This scoping review addresses the limited scopes of current research on classroom assessment in university mathematics education (UME). We examine 67 empirical studies (2012-2024) from two crucial but ignored aspects: assessment purposes and theoretical foundations. Our key findings reveal (1) significant geographic disparities reflecting the…

How can quality assurance agencies become active drivers of evidence-informed policy and practice? Drawing on new data from the OECD's 2023 Survey of Knowledge Mobilisation in Education and international research, this paper offers considerations and inspiring examples on how to strengthen the role of quality assurance agencies in knowledge…

Background/Context: Theoretical and policy frameworks consistently assert that warm, responsive, and cognitively rich teacher-child interactions are crucial for infants' and toddlers' learning and development (Burchinal, 2018; Pianta & Hamre, 2009). In Early Head Start (EHS), such "process quality" is expected to bolster children's…

This paper explores the utility of online-based instruction from Jordanian EFL teachers' perceptions on "Darsak Platform" during the COVID-19 pandemic on five domains: the logistic and technical support, the content, the teaching and assessment strategies, and the utility of the online instruction for both students and parents. The study…

Problem solving is at the heart of mathematics, and is known to support learning for a diverse range of children. However, challenges can be encountered when teaching mathematics through problem solving. This article provides insights from research literature into: (1) the nature of the challenges; and (2) some ways that problem solving can be…

This article provides an overview of the instructional activity implemented to introduce the authors' first-grade students to the concept of measuring, collecting, and recording temperature data as part of a unit on weather. The activities introduced involved approximately one week of instructional time. However, the application of the skill…

The emergence of 21st-century skills convinced educational institutions in modifying teaching styles, which lead to the introduction of blended, flipped, and personalized learning. Studies demonstrated present-day best practices, but none provided a practical assessment procedure. Thus, this study aimed to develop a tool in evaluating learning…

"Multimodal Signs of Learning" proposes a methodology to uncover evidence of learning in students' multimodal compositions. Informed by social semiotic theory, the book tracks representation of subject content from physical and embodied teaching resources to students' handmade artefacts and physical presentations. Using materials from…

All educators engage in formative assessment; however, to ensure educators are fostering equity in how diverse learners experience learning, the assessment toolkit needs to be expanded. Science education, like all other aspects of society today, has persistent issues of inequity rooted in issues of anti-Blackness, colonialism, and racism; however,…

Evaluation of research performance has significantly increased in importance, particularly in many emerging higher education systems. In Malaysia, the Malaysian Research Assessment (MyRA) was developed to evaluate the research performance of universities and Research Centres of Excellence (RCoEs). This paper reports on a participatory action…

In recent years, online learning has become more and more popular. However, because of information overload, learners often find it difficult to retrieve suitable learning resources. Although many scholars have proposed excellent online learning resource recommendation algorithms, the accuracy of personalized recommendation results still needs to…

This article develops an analytical framework for analysing college (tertiary) statistics textbooks in terms of text accessibility by integrating the text, the reader, and the content into the framework. Five accessibility attributes of science texts were adapted to conceptualize the accessibility of statistics texts. For each accessibility…

Functional assessments, while considered the "gold standard" for behavioral assessments, are not often implemented in school settings due the extensive amount of time, resources, and expertise required. The interview-informed synthesized contingency analysis (IISCA), is a timely, comprehensive, and accurate method for conducting such…

This article focuses on the results of an investigation about the "traffic light" method in kindergarten, which is used as a self-assessment method, a strategy by which the preschoolers evaluate their own progress in achieving the learning objectives, and the teacher obtains an immediate feedback regarding the level of understanding of…

Assessment instruments are critical to assist in the selection and development of strong, effective leaders. Developing a strong understanding of what makes a tool empirically sound, based on solid scientific concepts, can mean the difference between choosing an assessment that provides targeted, actionable, and accurate information versus an…
