Online learning has grown due to the advancement of technology and flexibility. Online examinations measure students' knowledge and skills. Traditional question papers include inconsistent difficulty levels, arbitrary question allocations, and poor grading. The suggested model calibrates question paper difficulty based on student performance to…

There is a lot of interest in providing detailed reports to schools indicating which skills pupils have mastered and which still need development -- and, more broadly, the knowledge, skills and understanding that pupils have acquired and not yet acquired. Cognitive diagnostic assessment is an approach designed to provide this kind of insight.…

This research aims to develop the product of the life skill education program (LSEP) which is accurate, credible, and effective. This research used the Plomp model. The model covers the input, process, output, outcome and consists of instrument, scoring guidance, and good or bad criteria. The instruments used in the model are the questionnaire,…

In language assessment, AI technology has been incorporated in task design, assessment delivery, automated scoring of performance-based tasks, score reporting, and provision of feedback. AI technology is also used for collecting and analyzing performance data in language assessment validation. Research has been conducted to investigate the…

Echoing research interests in recent concepts and models of teacher leadership, the focus of existing scales needs to be updated, and their quality needs to be improved. This study summarizes common ground of influential definitions, models, and frameworks for teacher leadership, proposes a six-factor model (association, professional learning,…

This study aimed to develop the "Lesson Study Model Perception Scale" (LSMPS) and to determine the psychometric properties of the scale. The study was designed as a survey model. A survey model is a research approach that aims to describe a situation as it is. When all the findings obtained to determine the psychometric properties of the…

The indefinite nature of test fairness and different interpretations and definitions of the concept have stirred a lot of controversy over the years, necessitating the reconceptualization of the concept. On this basis, this study aimed to explore the empirical validity of Kunnan's (2008) Test Fairness Framework (TFF) and revisit the established…

My dissertation research explored responder behaviors (e.g., demonstrating response styles, carelessness, and possessing misconceptions) that compromise psychometric quality and impact the interpretation and use of assessment results. Identifying these behaviors can help researchers understand and minimize their potentially construct-irrelevant…

The emergence of new media technologies has empowered individuals to not merely consume but also create, share and critique media contents. Such activities are dependent on new media literacy (NML) necessary for living and working in the participatory culture of the twenty-first century. Although a burgeoning body of research has focused on the…

Closing equity gaps in student outcomes has been a key part of the national agenda in postsecondary education the last two decades as goals to increase the number of college graduates coincides with an increasing number, and future majority, of students from historically marginalized communities. Impactful support programs for students from…

Enhancing students' conceptual understanding is one of the primary goals of science education. Existing literature suggests that the degree of knowledge integration among students can reflect their level of conceptual understanding. This study focuses on the concept of friction force, constructing a cognitive structure model of friction force to…

Purpose: Civic education is a central mission of public schools, and deeper learning of civics--learning that is complex and adaptive--is the goal. However, assessment of deeper civic learning is limited. Therefore, we aimed to develop an assessment model and test of deeper learning in the common high school civics course taught across the U.S.…

Certain behaviors, especially when adopted by a majority, can help limit the magnitude of climate change. In this cross-sectional study, the stages of change from the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) are applied to environmentally-significant behavior. We develop and test a new scale -- the Climate Change Stages of Change Questionnaire (CCSOCQ) -- for…

This study attempted to conceptualise and measure learners' perceptions of their collaborative problem-based learning and peer assessment strategies in a technology-enabled context. Drawing on the extant literature, we integrate collaborative, problem-based and peer assessment learning strategies and propose a new model, the collaborative…

This article explores the development and evaluation of the Building Leadership Team Assessment Tool (BLT-AT), designed to measure Professional Learning Communities' (PLCs') use of effective school improvement practices. The BLT-AT is grounded in Ohio's inclusive instructional leadership model, which emphasizes the improvement of teaching and…
