Miriam Romero; James F. Juola; Cristina Casadevante; José Manuel Hernández – Psychology in the Schools, 2024
The Mastery Performance-Goal Orientation Test (MP-GOT) assesses performance- and mastery-orientation along a single bipolar dimension. In Study 1 (n = 198) we explored its psychometric properties and determined whether its results were related to learning. In addition, we employed Latent Profile Analysis to explore goal orientation profiles. In…

Hartman, Christie-Joy Brodrick; DeMars, Christine E.; Griscom, Heather Peckham; Butner, Harold Martin – International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education, 2017
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to present a public university's design and implementation of an assessment approach that measures the change in undergraduate students' environmental stewardship reasoning and knowledge abilities over time. Design/methodology/approach: In support of a university's strategic emphasis on environmental…

Revising the IDEA Student Ratings of Instruction System 2002-2011 Data. IDEA Technical Report No. 18
Benton, Stephen L.; Li, Dan; Brown, Ron; Guo, Meixi; Sullivan, Patricia – IDEA Center, Inc., 2015
This report describes the processes undertaken to revise the IDEA Student Ratings of Instruction (SRI) system. The previous revision occurred in 1999, as described in IDEA Technical Report No. 11, "Revising the IDEA System for Obtaining Student Ratings of Instructors and Courses" (Hoyt, Chen, Pallett, & Gross, 1999). The procedures…

Prieß-Buchheit, Julia – Journal of Social Science Education, 2015
The Economic Actions in Education training module (EAE) teaches how to handle, use and judge external standardized tests in schools. The EAE programme was implemented in teacher training at the University of Kiel, because teachers are increasingly under external scrutiny and are being held accountable for student and school achievements. The EAE…

Offor, Elizabeth I. D. – World Journal of Education, 2014
Assessment is a very important programme in education. Assessment information shows the level of achievement of objective. Important decisions are made about the learner and education system based on results of assessment. Whatever the parents know about quality of education is through the assessment reports of their wards. Considering its…

Mugimu, Christopher Byalusaago; Mugisha, Wilson Rwandembo – Journal of Curriculum and Teaching, 2017
Assessment in health sciences education has become an extremely critical issue in recent years, given the rapidly changing disease patterns and behavioral changes in communities among diverse cultural and economic contexts of patients. Globally, there is increasing demand for highly qualified contemporary healthcare professionals. Subsequently,…

Szafran, Robert F. – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2017
Institutional assessment of student learning objectives has become a fact-of-life in American higher education and the Association of American Colleges and Universities' (AAC&U) VALUE Rubrics have become a widely adopted evaluation and scoring tool for student work. As faculty from a variety of disciplines, some less familiar with the…

Burdett, Newman – National Foundation for Educational Research, 2015
This election factsheet highlights the following points: (1) While the GCSE pass rate has increased since its introduction, this doesn't tell us very much about how standards have changed. Evidence from international surveys suggests that education standards have remained stable. Stopping the use of modules and limiting resits is likely to reduce…

Benton, Stephen L.; Li, Dan – IDEA Center, Inc., 2015
Most institutions of higher education have some system in place for collecting student ratings of instruction (SRI) data from classes on a systematic basis. SRIs are a relatively simple way of gauging student perceptions of teaching and the course. Since the initial development of IDEA SRI in 1975, much has changed about higher education. Many…

Guskey, Thomas R.; Jung, Lee Ann – Educational Leadership, 2016
Many educators consider grades calculated from statistical algorithms more accurate, objective, and reliable than grades they calculate themselves. But in this research, the authors first asked teachers to use their professional judgment to choose a summary grade for hypothetical students. When the researchers compared the teachers' grade with the…

Beitzel, Brian D. – Journal of Research in Education, 2013
The Student Response to Faculty Instruction (SRFI) is an instrument designed to measure the student perspective on courses in higher education. The SRFI was derived from decades of empirical studies of student evaluations of teaching. This article describes the development of the SRFI and its psychometric attributes demonstrated in two pilot study…

Roudabush, Glenn E.; Green, Donald Ross – 1972
In determining how reliable is reliable enough and how much error can be tolerated in criterion-referenced testing, the following relationships hold: (1) the more specific an objective is, the fewer the items required to reliably measure it; (2) the more specific the objectives are, the more objectives required to cover a given span of the…

Roudabush, Glenn E.; Green, Donald Ross – 1971
This paper describes the development of a criterion-referenced test. The Prescriptive Mathematics Inventory (PMI) was developed to measure 400 stated behavioral objectives. The test consists of three overlapping levels with the objectives chosen to cover 90 to 95 per cent of the mathematics curriculum nominally taught in grades 4 through 8. Each…

Berk, Ronald A. – 1979
As alternatives to the objectives-based approach to specifying content domains for test construction purposes, six strategies are proposed: (1) amplified objectives; (2) Instructional Objectives Exchange (IOX) test specifications; (3) item transformations; (4) item forms; (5) algorithms; and (6) mapping sentences. Their effectiveness is assessed…
