Creativity assessments should be valid, reliable, and scalable to support various stakeholders (e.g., policy-makers, educators, corporations, and the general public) in their decision-making processes. Established initiatives toward scalable creativity assessments have relied on well-studied standardized tests. Although robust in many ways, most…

Teachers need ways to efficiently assess students' cognitive understanding. One promising approach involves easily adapted and administered item types that yield quantitative scores that can be interpreted in terms of whether or not students likely possess key understandings. This study illustrates an approach to analyzing response process…

Assessments are one of the most important--and often misunderstood--elements of education. In most cases, tests are administered by the state as well as by districts and schools. Assessments at each of these levels have distinct purposes, yield different information, and are part of a powerful, coordinated approach to improving student outcomes.…

Planning intervention for narrative comprehension deficits requires a thorough understanding of a child's skill in all component domains. The purpose of this study was to examine the validity of three methods of measuring pre-readers' event knowledge, an important predictor of story comprehension. Thirty-eight typically developing children (12…

Feedback has great influences on student retention and completion, especially on the minority students in higher education. However, the debates on the paradoxical difference between feedback's theoretical potential and its effect in actual practice remain unsettled. This study seeks to address some primary issues in feedback research by…

The study focused on development and validation of the mathematics persistence scale (MPS) for measuring secondary school students' persistence in learning mathematics. The study employed a descriptive survey design. Three research questions guided the study. The population of the study comprised 13,516 students distributed in 59 public secondary…

This article explores the nature of the construct underlying classroom-based English for academic purpose (EAP) oral presentation assessments, which are used, in part, to determine admission to programmes of study at UK universities. Through analysis of qualitative data (from questionnaires, interviews, rating discussions, and fieldnotes), the…

Classroom assessment is essential for tracking students' progress and improving teaching and learning in the classroom. However, the lack of clear documentation to guide teachers in assessing student mastery often hinders effective communication between teachers and stakeholders about the students' progress. This study aimed to develop and test…

Teacher readiness is the willingness of a teacher to implement a planned program successfully. Readiness is crucial in ensuring a program can be implemented at the individual or organizational level. The readiness of science teachers to implement Classroom-Based Assessment (CBA) determines the direction and success of primary school assessments in…

Various factors such as regulatory body mandates, graduate employability challenges, decreasing student engagement and increasing academic misconduct in higher education have motivated universities to explore alternative approaches to teach and assess. Accordingly, the oral assessment has taken precedence in many contexts as a popular form of…

The Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE) College Report advocates for use of real data with context and purpose. This work contributes to the growing literature on assessing statistical literacy by investigating the influence of context as it relates to assessment performance among post-secondary introductory…

In this paper, we investigated the impact of an online classroom-based reading assessment on implementing practices in reading instruction among 30 EFL learners in an intermediate reading course at a public university in East Java, Indonesia. Our study aimed to develop an online classroom-based reading assessment and evaluate its efficacy in…

Background: Supporting undergraduate students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) has been a persistent need. However, assessing the impact of support efforts can prove challenging as it is difficult to operationalize student support and subsequently monitor the combined impacts of the various supports to which students…

Middle level school teachers commonly measure and monitor students' academic performance, but such is not the case for students' classroom behavior. This is unfortunate, given the rise in students' classroom behavior problems in middle school, especially for students who experience emotional or behavioral disorders. The Classroom Performance…

The development of knowledge assessment instrument based on problem solving in the electrochemistry. This research aimed to find out the characteristics, teacher responses, and student responses to the problem-based knowledge assessment instrument on the electrochemistry material. The research method used is research and development which consists…
