Across traditional lab-based science subjects, including biological sciences, most learning is discipline-specific and focused on developing scientific skills and knowledge. However, graduate employers are increasingly demanding that employees have additional skills, including the ability to recognise their own strengths and limitations, a skill…

This paper addresses the influence of ethnic and gender disparities on educational outcomes and recognizes the significance of maternal education in shaping students' academic achievements. The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of policies aimed at integrating maternal involvement in education among 15-year-old students from OECD countries.…

The developments in artificial intelligence (AI) have significantly transformed second language (L2) learning and assessment, and the role of AI technologies in L2 assessment have been investigated in recent research. This study presents a bibliosystematic analysis of AI-assisted L2 assessment. Using both systematic analysis and bibliometric…

Background/Context: Public monitoring of educational progress and inequality often involves tracking changes in the percentage of "proficient" students across groups and over time. These trends are important signals of state and district provision of educational opportunity. I show how known flaws of this percentage metric, sometimes…

The rise of machine translation demands a fundamental shift in both translators' roles and educational approaches. However, translation education research and practice have struggled to keep pace with the latest developments. To bridge the pedagogical gap, this study conceptualises machine translation literacy within the context of translation…

Standardised cross-national learning assessments may help drive education policy change and system improvements across Africa but support is required to overcome operational and technical challenges. This recognition has led to sustained technical and geographical development of regional assessments like those from PASEC, the Program for the…

This research analyses the relationships between technological integration, assessment strategies, collaborative learning, and digital literacy in early childhood education. Early childhood education is a crucial phase for building lifelong learning foundations. Technology is needed to enhance student engagement and help children develop essential…

Due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the importance of telehealth has rapidly increased, in particular as many in-person clinics have closed. Early intervention is crucial for improving outcomes in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). As such, the need for timely assessments and diagnoses remains despite…

This phenomenological qualitative study explored how eight speech-language pathology specialists in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) (who self-identified as adult-focused) would approach the AAC assessment process when presented with a case study of an adult with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The general research questions…

Reliably diagnosing autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in adulthood poses a challenge to clinicians due to the absence of specific diagnostic markers. This study investigated the potential of interpersonal synchrony (IPS), which has been found to be reduced in ASD, to augment the diagnostic process. IPS was objectively assessed in videos…

Advances in information and communication technologies have contributed to the increasing use of virtual learning environments as support tools in teaching and learning processes. Virtual platforms generate a large volume of educational data, and the analysis of this data allows useful information discoveries to improve learning and assist…

Purpose: The purpose of this review article was to (a) scope the literature related to coaching caregivers of children with autism to provide an overview of current practices for assessment and intervention conducted via telepractice in collaboration with caregivers and (b) examine commonly reported challenges related to telepractice and potential…

Anxiety and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) commonly co-occur, but school-based assessment practices surrounding identification of co-occurring presentations are not well understood. This study examined school psychologists' assessment practices for anxiety in students with ASD, perceptions of their role in the assessment process, and perceived…

Developing student competence relevant to real-world practice has been a persistent challenge in tertiary education. Organisational psychologists use assessment centres in industry to measure job-relevant competencies of employees or job-candidates to facilitate accurate recruitment or development decisions. Despite its potential as an innovative…

This study examines the creation and implementation of a video-based assessment of teacher knowledge of effective teaching called the Video Assessment of Teacher Knowledge (VATK). The VATK was developed with the intention of creating an easily administered, standardised assessment that can potentially provide information on teacher candidate…
