Given the high prevalence of multiple-choice examinations with formula scoring in medical training, several studies have tried to identify other factors in addition to the degree of knowledge of students which influence their response patterns. This study aims to measure the effect of students' attitude towards risk and ambiguity on their number…

Emotional intelligence (EI) has a positive correlation with the academic performance of medical students. However, why there is a positive correlation needs further exploration. We hypothesized that the capability of answering higher-order knowledge questions (HOQs) is higher in students with higher EI. Hence, we assessed the correlation between…

In tertiary mathematics courses, students often have difficulties acquiring an understanding of the mathematical concepts covered. One approach to address this problem is to implement so-called Concept-Tests. These are multiple-choice questions whose distractors represent common problems and misconceptions related to the concepts. While there…

The study used phenomenology to examine teacher candidates' metaphorical perceptions for measurement and evaluation practices in distance education. 210 teacher candidates at a foundation university in Istanbul were included in the study group. Researchers collected data using a three-part form. The first part gathered demographic information, the…

Engaging students in creating high-quality novel content, such as educational resources, promotes deep and higher-order learning. However, students often lack the necessary training or knowledge to produce such content. To address this gap, this paper explores the potential of incorporating generative AI (GenAI) to review students' work and…

The aim of this study is to examine whether a preference for specific assessment methods in higher education is associated with personality and character strengths. Two-hundred and seventy Portuguese students completed a survey of character strengths, a Big Five personality test and their preference for each of six higher education assessment…

Background/purpose: The purposes of this research are to develop a reliable and valid assessment tool for measuring systems thinking skills in upper primary students in Thailand and to establish a normative criterion for evaluating their systems thinking abilities based on educational standards. Materials/methods: The study followed a three-phase…

? frequently used indicator to reflect student performance is that of a test score. However, although tests are designed to assess students' knowledge or skills, other factors can also affect test results such as test-taking strategies. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to model the interrelationships among test-taking strategy instruction…

This study addressed a gap in existing research on Multiple-Choice (MC) cloze tests by focusing on the learners' perspective, specifically examining the difficulties faced by vocational high school students (VHSs). A nationwide sample of 293 VHSs participated, providing both quantitative and qualitative data through a self-developed questionnaire.…

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of a research-based learning management plan microbiology and its impact on vocational education certificate students in the Animal Science department at Mahasarakham College of Agriculture and Technology. The research instruments included five research-based learning plans of microorganisms and…

Students' digital technology literacy is required to develop technology-based teaching skills as prospective teachers. Therefore, students' digital technology literacy profiles must be known as a basis for learning policies. This research aims to describe the digital technology literacy profile of students as prospective elementary school…

The aim of this study was to investigate if videos created by teaching staff had a positive impact on student learning of integrative physiological concepts. Eighteen undergraduate students enrolled on a sport and exercise science degree attended an introduction to immunology short course. All students were taught together and then split into two…

Assessing students' (mis)conceptions is a challenging task for teachers as well as for researchers. While individual assessment, for example through interviews, can provide deep insights into students' thinking, this is very time-consuming and therefore not feasible for whole classes or even larger settings. For those settings, automatically…

The Global Englishes Language Teaching (GELT) approach plays an essential role in English as a lingua franca. Previous GELT studies only examined the influence of Global English exposure on learners' attitudes in the Inner, Outer, and Expanding Circles. This study added explicit instruction on phonological features in addition to a variety of…

The study examined how mathematics self-concept, mathematics anxiety and endorsement of mathematics gender stereotypes may impact female students' response pattern in multiple-choice examinations in courses with mathematical content. Questionnaires measuring these three variables were completed by 435 undergraduates (327 enrolled in a…
