Taylor, Jonathan E.; Sondermeyer, Elizabeth – Adult Learning, 2023
Over 2000 years ago, Aristotle wrote of four distinct causes at play in the world we know. Those causes, the material cause, the formal cause, the efficient cause, and the final cause, were meant to refer to ontological and, by extension, epistemological concerns, and were powerful enough to be seized upon and used in some form by those of very…

Williams-McBean, Clavia T. – Environmental Education Research, 2023
History has shown that despite favourable changes in policy and perception, undesirable or ineffective educational practices in the Caribbean have remained largely unchanged, or superficially or inadequately changed.

Cirkony, Connie; Kenny, John Daniel – Australian Journal of Teacher Education, 2022
In this paper we argue that the complexity of education systems can lead to a lack of coherence in the implementation of policy. More effective educational change requires policymakers and researchers to pay more attention to supporting teachers in classrooms. As an example, we consider decades of research attempts in STEM education to implement…

Giabbanelli, Philippe J.; Tawfik, Andrew A.; Wang, Bao – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2023
Instructional strategies employing complex problem-solving examine how learners represent the problem space and argue for decisions. Unlike problems with few solutions (e.g., multiple choices), instructors struggle to evaluate solutions to ill-structured problems quickly and consistently across students. This prevents instructors to provide timely…

Recent advancements in generative artificial intelligence (AI) have disrupted assessment practices within the higher education sector. The efficacy of existing assessment approaches is under reexamination with the introduction of generative AI's ability to generate human-like text. Simultaneously, there are calls to integrate generative AI into…

Leighton, Jacqueline P. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2019
If K-12 students are to be fully integrated as active participants in their own learning, understanding how they interpret formative assessment feedback is needed. The objective of this article is to advance three claims about why teachers and assessment scholars/specialists may have little understanding of students' interpretation of formative…

Meijer, Hajo; Hoekstra, Rink; Brouwer, Jasperina; Strijbos, Jan-Willem – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2020
Over the past two decades, curricula in higher education have increasingly incorporated collaborative learning. However, due to (a) large variations in students' domain-specific abilities (e.g. knowledge and/or skills) and the effort they invest into the collaboration and (b) teachers' limited knowledge about how to assess collaborative learning,…

Gotwals, Amelia Wenk – Applied Measurement in Education, 2018
In this commentary, I consider the three empirical studies in this special issue based on two main aspects: (a) the nature of the learning progressions and (b) what formative assessment practice(s) were investigated. Specifically, I describe differences among the learning progressions in terms of scope and grain size. I also identify three…

In the first decade of the 21st century, distance learning (usually subject to course fees and resulting in formal certification) was complemented by free-of-charge open learning courses with unlimited numbers of participants and no final certificate. Termed "massive open online courses" (MOOCs), these soon fell into different…

Coultas, Valerie – FORUM: for promoting 3-19 comprehensive education, 2017
This article examines the abandonment of talk-based assessment in favour of written exams, even when writing results in less valid assessment. It points to substantial experience of assessment through talk in English and media studies and points to its potential use in other subjects. It is followed by an example, originally designed by the…
