Eirik Bjorheim Abrahamsen; Vegard Moen; Jon Tømmerås Selvik – Discover Education, 2024
All students at Norwegian universities and colleges have the right to complain about ordinary grading decisions. When an appeal is made, two new examiners are appointed, at least one of whom should be external.

Laura Schildt; Bart Deygers; Albert Weideman – Language Testing, 2024
In the context of policy-driven language testing for citizenship, a growing body of research examines the political justifications and ethical implications of language requirements and test use.

Pablo Bezem; Anne Piezunka; Rebecca Jacobsen – Leadership and Policy in Schools, 2024
In an era of test-based accountability, school inspections can offer a more nuanced understanding of why schools fail.

Analyzing inspectors' decision-making can reveal the underlying views regarding school accountability and open opportunities for school…

Gill, Tim – Research Matters, 2022
In Comparative Judgement (CJ) exercises, examiners are asked to look at a selection of candidate scripts (with marks removed) and order them in terms of which they believe display the best quality. By including scripts from different examination sessions, the results of these exercises can be used to help with maintaining standards. Results from…

Yuichiro Yokouchi – Language Testing in Asia, 2025
The performance decision tree (PDT; Fulcher et al., 2011) is a rubric style that is applicable to performance assessment, with origins in Upshur and Turner's (1995) empirically derived binary-choice, boundary-definition (EBB) scale. It is easier for raters to assess performance by evaluating multiple binary-choice descriptors. Additionally,…

Kettil Nordesjö – American Journal of Evaluation, 2024
The relationship between "stability" and "change" is a central paradox of administration that pervades all forms of organizing.

Savard, Isabelle; Côté, Luc; Kadhi, Abdelhamid; Simard, Caroline; Rheault, Christian; Lacasse, Miriam – Research and Practice in Technology Enhanced Learning, 2022
In recent decades, a number of training environments have moved toward program approaches targeting the development of competencies. Because of their complexity, monitoring the development of those competencies is a considerable challenge. Our hypothesis is that a computerized system could help overcome this challenge if it is well accepted by its…

Lloyd-Cox, James; Pickering, Alan; Bhattacharya, Joydeep – Creativity Research Journal, 2022
According to the standard definition, creative ideas must be both novel and useful.

It is a sport branch that is tactically reminiscent of chess, and technically reminiscent of bowling (Yilmaz, 2018). In this study, it is aimed to research the relationship between curling referees' state and trait…
