This paper reviews 38 studies conducted between 2015 and 2022 on collaborative assessments in open-distance and e-learning (ODeL) contexts, focusing on the benefits, types, challenges, and strategies to improve collaborative assessments. This qualitative review aims to investigate collaborative assessments within the ODeL comprehensively. The…

Gifted students are future leaders in society. In order to support and encourage them, it's important to have a thorough understanding of the nature of giftedness and the perceptions, and anticipations of gifted students. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the perceptions and anticipations of 6th-grade gifted students about…

Automated essay scoring (AES), where natural language processing is applied to score written text, can underpin educational resources in blended and distance learning. AES performance has typically been reported in terms of correlation coefficients or agreement statistics calculated between a system and an expert human examiner. We describe the…

To base teaching on student thinking requires analyzing and interpreting students' thinking, key components of the construct of professional noticing (e.g., Jacobs et al., 2010). Although substantial research has been conducted using this construct, less attention has been paid to teachers' evaluations of student work based on these analyses and…

Assessment is a topic of concern to all stakeholders in our educational system. Pattern Based Questions are an assessment tool which is an alternative to the standardized assessment tool, and they are based on generative learning pedagogy, which shows promise in engaging all learners and usefulness in teaching and learning but validity has not yet…

Learning needs to be well planned so that it can take place in accordance with the objectives to be achieved. This planning can be poured into the learning implementation plan (RPP) prepared by the teacher. Therefore, this study aims to describe the competence of prospective chemistry teacher students to prepare lesson plans using a scientific…

Open-ended questions in mathematics are commonly used by teachers to monitor and assess students' deeper conceptual understanding of content. Student answers to these types of questions often exhibit a combination of language, drawn diagrams and tables, and mathematical formulas and expressions that supply teachers with insight into the processes…

Engagement can be described as students' tendency to work productively, think deeply, enjoy and value their learning, and to support each other in the process of learning (ZDM article). Each of these dimensions can be indexed by a variety of psychologically validated constructs such as interest and enjoyment, self-regulation, effort, emotional…

Developing models and using mathematics are two key practices in internationally recognized science education standards such as the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS, 2013). In this paper, we used a virtual performance-based formative assessment to capture students' competencies at both "developing" and "evaluating"…

Today, talking about educational planning generates a certain vital importance for the achievement of the goals and objectives previously established, as well as the definition of the steps and means necessary to carry out this process. However, we cannot talk about planning without addressing the assessment process as an essential element to…

Following the teaching of a unit on mass measurement to 274 children (6 to 8 years of age), each of 13 classroom teachers administered an open-ended assessment task. Children represented their perceived knowledge of mass measurement in response to an "Impress Me" prompt. Drawn and written recordings were complex and multi-dimensional,…

The process of assessing students is a fundamental part of teaching and learning mathematics. The assessment practices a teacher chooses are shaped by their values while also being shaped by the context of the school, district, state, and country where the teaching takes place. This can result in gaps between teachers' values and practices. In…

This study focused on teacher responses during COVID-19 in the 2020-2021 academic year about homework assignments, their preparedness, internet use, resources used, measurement and evaluation methods. The study is qualitative using content analysis and the N-Vivo program. Ten teachers in different types of high schools in different socio-economic…

Non-cognitive skills are routinely measured using self-reports in the context of large-scale international assessments. However questions remain on the adequacy of self-reports to conduct comparisons. Measures that exploit test-taker's behaviour during the completion of questionnaires or of the cognitive tests have been proposed in the literature…

Knowledge components (KCs) have many applications. In computing education, knowing the demonstration of specific KCs has been challenging. This paper introduces an entirely data-driven approach for: (1) discovering KCs; and (2) demonstrating KCs, using students' actual code submissions. Our system is based on two expected properties of KCs: (1)…
