Rubrics play a crucial role in shaping educational assessment, providing clear criteria for both teaching and learning. The advent of online rubric platforms has the potential to significantly enhance the effectiveness of rubrics in educational contexts, offering innovative features for assessment and feedback through the creation of erubrics.…

In the rapidly evolving landscape of higher education, the clarity, measurability, and alignment of course objectives are more critical than ever. Effective course design hinges on well-defined learning objectives that guide both instruction and assessment. However, creating these objectives can be a daunting task for faculty, especially when…

In recent years, there has been a rise in recognition of the need for computing education to bridge the gap between academia and industry. In addition, educational researchers are also interested in increasing student engagement by grounding learning experiences in real-life concerns, community issues, or personal interests. Unfortunately,…

Artificial intelligence (AI) literacy has emerged to equip students with digital skills for effective evaluation, communication, collaboration, and ethical use of AI in online, home, and workplace settings. Countries are increasingly developing AI curricula to support students' technological skills for future studies and careers. However, there is…

The assessment of student responses to learning-strategy prompts, such as self-explanation, summarization, and paraphrasing, is essential for evaluating cognitive engagement and comprehension. However, manual scoring is resource-intensive, limiting its scalability in educational settings. This study investigates the use of Large Language Models…

Conventional approaches to assessment involve teachers and examiners judging the quality of learners work by reference to lists of criteria or other 'outcome' statements. This paper explores a quite different method of assessment using 'Adaptive Comparative Judgement' (ACJ) that was developed within a research project at Goldsmiths University of…

This article introduces generalizability theory (G-theory) to institutional research and assessment practitioners, and explains how it can be utilized to evaluate the reliability of assessment procedures in order to improve student learning outcomes. The fundamental concepts associated with G-theory are briefly discussed, followed by a discussion…

This paper reports a 6-year experience teaching building information modeling (BIM) methodology in the undergraduate/graduate architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) program at the Pontificia Universidade Catolica do Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio), Brazil. This work is part of the long-term goal of developing a new BIM AEC-based curriculum…

The Colleague AI platform introduces a groundbreaking Rubric Generation function designed to streamline how educators create and use rubrics for instructional and assessment purposes. This feature uses artificial intelligence (AI) to produce standards-based rubrics tailored to course content for formative and summative evaluations. By automating…

The challenges experienced by schools as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic led to numerous changes and forced teachers to rethink the way teachers use technology, both to communicate with students and to support their mathematics learning. To illustrate these changes in curriculum, teaching, and assessment, the author uses the topic of rational…

This chapter investigates the dual role of Generative AI (GenAI) in providing support and feedback to students and in reshaping formative and summative educational assessments, addressing both the burgeoning opportunities for enhancing teaching methodologies and the associated ethical challenges. There is a focus on the necessity for balanced…

The aim of this study is to examine the intercultural sensitivity levels of teacher candidates using CART analysis and to develop a predictive model using machine learning algorithms. Additionally, this study provides a framework for understanding the relationship between internet usage and intercultural sensitivity. The participants comprised 416…

In the coming years, the proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) will lead to changes and challenges to many traditional practices in school music and beyond, particularly related to student assessment and grading. At the same time, the AI revolution may also facilitate new and exciting directions for assessment and differentiation in music…

Promoting creativity is considered an important goal of education, but creativity is notoriously hard to define and measure. In this paper, we make the journey from defining a formal creativity and applying the measure in a practical domain. The measure relies on core theoretical concepts in creativity theory, namely fluency, flexibility, and…
