The insertion of Machine Learning (ML) in everyday life demonstrates the importance of popularizing an understanding of ML already in school. Accompanying this trend arises the need to assess the students' learning. Yet, so far, few assessments have been proposed, most lacking an evaluation. Therefore, we evaluate the reliability and validity of…

Human raters' assessment of interpreting is a complex process. Previous researchers have mainly relied on verbal reports to examine this process. To advance our understanding, we conducted an empirical study, collecting raters' eye-movement and retrospection data in a computerised interpreting assessment in which three groups of raters (n = 35)…

This study was conducted to review the use of tests. For this purpose, 45 articles in which the Turkish form of the "Test Anxiety Inventory (TAI)," which is one of the tests frequently used in the field of education, was employed and that were published between 2000 and 2020 were examined in terms of factors that should be considered in…

Mathematics modelling is a vital competency for students of all ages. In this study, we aim to fill the research gap about valid and reliable tools for assessing and grading mathematical modeling problems, particularly those reflecting multiple steps of the modelling cycle. We present in this paper the design of a reliable and valid assessment…

Over the past decade, self-assessment tools have garnered significant attention in the interest of measuring the skillset required by educators and students to function productively and ethically in digitally mediated environments, particularly in relation to education policy implementation. Since stated beliefs do not always align with actual…

This study aimed to develop an analytical rubric for teachers to observe and evaluate students' performance in showcasing the cooperative problem-solving process. Thus, a rubric was prepared. Angles to evaluate the student performance were included and a quad rank scale was used in the rubric. Dimensions used in the rubric were based on the PISA…

Writing rubrics have been used in doctoral dissertations in Turkey to assess student writing for nearly twenty years. This study aims to determine which features are assessed in the rubrics used in doctoral dissertations. Twenty-five rubrics were selected to determine the analysis of validity and reliability, rubric dimensions, features of…

In the virtual laboratory learning process, students' scientific abilities in solving a problem are very important to explore. This study aims to develop classroom-based authentic assessment instruments through virtual laboratory learning in chemistry to see an increase in students' scientific performance. The research was conducted at a public…

Inference is considered an important factor in comprehension models and has been described as a causal factor in predicting comprehension. To date, specific tests for inference are rare and often rely on specific thematic texts. This reliance on thematic inference may raise some concerns as inference is related to prior text-specific knowledge.…

The increasing emphasis on a competency-based learning approach in entrepreneurial-STEM (E-STEM) necessitates competency-based assessment tools to track students' entrepreneurial development and enhance the quality of E-STEM projects. This study aims to create a valid analytical rubric for assessing students' E-STEM competencies. Using a…

It is very important for each individual to have a good emotional control in human well-being. In children level, they can manage their lives in a more orderly and harmonious if they have a good level of emotional intelligence (EI). However, in previous studies, there is no specific rubric developed to assess children EI. Therefore, the purpose of…

The aim of this study is to develop a rubric to assess mathematical reasoning competence. Since the aim is to assess a competency, the frameworks of the PISA exams in the literature, which give an important place to competencies, have been examined. Due to its focus and in-depth analysis of mathematical reasoning, each of the actions expected from…

In the current study, two pools of 250 essays, all written as a response to the same prompt, were rated by two groups of raters (14 or 15 raters per group), thereby providing an approximation to the essay's true score. An automated essay scoring (AES) system was trained on the datasets and then scored the essays using a cross-validation scheme. By…

Objective Structured Teaching Exercises (OSTEs) are used to evaluate feedback skills. OSTEs are simulated teaching scenarios using standardized learners and trained facilitators to deliver immediate feedback to participants. As per researchers' limited knowledge, there is no published assessment tool to assess the feedback skills using OSTE in…

Groupwork is a crucial aspect of work contexts and a key twenty first century skill. Assessment of groupwork provides a persistent challenge for educators in university contexts with students reporting experiences of unfairness from their peers during groupwork. This study developed a novel Peer Assessment Fairness Instrument to explore factors…
