Byeon, Sangmin; Kim, Nayoung – Asia Pacific Education Review, 2020
As the 2015 revised national curriculum is being implementing in Korea, a teacher's assessment competency has become a point of focus for the potential enhancement of students' self-directed learning. Relevantly, a teacher's competency in student assessment is correlated to his/her individual feedback practices. Although students' self-directed…

Roschelle, Jeremy; Feng, Mingyu; Murphy, Robert F.; Mason, Craig A. – Grantee Submission, 2016
In a randomized field trial with 2,850 seventh-grade mathematics students, we evaluated whether an educational technology intervention increased mathematics learning. Assigning homework is common yet sometimes controversial. Building on prior research on formative assessment and adaptive teaching, we predicted that combining an online homework…

Schroeder, Larissa Bucchi; Dorn, Brian – PRIMUS, 2016
The increased use of videos in mathematics courses means that direct instruction, traditionally part of class lectures, now often occurs outside of the classroom. Although students come to class with some baseline level of understanding, instructors lose opportunities to assess students' understanding of content as it is seen for the first time.…

Feng, Mingyu; Roschelle, Jeremy; Heffernan, Neil; Fairman, Janet; Murphy, Robert – Grantee Submission, 2014
Much research has been done on the development of an intelligent tutoring system (ITS), and small empirical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of ITS at promoting student learning. However, large-scale implementation of ITS in school settings has not been researched thoroughly. In this paper, we describe an ongoing randomized controlled…
