The aim of this study is to analyse the importance of the number of raters and compare the results obtained by techniques based on Classical Test Theory (CTT) and Generalizability (G) Theory. The Kappa and Krippendorff alpha techniques based on CTT were used to determine the inter-rater reliability. In this descriptive research data consists of…

The normal 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) captures fundamental concepts covered in the principles of cardiac electrophysiology. First year osteopathic medical students recorded their own 12-lead ECG tracings in a laboratory session that also included completing a guided worksheet where they interpreted their 12-lead ECG results. Student feedback…

Over the past two years teacher education programs across the world have faced unprecedented and unexpected challenges that have led to a rapid reconfiguration of in-person teacher training to online formats. For many, this meant reimagining how practice-based teacher education could be envisioned in an online space and without field experiences…

This study aims to deepen our understanding of teaching, specifically the role of teachers' responsiveness in promoting equity in secondary science teaching.
