Amalgamating generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI), Bloom's taxonomy and critical thinking present a promising avenue to revolutionize assessment pedagogy and foster higher-order cognitive skills needed for learning autonomy in the domain of self-directed learning. Gen AI, a subset of artificial intelligence (AI), has emerged as a…

This report presents normative data for the easyCBM reading and mathematics assessment system, designed for students in Grades K-8 to support academic screening and progress monitoring. The normative indices provide educators with reliable benchmarks for identifying students at risk for academic difficulties, setting growth targets, and evaluating…

Background/purpose: Education continues to evolve along with technological advances, and one of the biggest changes is the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the learning process. The main problem in this study is the lack of in-depth understanding of the factors that influence the effectiveness of using AI in self-paced learning…

This quasi-experimental study compared the effects of Computer-assisted Hybrid Dynamic Assessment (HDA) and Interventionist Dynamic Assessment (IDA) on the development of organizational writing skills in L2, aiming to improve both assessment and instruction within Chinese EFL context. A total of 85 first-year university students in China…

Assessment in education has shifted from summative to formative models in recent decades, with technological advancements facilitating flexible implementation anytime and anywhere. Stemming from this phenomenon, this study aims to identify the trends in mathematics learning assessment in Southeast Asia through a systematic literature review (SLR)…

Priming incoming and second-year college students with questions about effort prior to completing low-stakes assessments has increased test-taking effort. We extended this research by randomly assigning college seniors to one of three priming conditions prior to completing low-stakes assessments: answering three questions about intended effort…

This systematic review examines the factors that facilitate student performance in oral assessments at the undergraduate and master's levels across diverse academic disciplines. As higher education increasingly shifts from traditional written assessments to alternative summative methods--partly in response to the rise of generative artificial…

Selection decisions have a major impact on our education, occupation, and quality of life, and the role of standardized tests in selection has always been a source of controversy. Here, I consider various definitions of fairness in measurement and selection--those emerging from within educational measurement and statistics, those from philosophy,…

With the Expert Examination System developed within the scope of this study, questions can be prepared in accordance with the measurement and evaluation criteria in education, which helps measure the students' actual knowledge levels effectively. It is possible to create exam forms by using these questions. The developed Special Examination System…

The impact of retrieval practice on analogical-problem-solving performance was investigated using a complex, educationally relevant task. Participants studied a statistical hypothesis testing scenario and practiced recalling the material or repeatedly studied it. Participants then completed a final test either 5 minutes or 1 week later involving a…

Sequencing items in adaptive learning systems typically relies on a large pool of interactive question items that are analyzed into a hierarchy of skills, also known as Knowledge Components (KCs). Educational data mining techniques can be used to analyze students response data in order to optimize the mapping of items to KCs, with similarity-based…

This study aims to disclose the Iranian university teachers' perceptions of the fundamentals of language assessment literacy (LAL). To this aim, using purposive sampling, eighteen university teachers from two Iranian universities were invited to participate in semi-structured interviews. Their viewpoints were audio-recorded, transcribed, and…

This study used survival analysis to examine the patterns and factors associated with time to achieving designated score criteria on a test of English as a foreign language. This was modeled using an extension of the Cox regression model, with two criterion score levels defined as achieving a TOEFL iBT® total test scale score at or above the…

All Florida schools teach the Florida Standards Assessments (FSA) in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics and the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS) in Science and Social Studies. Student performance provides important information to parents/guardians, teachers, policy makers, and the general public regarding how well students…

Allowing item review in computerized adaptive testing (CAT) is getting more attention in the educational measurement field as more and more testing programs adopt CAT. The research literature has shown that allowing item review in an educational test could result in more accurate estimates of examinees' abilities. The practice of item review in…
