James Pengelley; Peter R. Whipp; Anabela Malpique – Technology, Pedagogy and Education, 2025
The rising use of technology in classrooms has also brought with it a concomitant wave of computer-based assessments. The argument for computer-based testing is often framed in terms of efficiency and data management: computer-based tests facilitate more efficient processing of test data and the rate at which feedback can be leveraged for student…

M. L. Eding; M. Meeter; C. Schuengel – Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs, 2025
Education of children with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities requires adequate assessment of their educational needs and potential to learn. Dynamic testing using analogical reasoning tasks may be a promising way to perform such an assessment. However, it remains unclear how dynamic testing with these children may be done in practice.…

Jochanan Veerbeek; Bart Vogelaar – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2025
Dynamic testing, though underutilized, holds potential for assessing learning and instructional needs. However, its limited adoption is often attributed to the perceived time and labor-intensive nature of its administration. This study explores the viability of a training-only dynamic test (ToDT) with a standardized procedure to identify…

Kirsten Namesnik-Silvester; Marike Polak; Niels Smits; Joukje Swinkels; Lidia Arends; Dimitris Pavlopoulos; Anastasios Psychogyiopoulos; Oliver Lindemann; Sharon Klinkenberg; Marleen H. M. de Moor – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2025
Gaining knowledge of statistics is important in most (under)graduate programs within the social and behavioral sciences and requires repeated study by students, highlighting the need for good practice materials. We describe the development of an open item bank of statistics exercises by a community of instructors from Dutch universities: the…

Daury Jansen; Louise Elffers; Suzanne Jak; Monique L. L. Volman – Oxford Review of Education, 2024
The prevalence of private supplementary tutoring (i.e. shadow education) is growing, particularly in nations with selective school exams. The hypothesis that tutoring attendance rises as pressure to perform increases has not yet been tested. Therefore, our research question is: does the likelihood of attending shadow education increase with an…

Spitzer, Markus Wolfgang Hermann; Moeller, Korbinian – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: Mastering fractions seems among the most critical mathematical skills for students to acquire in school as fraction understanding significantly predicts later mathematic achievements, but also broader academic and vocational prospects. As such, identifying longitudinal predictors of fraction understanding (e.g., mastery of numbers and…

Weißmüller, Kristina S.; De Waele, Lode – Research in Higher Education, 2022
Bribery is a complex and critical issue in higher education (HE), causing severe economic and societal harm. Traditionally, most scholarship on HE corruption has focused on institutional factors in developing countries and insights into the psychological and motivational factors that drive HE bribery on the micro-level mechanisms are virtually…

Vogelaar, Bart; Resing, Wilma C. M.; Stad, Femke E. – Journal of Cognitive Education and Psychology, 2020
This study investigated potential differences in the processes of solving analogies between gifted and average-ability children (aged 9-10 years old) in a dynamic testing setting. Utilizing a pre-test-training-post-test control group design, participants were split in four subgroups: gifted dynamic testing (n = 24), gifted control (n = 26),…

Becht, Andrik I.; Luyckx, Koen; Nelemans, Stefanie A.; Goossens, Luc; Branje, Susan J. T.; Vollebergh, Wilma A. M.; Meeus, Wim H. J. – Developmental Psychology, 2019
This multisample longitudinal study examined the directionality of effects between identity exploration and commitment processes and depressive symptoms across adolescence. We compared two theoretical perspectives. According to the vulnerability model, identity uncertainty predicts depressive symptoms, whereas the scar model holds that depressive…

Schmidt, Henk G.; Baars, Gerard J. A.; Hermus, Peter; van der Molen, Henk T.; Arnold, Ivo J. M.; Smeets, Guus – European Journal of Higher Education, 2022
The purpose of the study reported here was to observe the effects of examination practices on the extent to which university students procrastinate. These examination practices were: (1) limiting the number of resits, (2) compensatory rather than conjunctive decision-making about student progress, and (3) restricting the time available for…

Vogelaar, Bart; Sweijen, Sophie W.; Resing, Wilma C. M. – Journal of Intelligence, 2019
Analogical reasoning is assumed to play a large role in learning and problem solving in everyday and school settings. It was examined whether a newly developed dynamic test of analogical reasoning would be sufficiently difficult for identifying young gifted children's potential for solving analogies. The study included 74 gifted (n = 31) and…

Day, Indira N. Z.; van Blankenstein, F. M.; Westenberg, P. Michiel; Admiraal, W. F. – Educational Studies, 2018
Universities introduce intermediate assessment because it is understood to have positive effects on student behaviour and achievement. Yet, how intermediate assessment is perceived might be conditional for its success. The current study investigates both teachers' and students' perceptions of intermediate assessment. Teachers and students were…

Olejniczak, Karol; Newcomer, Kathryn E.; Meijer, Sebastiaan A. – American Journal of Evaluation, 2020
Evaluation professionals need to be nimble and innovative in their approaches in order to be relevant and provide useful evidence to decision-makers, stakeholders, and society in the crowded public policy landscape. In this article, we offer serious games as a method that can be employed by evaluators to address three persisting challenges in…
