Maria Fahlgren; Alice Barana; Mats Brunström; Marina Marchisio Conte; Fabio Roman; Matteo Sacchet; Mirela Vinerean; Yosief Wondmagegne – International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 2024
In recent decades, there has been rapid development in digital technologies for automated assessment. Through enhanced possibilities in terms of algorithms, grading codes, adaptivity, and feedback, they are suitable for formative assessment. There is a need to develop computer-aided assessment (CAA) tasks that target higher-order mathematical…

Alarcón López, Cristina; Decuypere, Mathias; Dey, Joyeeta; Gorur, Radhika; Hamilton, Mary; Lundahl, Christian; Sundström Sjödin, Elin – European Educational Research Journal, 2021
In this paper, we explore the improvisations made in examination practices in higher education during the pandemic of 2020. Drawing on STS, we start from the theoretical assumption that examinations constitute an obligatory passage point in universities and colleges: a sacred point which students need to pass if they want to gain recognized…

Hakelind, Camilla; Sundström, Anna E. – Psychology Learning and Teaching, 2022
Finding valid and reliable ways to assess complex clinical skills within psychology is a challenge. Recently, there have been some examples of applying Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) in psychology for making such assessments. The aim of this study was to examine students' and examiners' perceptions of a digital OSCE in…

Lundgren, Erik; Eklöf, Hanna – Educational Research and Evaluation, 2020
The present study used process data from a computer-based problem-solving task as indications of behavioural level of test-taking effort, and explored how behavioural item-level effort related to overall test performance and self-reported effort. Variables were extracted from raw process data and clustered. Four distinct clusters were obtained and…

Costa, Denise Reis; Chen, Chia-Wen – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2023
Given the ongoing development of computer-based tasks, there has been increasing interest in modelling students' behaviour indicators from log file data with contextual variables collected via questionnaires. In this work, we apply a latent regression model to analyse the relationship between latent constructs (i.e., performance, speed, and…

Hassler Hallstedt, Martin; Ghaderi, Ata – Educational Assessment, 2018
Tablets can be used to facilitate systematic testing of academic skills. Yet, when using validated paper tests on tablet, comparability between the mediums must be established. Comparability between a tablet and a paper version of a basic math skills test (HRT: Heidelberger Rechen Test 1-4) was investigated. Five samples with second and third…

Nygren, Thomas; Guath, Mona – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2018
In this study we investigate the abilities to determine credibility of digital news among 532 teenagers. Using an online test we assess to what extent teenagers are able to determine the credibility of different sources, evaluate credible and biased uses of evidence, and corroborate information. Many respondents fail to identify the credibility of…

Owen, Nathaniel; Shrestha, Prithvi N.; Hultgren, Anna Kristina – ETS Research Report Series, 2021
This project examined academic reading in two contrasting English as a medium of instruction (EMI) university settings in Nepal and Sweden and the unique challenges facing students who are studying in a language other than their primary language. The motivation for the project was to explore the role of high-stakes testing in EMI contexts and the…

Makransky, Guido; Glas, Cees A. W. – International Journal of Testing, 2013
Cognitive ability tests are widely used in organizations around the world because they have high predictive validity in selection contexts. Although these tests typically measure several subdomains, testing is usually carried out for a single subdomain at a time. This can be ineffective when the subdomains assessed are highly correlated. This…
