Recent research has provided evidence that performance change during a student's test event can indicate the presence of test-taking disengagement. Meaningful performance change implies that some portions of the test event reflect assumed maximum performance better than others and, because disengagement tends to diminish performance,…

Background: Video conferencing technology has moved online education into a new stage of real-time video interaction. However, shortcomings such as students' lack of concentration and substantive engagement during video conferencing greatly limit the improvement of online learning effectiveness. According to social presence theory and the…

Rising tuition rates across colleges and universities contribute to the mounting financial strain on students. In response to rising costs, literature details that students seek to bolster their financial security by working additional hours per week, consequently leading to less available time. Previous studies have focused on the negative…

Objective: This study examined the effects of offering proactive student-success coaching, informed by predictive analytics, on student academic performance and persistence. Specifically, this study investigated semester grade point average (GPA) and semester-to-semester persistence of community college students as outcomes. Methods: This study…

Considerable attention has been given to methods for knowledge estimation, a category of methods for automatic assessment of a student's degree of skill mastery or knowledge at a specific time. Knowledge estimation is frequently used to make decisions about when a student has reached mastery and is ready to advance to new material, but there has…

The purpose of this investigation was to determine if attending a face-to-face midterm exam review with the instructor predicts final exam performance in an Anatomy and Physiology I course. Students were invited to attend office hours in small groups to review their midterm exams. Multiple linear regression was used to test whether attendance at…

In a pair of studies, the present research examined mindfulness as a mediator through which perceived support for the basic psychological needs of autonomy and competence facilitate adaptive outcomes in a university classroom setting. In Study 1 (N = 199), dispositional mindfulness mediated the relation between perceived support for autonomy and…

Undergraduate students' performance has been extensively studied to identify the critical components in effective teaching and learning pedagogies. This study aims to determine whether the teachers' practices and implementation of Classroom Assessment Techniques (CAT) enhanced students' performance in Accounting Principles' courses and assess…

The purpose of the study on which this paper is based was to conduct a performance evaluation of student learning for an introductory course in project management in a higher educational institution in Norway. This was done by utilizing performance measurement philosophy to evaluate perceived student learning after a project-based assignment was…

This mixed methods study examined the effects of requiring students with special needs to take the same assessment as their same-aged peers. A significant difference in student performance on End-of-Course (EOC) exams was found at the state and local level when comparing students with special needs to students without special needs. Students with…

This article explores an approach to tracking student progress in GCSE courses that yields useful diagnostic information. As well as obtaining an overall score, teachers can learn more about some of the generic characteristics that affect performance.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of internal and external focus of attention on novices' rehearsal evaluations. Thirty-two undergraduate instrumental music education students led bands in a series of three 6-minute rehearsals on their assigned excerpt. Prior to these rehearsals, participants were led in score study and…

Knowing assessment practices of teachers and improving in this direction is important in increasing students' learning and demonstrating their performance. In this research, the aim was to identify the classroom assessment practices used by primary, secondary and high school teachers. Survey and observation form were used to collect the data for…

This study discusses the development of a basic electronics knowledge (BEK) assessment as a pretest activity for undergraduate students in engineering and related fields. The 28 BEK items represent 12 key concepts, including properties of serial circuits, knowledge of electrical laws (e.g., Kirchhoff 's and Ohm's laws), and properties of digital…

Doctoral examiners judge the quality of a thesis and give the student assessment feedback if the student fails to reach certain goals. This paper investigates if and how examiners take on the evaluator or teaching role. We analysed doctoral examination reports from three disciplines. Most examiners provided assessment and feedback, but this often…
