Inga Laukaityte; Marie Wiberg – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2024
The overall aim was to examine effects of differences in group ability and features of the anchor test form on equating bias and the standard error of equating (SEE) using both real and simulated data. Chained kernel equating, Postratification kernel equating, and Circle-arc equating were studied. A college admissions test with four different…

Li, Ruoxi – Journal of Political Science Education, 2021
The statistical computing and graphics software R, despite its many advantages, is sometimes considered too complex to be introduced to undergraduate political science majors. In this article I showed that when taught appropriately, R could be a valuable and well-received aspect of an introductory research methods course. It is important to teach…

Tullis, Jonathan G.; Fiechter, Joshua L.; Benjamin, Aaron S. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Practice tests provide large mnemonic benefits over restudying, but learners judge practice tests as less effective than restudying. Consequently, learners infrequently utilize testing when controlling their study and often choose to be tested only on well-learned items. In 5 experiments, we examined whether learners' choices about testing and…

Macnamara, Brooke N.; Frank, David J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
For well over a century, scientists have investigated individual differences in performance. The majority of studies have focused on either differences in practice, or differences in cognitive resources. However, the predictive ability of either practice or cognitive resources varies considerably across tasks. We are the first to examine task…

Menekse, Muhsin – Journal of Experimental Education, 2020
This study addressed the role of the reflection-informed learning and instruction (RILI) model on students' academic success by using CourseMIRROR mobile system. We hypothesized that prompting students to reflect on confusing concepts stimulates their self-monitoring activities according to which students are expected to review their…

Blake, Thomas; Majumder, Sreenath; Deal, John; Hendryx, Matthew; Conrad, Karla – Journal of The First-Year Experience & Students in Transition, 2018
This study examines the impact of class difficulty on first-semester GPA, controlling for a number of precollege factors and the course load taken in the first semester. Although a large body of literature exists on the determinants of academic performance, class difficulty is often neglected in the literature. For this study, we created a new…

Smith, Tamarah; Smith, Samantha – International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, 2018
The Research Methods Skills Assessment (RMSA) was created to measure psychology majors' statistics knowledge and skills. The American Psychological Association's Guidelines for the Undergraduate Major in Psychology (APA, 2007, 2013) served as a framework for development. Results from a Rasch analysis with data from n = 330 undergraduates showed…

Skorinko, Jeanine Lee McHugh – Psychology Learning and Teaching, 2018
This paper describes a classroom demonstration that showcases how pre-existing beliefs (e.g., stereotypes) influence problem-solving. Across four studies, participants solved riddles with gender stereotype-consistent (e.g. doctor is male) or gender stereotype-inconsistent (e.g., doctor is female; barber is female) solutions. Solve time, perceived…

James, Terry – College Quarterly, 2018
The purpose is to improve insights and educational results by applying analytic methods. The focus is on the mathematics applied to learn from the kind of data available to most classes such as final examination marks or homework grades. The sample is 249 students learning introductory college statistics. The result is a predictive model for…

Lee, Seungyup; Baek, Jongsoo; Han, Gunhee – Interactive Learning Environments, 2018
Using a secondary device while viewing a primary device (i.e. TV), or media multitasking, is now common. Numerous researchers and practitioners have attempted to introduce secondary devices into education as a new learning environment providing additional information to the user. However, the learning-related effects of using a second screen…

Hoffmann, Janina A.; von Helversen, Bettina; Rieskamp, Jörg – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016
The distinction between similarity-based and rule-based strategies has instigated a large body of research in categorization and judgment. Within both domains, the task characteristics guiding strategy shifts are increasingly well documented. Across domains, past research has observed shifts from rule-based strategies in judgment to…

Alhaysony, Maha; Alhaisoni, Eid – Advances in Language and Literary Studies, 2017
This paper investigates grammatical difficulty from the perspective of Saudi university students, of EFL as well as from the perspective of university teachers. It aims to find out which English grammar features are more difficult/less difficult than others. Furthermore, it attempts to determine the reasons and causes that account for such grammar…

Forkosh, Jennifer; Drake, Jennifer E. – Art Therapy: Journal of the American Art Therapy Association, 2017
We examined whether using drawing to distract, by either coloring a design or drawing a design, improves mood more than drawing to express feelings. We manipulated levels of cognitive demand in the first 2 conditions by asking participants to color a design (low cognitive demand) or draw a design (high cognitive demand). After a sad mood…

Ogange, Betty Obura; Agak, John O.; Okelo, Kevin Odhiambo; Kiprotich, Peter – Open Praxis, 2018
Assessment is an integral part of the teaching-learning process in both conventional and distance education contexts. Literature suggests that with the increase in the use of Information and Communications Technology in the delivery of learning, a number of institutions are resorting to formative assessment practices that are mediated by…
