Wilcox, Jesse; Townsley, Matt – Science Teacher, 2022
Traditionally, assessing and grading students in science has been an exercise centered around points and percentages (Feldman, Kropf, and Alibrandi 1989; Prøitz 2013). However, with the introduction of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and the need to revisit grading practices stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, an increasing number of…

Bazelais, Paul; Breuleux, Alain; Doleck, Tenzin – Knowledge Management & E-Learning, 2022
Researchers have expressed concern about the state of STEM education. To improve this situation, new pedagogies, such as blended learning, have been proposed and tested. The last decade has seen an increase in the use of blended learning to support learning; however, the effect of blended learning on learning remains unclear and often mixed. The…

Bergner, Yoav; Choi, Ikkyu; Castellano, Katherine E. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2019
Allowance for multiple chances to answer constructed response questions is a prevalent feature in computer-based homework and exams. We consider the use of item response theory in the estimation of item characteristics and student ability when multiple attempts are allowed but no explicit penalty is deducted for extra tries. This is common…

As the 2015 revised national curriculum is being implementing in Korea, a teacher's assessment competency has become a point of focus for the potential enhancement of students' self-directed learning. Relevantly, a teacher's competency in student assessment is correlated to his/her individual feedback practices. Although students' self-directed…
