Philip Slobodsky; Mariana Durcheva – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2023
The mode of assessment is one of the most important factors influencing learning. E-assessment usually includes only checking the final answer, thus limiting teacher's ability to check the complete solution, and it does not allow inclusion of math proofs problems that constitute an important part of math content. The e-assessment module of Halomda…

Katrin Klingbeil; Fabian Rösken; Bärbel Barzel; Florian Schacht; Kaye Stacey; Vicki Steinle; Daniel Thurm – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2024
Assessing students' (mis)conceptions is a challenging task for teachers as well as for researchers. While individual assessment, for example through interviews, can provide deep insights into students' thinking, this is very time-consuming and therefore not feasible for whole classes or even larger settings. For those settings, automatically…

Hoseana, Jonathan; Stepanus, Oriza; Octora, Elvina – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
As educational systems move from onsite to online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers face the difficulty of designing online examination formats which minimize opportunities for dishonesty. In this paper, we expose our design of such a format: a protected Microsoft Excel spreadsheet containing short-answer questions, which was implemented in a…

Duy M. Pham; Kirk P. Vanacore; Adam C. Sales; Johann A. Gagnon-Bartsch – Grantee Submission, 2024
Effective personalization of education requires knowing how each student will perform under certain conditions, given their specific characteristics. Thus, the demand for interpretable and precise estimation of heterogeneous treatment effects is ever-present. This paper outlines a new approach to this problem based on the Leave-One-Out Potential…

Laughlin Davis, Laurie; Morrison, Kristin; Zhou-Yile Schnieders, Joyce; Marsh, Benjamin – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2021
With the shift to next generation digital assessments, increased attention has focused on Technology-Enhanced Assessments and Items (TEIs). This study evaluated the feasibility of a high-fidelity digital assessment item response format, which allows students to solve mathematics questions on a tablet using a digital pen. This digital ink approach…

Lukumon, Gafari; Maharaj, Aneshkumar – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
The purpose of this study, conducted with 44 participants, was to explore their experiences of learning linear algebra using the online content and materials during COVID-19. The conceptual framework was guided by the notion of social presence and connectivisim in the context of remote learning. The study used a questionnaire comprising closed and…

Lowe, T. W.; Mestel, B. D. – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications, 2020
The development of six online quizzes to support students' study of an introductory mathematics masters module at The Open University is described and their use evaluated. The quizzes were implemented using the "STACK" online e-assessment system, which is powered by a computer-algebra engine. Evaluation of student feedback and an initial…

Matayoshi, Jeffrey; Uzun, Hasan; Cosyn, Eric – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
Knowledge space theory (KST) is a mathematical framework for modeling and assessing student knowledge. While KST has successfully served as the foundation of several learning systems, recent advancements in machine learning provide an opportunity to improve on purely KST-based approaches to assessing student knowledge. As such, in this work we…

Rafferty, Anna N.; Jansen, Rachel A.; Griffiths, Thomas L. – Cognitive Science, 2020
Online educational technologies offer opportunities for providing individualized feedback and detailed profiles of students' skills. Yet many technologies for mathematics education assess students based only on the correctness of either their final answers or responses to individual steps. In contrast, examining the choices students make for how…

Hedlefs-Aguilar, Maria Isolde; Morales-Martinez, Guadalupe Elizabeth; Villarreal-Lozano, Ricardo Jesus; Moreno-Rodriguez, Claudia; Gonzalez-Rodriguez, Erick Alejandro – European Journal of Educational Research, 2021
This study explored the cognitive mechanism behind information integration in the test anxiety judgments in 140 engineering students. An experiment was designed to test four factors combined (test goal orientation, test cognitive functioning level, test difficulty and test mode). The experimental task required participants to read 36 scenarios,…

Herbert, Katherine; Demskoi, Dmitry; Cullis, Kerrie – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2019
Formative assessment benefits both students and teaching academics. In particular, formative assessment in mathematics subjects enables both students and teaching academics to assess individual performance and understanding through students' responses. Over the last decade, educational technologies and learning management systems (LMSs) are used…

Gareis, Christopher R.; McMillan, James H.; Smucker, Amelie; Huang, Ke – Online Submission, 2021
The purpose of this study was to gauge the degree to which selected NWEA MAP Growth assessments are aligned to the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) and the extent to which MAP Growth reports can be used by school divisions to gauge student achievement relative to grade level and to identify learning gaps. The study was delimited to four MAP…

Küchemann, Stefan; Malone, Sarah; Edelsbrunner, Peter; Lichtenberger, Andreas; Stern, Elsbeth; Schumacher, Ralph; Brünken, Roland; Vaterlaus, Andreas; Kuhn, Jochen – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
Representational competence is essential for the acquisition of conceptual understanding in physics. It enables the interpretation of diagrams, graphs, and mathematical equations, and relating these to one another as well as to observations and experimental outcomes. In this study, we present the initial validation of a newly developed…

Crabtree, Ashleigh R. – ProQuest LLC, 2016
The purpose of this research is to provide information about the psychometric properties of technology-enhanced (TE) items and the effects these items have on the content validity of an assessment. Specifically, this research investigated the impact that the inclusion of TE items has on the construct of a mathematics test, the technical properties…

Sangwin, Christopher J.; Jones, Ian – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2017
In this paper we report the results of an experiment designed to test the hypothesis that when faced with a question involving the inverse direction of a reversible mathematical process, students solve a multiple-choice version by verifying the answers presented to them by the direct method, not by undertaking the actual inverse calculation.…
