Said Hadjerrouit; Celestine Ifeanyi Nnagbo – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2023
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the affordances of the e-assessment system Numbas from an Activity Theory perspective. The study follows a qualitative research design combined with semi-structured interviews with six students and two teachers. The findings reveal that the students were able to perceive and actualise several affordances…

Hadjerrouit, Said; Nnagbo, Celestine Ifeanyi – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2022
E-assessment systems such as Numbas are now widespread in mathematics education at the primary, secondary, and tertiary level. However, little is known about the affordances and constraints of Numbas in mathematics teacher education. The purpose of this study is to investigate the emergence, perception, and actualisation of Numbas affordances and…

Zhang, Haoran; Litman, Diane – Grantee Submission, 2020
While automated essay scoring (AES) can reliably grade essays at scale, automated writing evaluation (AWE) additionally provides formative feedback to guide essay revision. However, a neural AES typically does not provide useful feature representations for supporting AWE. This paper presents a method for linking AWE and neural AES, by extracting…

Handrayani, Dina – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2022
Assessment is an essential activity in learning and teaching. It is classified into two categories based on its function: summative and formative assessments. During the pandemic, school learning activities, such as assessment, have been altered into online learning, which is quite challenging to carry out. This study investigated the kinds of…

Vittoria Bonanzinga; Francesca Casasso; Cecilia Fissore; Valeria Fradiante; Marina Marchisio – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2022
From 2020/2021 the evaluation of students' learning in primary school is no longer expressed through a decimal-based score, but through a descriptive assessment, in a more formative perspective of evaluation. In addition, the widespread use of technological tools in school has changed the teaching/learning process and it has highlighted the need…

Rogers, Angela – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2021
Test developers are continually exploring the possibilities Computer Based Assessment (CBA) offers the Mathematics domain. This paper describes the trial of the Place Value Assessment Tool (PVAT) and its online equivalent, the PVAT-O. Both tests were administered using a counterbalanced research design to 253 Year 3-6 students across nine classes…

Tolo, Astrid; Chan, Jessica; Hopfenbeck, Therese N. – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2018
This paper addresses the understanding of technological tools' influences on formative assessment in classrooms. From an extensive literature review we outline what is known about the role technology is playing in assisting teachers' assessment practice and how this is being done in primary and secondary school settings. A literature search…

Lee, Hee-Sun; McNamara, Danielle; Bracey, Zoë Buck; Wilson, Christopher; Osborne, Jonathan; Haudek, Kevin C.; Liu, Ou Lydia; Pallant, Amy; Gerard, Libby; Linn, Marcia C.; Sherin, Bruce – Grantee Submission, 2019
Rapid advancements in computing have enabled automatic analyses of written texts created in educational settings. The purpose of this symposium is to survey several applications of computerized text analyses used in the research and development of productive learning environments. Four featured research projects have developed or been working on:…

Allen, Laura K.; Likens, Aaron D.; McNamara, Danielle S. – Grantee Submission, 2018
The assessment of writing proficiency generally includes analyses of the specific linguistic and rhetorical features contained in the singular essays produced by students. However, researchers have recently proposed that an individual's ability to flexibly adapt the linguistic properties of their writing might more closely capture writing skill.…

Lazarinis, Fotis; Verykios, Vassilios S.; Panagiotakopoulos, Chris – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2017
In this paper we present a mobile application for self-assessment. The work describes the main features of the application and focuses on its acceptance by students and the increase on their learning, through its usage in real testing settings. The application supports the retrieval of questions based on a number of criteria and it was evaluated…

Price, Beth; Steinle, Vicki; Stacey, Kaye; Gvozdenko, Eugene – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2014
This study reports on the use of formative, diagnostic online assessments for the topic percentages. Two new item formats (drag-drop and slider) are described. About one-third of the school students (Years 7 to 9) could, using a slider, estimate "80% more than" a given length, in contrast with over two-thirds who could estimate "90%…

Filiz, Mehmet; Trumpower, David; Atas, Sait – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2013
We have been developing a digital concept maps website (www.conceptmapsforlearning.com) based on the principles of effective assessment for learning. The purpose of this paper is to reveal its promising contributions to formative evaluation practices. The website reduces the workload of teachers as well as provides immediate and delayed feedback…

Lazzeri, Santos; Cabezas, Ximena; Ojeda, Luis; Leiva, Francisca – Research-publishing.net, 2015
We assess the effect of automated formative evaluations on reading comprehension skills in a course of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) in the area of kinesiology at the Universidad Austral de Chile-Valdivia (UACh). The evaluations were implemented using Questionmark's Perception (QMP) (Questionmark-Corporation, 2015). We investigate: (1) Do…
