Teachers may have students who are English Language Learners (ELLs) in their classes. In the Eastern Kentucky region of Appalachia, there are at times limited numbers of ELLs in regular classes, making effective modifications and accommodations challenging for regular classroom teachers. While the teaching of ELLs in regular classes is a…

The Cambridge Digital Mocks Service offers on-screen assessments created by transferring paper-based (PB) exams into a digital test platform. This feasibility project considered the validity of extending the Digital Mocks Service to maths and science qualifications, thinking about (1) the outcomes that are likely when maths and science items are…

Biology instructors use concept assessments in their courses to gauge student understanding of important disciplinary ideas. Instructors can choose to administer concept assessments based on participation (i.e., lower stakes) or the correctness of responses (i.e., higher stakes), and students can complete the assessment in an in-class or…

This article addresses two current debates that have generated increasing interest in a number of countries but have rarely been considered together: the debate on religious and interreligious literacy and the debate on the assessment of the outcomes of Religious Education (RE). Against this background, both debates are reviewed and critically…

Assessment instruments that generate quantitative data on attributes (cognitive, affective, behavioral, "etc.") of participants are commonly used in the chemistry education community to draw conclusions in research studies or inform practice. Recently, articles and editorials have stressed the importance of providing evidence for the…

Retrieving information from memory can--under many circumstances--strengthen one's memory of the retrieved information itself. The strategic use of retrieval to enhance memory and help long-term retention is known as retrieval practice. However, it is unclear whether its effect also holds true in the case of learning mathematics. This research is…

We report on an innovative design of algorithmic analysis that supports automatic online assessment of students' exploration of geometry propositions in a dynamic geometry environment. We hypothesized that difficulties with and misuse of terms or logic in conjectures are rooted in the early exploration stages of inquiry. We developed a generic…

Learning to read marks an important milestone in children. Extensive research with monolingual and bilingual children has demonstrated that language comprehension (LC) forms fundamental building blocks for reading comprehension (RC). However, mixed findings are reported among studies that compare readings skills in children with and without…

Formative assessment supports teachers in recognizing students' learning strengths and shortcomings and enhancing teaching and learning approaches. The current study aims to examine the impact of digital-based formative assessment on students' learning of organic chemistry. In this study, a mixed research strategy was used. Students in senior five…

The study covers the development and testing of the alternative mechanics survey (AMS), a modified force concept inventory (FCI), which used automatically marked free-response questions. Data were collected over a period of three academic years from 611 participants who were taking physics classes at high school and university level. A total of…

In this study, online test scores and paper-pencil test scores of students studying through online learning were examined. Causal-comparative research was used to determine the distribution of students' test scores and to examine the relationship between them. The participants of the research are freshman students studying in 12 faculties and 8…

Academic accommodations for students experiencing disabilities are increasingly available at postsecondary institutions. More studies of the efficacy of accommodations for student success are warranted, however. Given the increased gender gap in university participation, more focus on the unique impact of gender is also needed. Using a sample of…

This study intended to empirically investigate the influence of select factors on the remote learning performance of accounting students at a business college in Kuwait. The study attempted to address some factors that might influence accounting students' performance when learning remotely and that have not been investigated in prior research…
