Jamie Hofrichter – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The aim of this quasi-experimental study was to incorporate a cardiac simulation into a computer exam for Level 4 nursing students to determine if it would affect their anxiety levels and overall scores. Nursing education must constantly improve as technology and evidence-based practice evolves the world of healthcare. Literature regarding…

Yasin Karatay – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The assessment of oral proficiency in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) contexts remains a central challenge for researchers, test developers, and classroom teachers (Knoch & Macqueen, 2020). This problem is apparent especially in Tourism and Hotel Management (THM) programs, where students are tested mostly based on grammar, vocabulary, and…

Bukhari, Nurliyana – ProQuest LLC, 2017
In general, newer educational assessments are deemed more demanding challenges than students are currently prepared to face. Two types of factors may contribute to the test scores: (1) factors or dimensions that are of primary interest to the construct or test domain; and, (2) factors or dimensions that are irrelevant to the construct, causing…

Mohler, Michael A. G. – ProQuest LLC, 2012
In this dissertation, I explore unsupervised techniques for the task of automatic short answer grading. I compare a number of knowledge-based and corpus-based measures of text similarity, evaluate the effect of domain and size on the corpus-based measures, and also introduce a novel technique to improve the performance of the system by integrating…

Delepine, Sidney G., III – ProQuest LLC, 2012
The purpose of this quantitative study is to compare a new assessment tool, the SkillsUSA Connect Assessment with the NOCTI assessment to determine which test results in more students achieving success. A quantitative study, designed to compare test scores of students taking the NOCTI assessment and new assessments from SkillsUSA, called the…

Evans, Josiah Jeremiah – ProQuest LLC, 2010
In measurement research, data simulations are a commonly used analytical technique. While simulation designs have many benefits, it is unclear if these artificially generated datasets are able to accurately capture real examinee item response behaviors. This potential lack of comparability may have important implications for administration of…

Maza, Paul Sadiri – ProQuest LLC, 2010
In recent years, technological advances such as computers have been employed in teaching gross anatomy at all levels of education, even in professional schools such as medical and veterinary medical colleges. Benefits of computer based instructional tools for gross anatomy include the convenience of not having to physically view or dissect a…
