Hong, Eunsook; Part, Rachel; Rowel, Lonnie – Creativity Theory and Action in Education, 2017
Personal beliefs about a construct are formed based on individuals' experiences in sociocultural contexts. Personal beliefs are powerful as individuals tend to plan, take actions, and evaluate their own and others' actions based on their belief system. In this chapter, we review pervasive creativity myths, followed by an examination of teachers'…

Mansson, Daniel H. – College Student Journal, 2013
The purpose of higher education is to prepare students to be productive and successful members of society (Huba & Freed, 2000). However, an alarming number of graduates do not possess the skills (i.e., reading writing, and mathematical) required by their employers (Spellings Commission, 2006). Consequently, educators have become increasingly…

Herman, Geoffrey L.; Zilles, Craig; Loui, Michael C. – Computer Science Education, 2014
Concept inventories hold tremendous promise for promoting the rigorous evaluation of teaching methods that might remedy common student misconceptions and promote deep learning. The measurements from concept inventories can be trusted only if the concept inventories are evaluated both by expert feedback and statistical scrutiny (psychometric…

Taylor, Annette Kujawski; Kowalski, Patricia – Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2012
Misconceptions about psychology are prevalent among introductory students. Just how prevalent and what can be done to change these misconceptions depends on valid methods of assessment. The most common method of assessment, the true/false questionnaire, is problematic. The present study compared true/false with forced choice formats to determine…

Kyngdon, Andrew – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2011
Black, Wilson, and Yao (this issue) commendably attempt to put descriptive theory at the center of pedagogy, assessment, and curriculum. The thrust of their article is that only through theories of learning will student progression be properly understood. Casting a critical eye over the faddish distinction between "formative" and "summative"…

Haja, Shajahan; Clarke, David – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2011
The structure of two-tier testing is such that the first tier consists of a multiple-choice question and the second tier requires justifications for choices of answers made in the first tier. This study aims to evaluate two-tier tasks in "proportion" in terms of students' capacity to write and select justifications and to examine the effect of…

Clarkson, Philip C. – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1992
Reports a study to examine careless errors fifth-grade students (n=58) make while solving mathematical word problems and explores the type of student who frequently makes such errors. Results indicated that frequency of these errors was significantly related to the noncognitive variables of the study. Discusses implications for remediation. (20…
