Ashlea Laveen Wilson – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The purpose of this study was to examine the digital literacy of Gen Z employees in higher education and provide implications for HRD research and practice and contribute to the HRD literature on Gen Z employees in the 21st century workforce. Three research questions guided my study: How do Gen Z employees in higher education experience digital…

Zulfa; Nusi, Ahmad; Ananda, Azwar; Efi, Agusti; Pernantah, Piki Setri – International Journal of Instruction, 2022
This study aims to find a simulation project-based learning model for the Minangkabau Natural Culture subject in higher education. This research method uses the research and development (R and D) development procedure using the Plomp development design that goes through 3 steps, namely: Preliminary Research, Prototyping Phase, and Assessment…

Sellberg, Charlott; Lundin, Mona; Säljö, Roger – Classroom Discourse, 2022
The background of this article is an interest in analysing how assessment of professional skills is conducted in higher education contexts, drawing on video data from a course on maritime navigation. The empirical study focuses on a) how students working in a bridge simulator are able to display their knowledge about how to calculate the relation…

Tummons, Jonathan – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2020
Within professional higher education, the construct of assessment validity is used to make assumptions about the extent to which students are able to replicate in professional practice what they have learned during their studies through the provision of authentic simulated opportunities to practice. Drawing on the work of Bruno Latour, this…

Hauze, Sean; Marshall, James – International Journal on E-Learning, 2020
Motivation to learn is an important component of education, particularly in the field of educational technology in which the instructor's physical presence is increasingly absent. The complexity of the many factors that contribute to student motivation renders this domain difficult to measure. The Instructional Materials Motivation Survey (IMMS)…

Gu, X.; Blackmore, K. L. – Higher Education Research and Development, 2015
This paper presents the results of a systematic review of agent-based modelling and simulation (ABMS) applications in the higher education (HE) domain. Agent-based modelling is a "bottom-up" modelling paradigm in which system-level behaviour (macro) is modelled through the behaviour of individual local-level agent interactions (micro).…

Lievens, Filip; Patterson, Fiona – Journal of Applied Psychology, 2011
In high-stakes selection among candidates with considerable domain-specific knowledge and experience, investigations of whether high-fidelity simulations (assessment centers; ACs) have incremental validity over low-fidelity simulations (situational judgment tests; SJTs) are lacking. Therefore, this article integrates research on the validity of…

Kiili, Kristian; Lainema, Timo – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2008
This study is part of an ongoing attempt to develop a usable and valid scale for assessing the flow experience in educational games. The purpose of the paper is to operationalize the dimensions of flow experience in an educational game context and to test a constructed GameFlow questionnaire. Furthermore, the study strives to validate flow…

Maiti, Alakes; Patra, Bibek; Samanta, G. P. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2008
The present article deals with the problem of combined harvesting of a Michaelis-Menten-type ratio-dependent predator-prey system. The problem of determining the optimal harvest policy is solved by invoking Pontryagin's Maximum Principle. Dynamic optimization of the harvest policy is studied by taking the combined harvest effort as a dynamic…

Kulick, George; Wright, Ronald – International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2008
Grading on the curve is a common practice in higher education. While there are many critics of the practice it still finds wide spread acceptance particularly in science classes. Advocates believe that in large classes student ability is likely to be normally distributed. If test scores are also normally distributed instructors and students tend…

Norman, G. R. – 1984
The use of healthy individuals acting as simulated patients for the purpose of clinical teaching is discussed. The term "standardized patients" is used to refer to training the individual to present a standard, repeatable stimulus. Some evidence suggests that simulated patients possess high fidelity (i.e., closely approximate real…

Schiel, Jeff L.; King, Jason E. – 1999
Analyses of data from operational course placement systems are subject to the effects of truncation; students with low placement test scores may enroll in a remedial course, rather than a standard-level course, and therefore will not have outcome data from the standard course. In "soft" truncation, some (but not all) students who score…

Lamb, David G.; And Others – Psychological Assessment, 1994
The impact of detailed information on closed head injury (CHI) and Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) validity scales on malingering psychological symptoms of CHI on the MMPI-2 was studied in an analog experiment with 270 undergraduates. Results suggest the impact of such coaching on simulation of CHI. (SLD)
