Henrique Mohallem Paiva; Flávia Maria Santoro; Victor Takashi Hayashi; Bianca Cassemiro Lima – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2025
Contribution: This article analyzes student assessment within a computing faculty employing a full project-based learning (PBL) approach. Examining 2078 final grades across 60 classes and periods, the study reveals a significant correlation between graded self-studies, exams, and projects. This result contributes to understanding the reliability…

Bernard T. Drumm; Ronan Bree; Caoimhin S. Griffin; Niall O’Leary – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
Laboratory practicals in life science subjects are traditionally assessed by written reports that reflect disciplinary norms for documenting experimental activities. However, the exclusive application of this assessment has the potential to engage only a narrow range of competencies. In this study, we explored how multiple modes of laboratory…

Helen Boylan; Alison L. DuBois; Brian Petrus – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2025
In recent years, employers have expressed concerns that Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) graduates, though proficient in their academic disciplines, lack the critical skills necessary for success in the workplace (Karimi & Pina, 2021). Additionally, many non-STEM majors do not develop the basic STEM competencies that…

McConnell, Melody; Boyer, Jeffrey; Montplaisir, Lisa M.; Arneson, Jessie B.; Harding, Rachel L. S.; Farlow, Brian; Offerdahl, Erika G. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
There is a growing need for valid and reliable measures to monitor the efficacy of undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) reform initiatives. The Classroom Observation Protocol for Undergraduate STEM (COPUS) is a widely used tool originally designed to measure the presence of overt instructor and student behaviors.…

Pang, Toh Yen; Kootsookos, Alex; Fox, Kate; Pirogova, Elena – Journal of University Teaching and Learning Practice, 2022
There is ongoing interest in developing rigorous and accurate assessment methods in higher education, particularly in the use of assessment rubrics and in providing more useful feedback to students rather than a simple grade. However, there has been little used of reliable assessment rubrics that provide feedback to individual students on their…

Al-Salmani, Fatema; Johnson, Jordan; Thacker, Beth – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
We present an analysis of students' thinking skills as evidenced by free-response exam problems during the COVID-19 pandemic. We compare two inquiry-based, laboratory-based classical mechanics courses, one taught online and one taught in person during the pandemic, and two inquiry-based, laboratory-based electricity and magnetism courses, one…

Torres, Anthony; Sriraman, Vedaraman; Ortiz, Araceli – International Journal of Instruction, 2021
The focus of this study is to implement multiple assessment methods in order to comprehensively assess the impact of a Project Based Learning (PrBL) application in construction project management course. The assessment methods include various direct (objective) and indirect (subjective) evaluations methods. These methods included a pre and post…

Summer Bottini; Jennifer Gillis – Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities, 2021
Identification of reinforcers is critical to the effectiveness of behavioral interventions. Stimulus preference assessments (SPA) are a frequently used method to identify putative reinforcers. Given the fluctuating nature of individual preferences, there is need for efficient training of providers that may regularly implement SPAs. The present…

Bauman, Antonina – College Teaching, 2018
Teaching a business program capstone class presents a double challenge, requiring the educator to integrate different functional areas of business and evaluate student learning. This paper discusses concept maps as an active learning assessment tool in teaching a strategic management capstone course. Concept maps are used to meaningfully depict…

Zalewski, Janusz; Novak, Gregor; Carlson, Randall E. – Education Sciences, 2019
This paper is an overview of approaches to teaching physics courses delivered to students of engineering disciplines. It addresses, first, the history of teaching physics to engineering students starting in the early 20th century, then reviews the main issues presented and discussed over the last decade in a series of conferences on Physics…

Vaishnav, Shreya; Carberry, Adam Robert – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
Most higher education institutions employ a traditional, summative scoring system to report student grades at the end of each semester. This system is limited in that it offers a final grade based on individual assignments completed throughout the semester without testing whether students have sufficiently understood the learning objectives of the…

Martin, Andrew P. – International Journal of Higher Education, 2018
Two-stage exams have gained traction in education as a means of creating collaborative active-learning experiences in the classroom in a manner that advances learning, positively increases student engagement, and reduces test anxiety. Published analyses have focused almost exclusively on the increase in student scores from the first individual…

Nadeem, Nahla Helmy – International Journal of Computer-Assisted Language Learning and Teaching, 2019
Student engagement is a multidimensional construct that includes four distinct, though interrelated, aspects: behavioral, emotional, agentive, and cognitive engagement. The present study investigates students' perceptions about the impact of Padlet as a learning and assessment tool on the four aspects of class engagement. Padlet is a virtual wall…

Wu, Sally P. W.; Rau, Martina A. – Grantee Submission, 2017
Recent evidence for the effectiveness of active learning interventions has led educators to advocate for widespread adoption of active learning in undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics courses. Active learning interventions implement technology and collaboration to engage students actively with the content. Yet, it is…
