and any similarities that do not seem a result of coincidence will be reported along with their possible reasons. The system also employs…

Nikola M. Luburic; Luka Z. Doric; Jelena J. Slivka; Dragan Lj. Vidakovic; Katarina-Glorija G. Grujic; Aleksandar D. Kovacevic; Simona B. Prokic – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2025
Software engineers are tasked with writing functionally correct code of high quality. Maintainability is a crucial code quality attribute that determines the ease of analyzing, modifying, reusing, and testing a software component. This quality attribute significantly affects the software's lifetime cost, contributing to developer productivity and…

Blagg, Kristin; Blom, Erica; Kelchen, Robert; Chien, Carina – Urban Institute, 2021
Policymakers have expressed increased interest in program-level higher education accountability measures as a supplement to, or in place of, institution-level metrics. But it is unclear what these measures should look like. In this report, we assess the ways program-level data could be developed to facilitate federal accountability. Evidence shows…

Shi, Yang; Schmucker, Robin; Chi, Min; Barnes, Tiffany; Price, Thomas – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2023
Knowledge components (KCs) have many applications. In computing education, knowing the demonstration of specific KCs has been challenging. This paper introduces an entirely data-driven approach for: (1) discovering KCs; and (2) demonstrating KCs, using students' actual code submissions. Our system is based on two expected properties of KCs: (1)…

Leigh Jin; Tai-Yin Chi; Brenda Mak – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2024
This paper presents the Screencast-Based Assessment Technique (SBAT) for a mobile app development curriculum in the information systems discipline. SBAT was implemented as a midterm take-home exam in which students design and develop an app project based on their own interests, passions, or ambitions. In addition to coding, students must create…

Violante, Maria Grazia; Moos, Sandro; Vezzetti, Enrico – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2020
This paper presents a learning outcomes-based methodology to produce a summative assessment to use in any course at any educational level. It takes into consideration the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) to define the learning outcomes, Bloom's taxonomy to define the assessment questions and the QR code to help managing large class size.…

Harwell, Michael; Maeda, Yukiko; Bishop, Kyoungwon; Xie, Aolin – Journal of Experimental Education, 2017
Measures of socioeconomic status (SES) are routinely used in analyses of achievement data to increase statistical power, statistically control for the effects of SES, and enhance causality arguments under the premise that the SES-achievement relationship is moderate to strong. Empirical evidence characterizing the strength of the SES-achievement…

Knowlton, Steven A. – College & Research Libraries, 2016
Librarians often wish to know whether readers in a particular discipline favor e-books or print books. Because print circulation and e-book usage statistics are not directly comparable, it can be hard to determine the relative interest of readers in the two types of books. This study demonstrates a two-step method by which librarians can assess…

Nutbrown, Stephen; Higgins, Colin – Computer Science Education, 2016
This article explores the suitability of static analysis techniques based on the abstract syntax tree (AST) for the automated assessment of early/mid degree level programming. Focus is on fairness, timeliness and consistency of grades and feedback. Following investigation into manual marking practises, including a survey of markers, the assessment…

Bokser, Julie A.; Brown, Sarah; Chaden, Caryn; Moore, Michael; Cleary, Michelle Navarre; Reed, Susan; Seifert, Eileen; Zecker, Liliana Barro; Wozniak, Kathryn – International Journal of ePortfolio, 2016
Research has suggested ePortfolios reveal and support students' metacognition, that is, their awareness, tracking, and evaluation of their learning over time. However, due to the wide variety of purposes and audiences for ePortfolios, it has been unclear whether there might be common criteria for identifying and assessing metacognition in…

Shen, Ji; Sung, Shannon; Zhang, Dongmei – International Journal of Science Education, 2015
Students need to think and work across disciplinary boundaries in the twenty-first century. However, it is unclear what interdisciplinary thinking means and how to analyze interdisciplinary interactions in teamwork. In this paper, drawing on multiple theoretical perspectives and empirical analysis of discourse contents, we formulate a theoretical…
