Mike Perkins; Jasper Roe; Binh H. Vu; Darius Postma; Don Hickerson; James McGaughran; Huy Q. Khuat – International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education, 2024
This study investigates the efficacy of six major Generative AI (GenAI) text detectors when confronted with machine-generated content modified to evade detection (n = 805). We compare these detectors to assess their reliability in identifying AI-generated text in educational settings, where they are increasingly used to address academic integrity…

Mayo Beltrán, Alba Mª; Fernández Sánchez, María Jesús; Montanero Fernández, Manuel; Martín Parejo, David – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2022
This study compares the effects of two resources, a paper rubric (CR) or the comment bubbles from a word processor (CCB), to support peer co-evaluation of expository texts in primary education. A total of 57 students wrote a text which, after a peer co-evaluation process, was rewritten. To analyze the improvements in the texts, we used a rubric…

Mogey, Nora; Paterson, Jessie; Burk, John; Purcell, Michael – ALT-J: Research in Learning Technology, 2010
Students at the University of Edinburgh do almost all their work on computers, but at the end of the semester they are examined by handwritten essays. Intuitively it would be appealing to allow students the choice of handwriting or typing, but this raises a concern that perhaps this might not be "fair"--that the choice a student makes,…

Alberta Dept. of Education, Edmonton. – 1984
This guide provides a detailed evaluation form, together with complete instructions for using it, which is designed to elicit answers to the following questions: (1) What features and abilities does a specific word processing program have? (2) On which computer(s) will the program work? (3) Is additional hardware/software necessary before the…

Gray, Peter J. – 1984
Designed to provide guidance in selecting the appropriate microcomputer-based word processing program, this document discusses the key characteristics of word processing software, including formatting, editing, merging, and printing. Possible capabilities of word processing features are identified, i.e., indent, tab, center, creation of footnotes,…

Jacobs, Ronald L.; Aron, Robert D. – 1987
As educators become more interested in the use of qualitative methods, a major concern is the management of the large amounts of textual data during analysis. The efficiency and possibly the effectiveness of manual systems, i.e., color-coded index cards and wall-mounted systems, are reduced as the amount of textual data increases. An emerging…

Smith, David; Keep, Rosslyn – Educational Research, 1986
Children aged 6 to 14 years in 10 schools in southern England were interviewed to determine the criteria that children use to evaluate educational and other software. Data suggest that the children were mature and sophisticated in their judgments. Their evaluative criteria derived from the standards of mass consumer electronics (home computer…

Rushinek, Avi; Rushinek, Sara – Office Systems Research Journal, 1984
Describes results of a system rating study in which users responded to WPS (word processing software) questions. Study objectives were data collection and evaluation of variables; statistical quantification of WPS's contribution (along with other variables) to user satisfaction; design of an expert system to evaluate WPS; and database update and…

Gray, Peter J. – 1984
The potential uses of microcomputers in evaluation research are discussed in this pamphlet. At the beginning, a matrix is provided showing the relationship between the steps in the evaluation research process and common types of computer software. Thereafter, the guide is organized sequentially around the evaluation research activities that are…

Parker, D. Randall – 1996
The application of computer technology in qualitative research and evaluation ranges from simple word processing to doing sophisticated data sorting and retrieval. How computer software can be used for qualitative research is discussed. Researchers should consider the use of computers in data analysis in light of their own familiarity and comfort…

Jarrell, Michele G.; Hebbler, Stephen W. – 1992
Preparing the final report for an evaluation project often involves preparation of lengthy tables. To prevent persons from having to retype the data already in a mainframe file and then verify the data, the Evaluation and Assessment Laboratory of the University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa) uses a simple procedure that entails: (1) formatting the output…

Gray, Peter J.; Deck, Dennis – 1983
This report includes a collection of workshop materials which address ways microcomputers can be used in evaluation and assessment and what basic information should be covered in introducing newcomers to the use of microcomputers. It is designed for use by experienced trainers with microcomputer experience but with few workshop support materials.…

Gnach, Aleksandra; Wiesner, Esther; Bertschi-Kaufmann, Andrea; Perrin, Daniel – Research in Comparative and International Education, 2007
Children and young people are increasingly performing a variety of writing tasks using computers, with word processing programs thus becoming their natural writing environment. The development of keystroke logging programs enables us to track the process of writing, without changing the writing environment for the writers. In the myMoment schools…
