Jaber, Ahmad M. D.; Bawalsah, Joseph A.; Hiari, Mohammad O.; Musleh, Mohammad; Haimur, Talal – Cypriot Journal of Educational Sciences, 2022
This study suggests a digital assessment tool - Smart Equation Exam System (SEED) - as a substitute for traditional multiple-choice and paper and pen exams. SEED includes a question bank, an answer platform, mathematical equations, and physics formulae. The novelty of SEED is that it allows all students with or without physical disabilities via…

Online assessments are needed during the prevailing pandemic situation to continue educational activities while ensuring safety. After conducting the online practical assessment (OPrA) in Biochemistry, we analyzed the students' responses. The blueprint of the OPrA was prepared by the faculty, referring to the various levels and domains of Bloom's…

Gerd Kortemeyer; Julian Nöhl; Daria Onishchuk – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection in Artificial Intelligence Tools in Physics Teaching and Physics Education Research.] Using a high-stakes thermodynamics exam as the sample (252 students, four multipart problems), we investigate the viability of four workflows for AI-assisted grading of handwritten student solutions. We find that the…

Maarten T. P. Beerepoot – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Digital automated assessment is a valuable and time-efficient tool for educators to provide immediate and objective feedback to learners. Automated assessment, however, puts high demands on the quality of the questions, alignment with the intended learning outcomes, and the quality of the feedback provided to the learners. We here describe the…

Endang Susantini; Yurizka Melia Sari; Prima Vidya Asteria; Muhammad Ilyas Marzuqi – Journal of Education and Learning (EduLearn), 2025
Assessing preservice' higher order thinking skills (HOTS) in science and mathematics is essential. Teachers' HOTS ability is closely related to their ability to create HOTS-type science and mathematics problems. Among various types of HOTS, one is Bloomian HOTS. To facilitate the preservice teacher to create problems in those subjects, an Android…

Parker, Mark A. J.; Hedgeland, Holly; Braithwaite, Nicholas; Jordan, Sally – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
The study investigated student reaction to the alternative mechanics survey (AMS), a modified force concept inventory, which used automatically marked free-response questions and offered limited feedback to students after their answers had been submitted. Eight participants were observed in completing the AMS, and they were interviewed to gain…

Todd, Kaylee; Therriault, David J.; Angerhofer, Alexander – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2021
Building domain knowledge is essential to a student's success in any course. Chemistry, similar to other STEM disciplines, has a strong cumulative element (i.e., topic areas continuously build upon prior coursework). We employed the testing effect, in the form of post-exam retrieval quizzes, as a way to improve students' understanding of chemistry…

White, Jonathon David – Physics Education, 2020
COVID-19 has upset the traditional ways of teaching and looks set to continue to have an impact in the coming years. The situation in Taiwan--partial disruption and then an early return to classes--allows for a comparison of student performance in a conventional teaching and testing environment with the non-contact teaching/testing environment…

Goolsby-Cole, Cody; Bass, Sarah M.; Stanwyck, Liz; Leupen, Sarah; Carpenter, Tara S.; Hodges, Linda C. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
During the pandemic, the use of question pools for online testing was recommended to mitigate cheating, exposing multitudes of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students across the globe to this practice. Yet instructors may be unfamiliar with the ways that seemingly small changes between questions in a pool can expose…

Zhongzhou Chen; Tom Zhang; Michelle Taub – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2024
The current study measures the extent to which students' self-regulated learning tactics and learning outcomes change as the result of a deliberate, data-driven improvement in the learning design of mastery-based online learning modules. In the original design, students were required to attempt the assessment once before being allowed to access…
