Matt Homer – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2024
Quantitative measures of systematic differences in OSCE scoring across examiners (often termed examiner stringency) can threaten the validity of examination outcomes. Such effects are usually conceptualised and operationalised based solely on checklist/domain scores in a station, and global grades are not often used in this type of analysis. In…

Wendy Swenson Roth – Journal of Education for Business, 2024
Spreadsheets help businesses run effectively and efficiently. However, many spreadsheets contain errors. Research provides taxonomies and guidance on preventing spreadsheet errors; this information often is not incorporated into training. Training students to use Excel functions and good spreadsheet practices is critical. This instructional…

Olla, Rita; Houmanfar, Ramona A.; Esquierdo-Leal, Jovonnie L.; Crosswell, Laura H. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2023
Modern societies need higher education systems that are strongly grounded on scientific knowledge and evidence-based teaching tools. This laboratory-based study extended Chase and Houmanfar (2009), examining the effects of basic and elaborate feedback on participants' performance measured with two sets of tests administered after a college-level…

Han, Ye; Xu, Yueting – Teaching in Higher Education, 2021
The dissonance between teachers' substantial effort to provide feedback and students' under-engagement with feedback has been consistently reported in higher education. A contributing factor to this disparity students' lack of feedback literacy, however, has been under-researched. This case study of two Chinese undergraduate students therefore…

Sata, Mehmet; Karakaya, Ismail – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2022
In the process of measuring and assessing high-level cognitive skills, interference of rater errors in measurements brings about a constant concern and low objectivity. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of rater training on rater errors in the process of assessing individual performance. The study was conducted with a…

Özdemir-Yilmazer, Meryem; Özkan, Yonca – PROFILE: Issues in Teachers' Professional Development, 2023
Dynamic assessment is a dialectic procedure requiring teachers to assess learners' progress by paying attention to students' errors while providing graduated prompts to help them fix them. Although previous studies have focused on the teachers' competence in carrying out the dynamic assessment, this case study explores the dynamic assessment…

Deprez, T.; Gijsen, S. E.; Deprez, J.; De Cock, M. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
We investigated the influence of context on students' understanding of cross products of vectors using three isomorphic multiple-choice tests asking for the direction of a cross product in different geometrical settings. One version of the test involved the Lorentz force, the second version involved the torque on an electric dipole, and the third…

Amini, Mojtaba – Language Testing in Asia, 2018
Background: Translation quality assessment (TQA) suffers from subjectivity in both neighboring disciplines: 'TEFL' and 'Translation Studies, and more empirical studies are required to get closer to objectivity in this domain. The present study evaluated the quality of the written translation of TEFL students through three different approaches to…

K. Pokorn, Nike; Blake, Jason; Reindl, Donald; Pisanski Peterlin, Agnes – Interpreter and Translator Trainer, 2020
The article attempts to determine whether translation errors (in particular semantic and stylistic ones) in translator-training settings are predominantly the result of translation directionality, i.e. of the fact that the student translators are translating into their L2 and that their language competence in L2 is not as strong as in their L1, or…

Reed, Deborah K.; Cummings, Kelli D.; Schaper, Andrew; Lynn, Devon; Biancarosa, Gina – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2019
Informal reading inventories (IRI) and curriculum-based measures of reading (CBM-R) have continued importance in instructional planning, but raters have exhibited difficulty in accurately identifying students' miscues. To identify and tabulate scorers' mismarkings, this study employed examiners and raters who scored 15,051 words from 108 passage…

Slominski, Tara N.; Momsen, Jennifer L.; Montplaisir, Lisa M. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2017
Drawings are an underutilized assessment format in Human Anatomy and Physiology (HA&P), despite their potential to reveal student content understanding and alternative conceptions. This study used student-generated drawings to explore student knowledge in a HA&P course. The drawing tasks in this study focused on chemical synapses between…

Sevilla-Morales, Henry; Gamboa-Mena, Roy – GIST Education and Learning Research Journal, 2019
This study examines future teachers' theoretical reflections on Critical Incidents and how these link to Costa Rica's English teaching system. Participants included 30 senior college students from an English teaching program. Using narrative research techniques, the authors have concluded that: (1) spaces for reflection must be created in EFL so…

Hung, Yu-ju – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2019
Grounded on the notion of observational learning in social cognitive learning theory, this study evaluated the effectiveness of repeated self-assessment on English-as-a-foreign-language learners' oral performance and the perceptions of the students and the instructor of this practice. Ninety-seven students from three classes in a Taiwanese college…

Steif, Paul S.; Fu, Luoting; Kara, Levent Burak – Interactive Learning Environments, 2016
Problems faced by engineering students involve multiple pathways to solution. Students rarely receive effective formative feedback on handwritten homework. This paper examines the potential for computer-based formative assessment of student solutions to multipath engineering problems. In particular, an intelligent tutor approach is adopted and…

Lehan, Tara; Hussey, Heather; Mika, Eva – Journal of University Teaching and Learning Practice, 2016
Throughout the dissertation process, the chair and committee members provide feedback regarding quality to help the doctoral candidate to produce the highest-quality document and become an independent scholar. Nevertheless, results of previous research suggest that overall dissertation quality generally is poor. Because much of the feedback about…
