Whalley, W. Brian – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2016
The concepts of optimal foraging theory and the marginal value theorem are used to investigate possible student behaviour in accruing marks in various forms of assessment. The ideas of predator energy consumption, handling and search times can be evaluated in terms of student behaviour and gaining marks or "attainment". These ideas can…

Scott, Shirley V. – Journal of Further and Higher Education, 2015
Assessment is central to learning. It is also central to the cost of providing higher education. Choosing how much and what forms of assessment are questions not only of good teaching but of good policy. Measuring the amount of assessment set in each course provides a basis on which to determine equitable and appropriate workloads for students and…

Hamlen, Karla R. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2009
This study explored relationships between time spent playing video games in a typical week and general creativity, as measured by a common assessment. One hundred eighteen students in 4th and 5th grades answered questions about their video game play and completed the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (Torrance, Orlow, & Safter, 1990). While…

Gilbertson, Donna; Witt, Joseph C.; Duhon, Gary; Dufrene, Brad – Education and Treatment of Children, 2008
This study examined the utility of a brief assessment approach for identifying a potentially effective intervention to improve math performance and on-task behavior. Participants included four elementary students referred for intervention services in the general education classroom. A brief individual assessment was conducted with each participant…

Gilbertson, Donna; Duhon, Gary; Witt, Joseph C.; Dufrene, Brad – Education and Treatment of Children, 2008
This study examined the effects of task difficulty on on-task behavior for four students exhibiting low levels of math performance and on-task behavior. Curriculum-based assessments were conducted with each student to define the difficulty level of math tasks for each student based on the individual's rate of accurate performance on computational…

Dolezal, Danielle N.; Weber, Kimberly P.; Evavold, Jessica J.; Wylie, Jennifer; McLaughlin, T. F. – Child & Family Behavior Therapy, 2007
The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the use of a reinforcement package with four middle school students who were below grade level in reading. Data were gathered, independently by two observers, for on-task behavior for the number of correct words read for a two-minute timed trial, and for book pre- and posttests. These data were…

VanFossen, Phillip J.; McGrew, Chris – International Journal of Social Education, 2008
This study replicates a 2005 study of the status of social studies in the K-5 curriculum in Indiana. The current study reports the results of a comprehensive survey (33 fixed and 2 open-ended) of a stratified (by grade) random sample of K-5 teachers in Indiana (n = 385; response rate = 32%). Results indicated a continued marginalization of social…

Rushinek, Sara F.; And Others – AEDS Journal, 1986
Describes performance criteria for users of computer assisted instruction (CAI) that are used to provide users with feedback about their performance relative to other users. This study evaluated 146 novice users on their percentages of correct responses, time required for completion, and number of times the CAI tutorial was performed. (LRW)

Cunningham, Robert F. – School Science and Mathematics, 2005
For students to develop an understanding of functions, they must have opportunities to solve problems that require them to transfer between algebraic, numeric, and graphic representations (transfer problems). Research has confirmed student difficulties with certain types of transfer problems and has suggested instructional factors as a possible…

Huitt, William G.; And Others – 1982
Methods and procedures were developed for monitoring and evaluating classrooms on critical dimensions derived from process-product research. The evaluation process for each of these student behaviors, related to improving academic achievement, is described. The dimensions include student engaged time, which is a product of allocated time and…

Bangert, Arthur W. – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2006
Traditionally campus-based courses rely on student evaluations to provide instructors with feedback about their teaching effectiveness. However, current student evaluations of teaching instruments do not adequately assess many of the essential constructivist-based teaching practices recommended for quality online learning experiences. One of the…

Friedman, Douglas L.; And Others – 1987
Variability of attention to task and its relation to instructional contexts for learning disabled (LD) children was investigated. Subjects were 24 mainstreamed elementary grade LD children. The children's behaviors relating to academic engagement and the situational contexts in which they occurred were observed and coded in both the regular class…

Patterson, Norma J.H. – 1999
Two graduate-level educational administration courses, one delivered by computer-mediated (distributed) means and one held face-to-face, were evaluated based upon the needs of adult learners and active learning precepts. The same course was delivered to both classes by the same group of professors, using identical course requirements. The…
