Online education has been expected to be the future of learning; it will never replace the value of traditional classroom experiences fully. Technical problems have less impact on offline education, which gives students more freedom to plan their time and stick to it. In addition, teachers cannot observe their students' behavior and activities…

Contribution: We present a framework for teachers to investigate the relationships between attributes of students' solutions in the process of problem solving or computational thinking. We provide visualization and evaluation techniques to find hidden patterns in the students' solutions which allow teachers to predict the specific behavior of…

Curiosity is one of the most important characters for elementary school students. However, the facts in the field show that the measurement model used by the teacher to identify the student's curiosity is not yet available in a standardized manner. This study aims to develop a model for measuring the curiosity of elementary school students using…

Children live complex social lives that has various aspects, including intimate friendships, peer-acceptance and bullying dynamics which is usually studied separately in research. This study aims to investigate the interplays of these three important fields by analyzing the moderating effects of number of friendships on the relation between…

Predictive student models are increasingly used in learning environments due to their ability to enhance educational outcomes and support stakeholders in making informed decisions. However, predictive models can be biased and produce unfair outcomes, leading to potential discrimination against certain individuals and harmful long-term…

As institutions implement more comprehensive hazing prevention efforts, assessment is a necessary strategy for ensuring that programs and services for students are achieving their intended outcomes, especially as hazing behaviors change and evolve. Using a multi-stage student learning and development outcomes cycle, this article outlines steps to…

In this paper, we present an approach for online course evaluation based on learners' behaviors during the learning process, where the course creator can monitor the quality status of their online courses based on learners' learning outcomes and then intervene to improve the success rate. For this purpose, a set of criteria has been developed.…

Complex competences, such as managing students' aggressive behaviour, are challenging to develop during teacher training. Recently, video-based simulations have been considered promising, yet suitable assessment instruments are limitedly available. This paper reports on the design and evaluation of a video-based assessment tool tailored to measure…

Various factors such as regulatory body mandates, graduate employability challenges, decreasing student engagement and increasing academic misconduct in higher education have motivated universities to explore alternative approaches to teach and assess. Accordingly, the oral assessment has taken precedence in many contexts as a popular form of…

Middle level school teachers commonly measure and monitor students' academic performance, but such is not the case for students' classroom behavior. This is unfortunate, given the rise in students' classroom behavior problems in middle school, especially for students who experience emotional or behavioral disorders. The Classroom Performance…

In response to dissatisfaction with testing cultures in higher education, programmatic assessment has been introduced as an alternative approach. Programmatic assessment involves the longitudinal collection of data points about student learning, aimed at continuous monitoring and feedback. High-stakes decisions are based on a multitude of data…

The purpose of this scoping review was to explore operationalizations and related conceptualizations of young children's engagement in early childhood education and care (ECEC) settings. The literature search was conducted in March 2021 across ERIC, PsycINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, with the aim of identifying studies where child…

Despite the value of self- and peer-assessments in supporting learning, research reports mixed findings about self- and peer-assessments of writing, raising intriguing queries about the validity and utility of student-led assessment in a writing classroom. Applying a many-facets Rasch measurement approach, this quantitative study investigated 53…

With the increasing bandwidth, videos have been gradually used as submissions for online peer assessment activities. However, their transient nature imposes a high cognitive load on students, particularly lowability students. Therefore, reviewers' ability is a key factor that may affect the reviewing process and performance in an online video peer…

Sales management students carry certain misconceptions about sales jobs, which often create confusion in their minds about the nature of the sales job- should they be customer-oriented or sales-oriented? To excel in the initial years of their careers as effective salespersons, students might emphasize sales-orientation or target achievement over…
