Augmented Reality (AR) is increasingly being adopted in education to foster engagement and interest in a variety of subjects and content areas. However, there is a scarcity of instruments to measure the instructional impact of this innovation. This article addresses this gap in two unique ways. First, it presents validation results of the…

In this study, an instrument was developed to measure an instructor's value and incorporation of intersectionality theory in the classroom. Through a Delphi study, a list of items was devised, and then a pilot study was conducted to collect responses from 161 participants. The result is the development of the Intersectionality Pedagogy Scale, a…

Psychometric Properties of the Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (SPANE) have been extensively evaluated in numerous countries, but not in Indonesia. This study investigated factor structure, reliability, measurement invariance, and validity of SPANE scores among a sample of Indonesian university students (N = 405). Multiple measurement…

As learners are able to perceive interactivity when interacting with instructors or peer learners in traditional learning environments, learners are similarly able to perceive interactivity when interacting with artificial intelligence (AI) in AI-supported learning environments. Advancements in AI, such as generative AI including ChatGPT and…

Children with developmental disabilities have different feeding and swallowing problems. The purposes of the present study were to develop an Arabic version of the FHI-C and to evaluate its validity, consistency, and reliability in Arabic children with developmental disabilities for assessing how feeding and swallowing problems impair the…

This study explores the implementation of Differentiated Instruction (DI) in Philippine multigrade classrooms and develops a tool to assess teacher proficiency in DI. Employing an exploratory sequential mixed-method design, the qualitative phase included focus group discussions with eight multigrade teachers, capturing their experiences and…

Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT) is a well-established model for formative assessment, with optimization typically using expectation maximization, conjugate gradient descent, or brute force search. However, one of the flaws of existing optimization techniques for BKT models is convergence to undesirable local minima that negatively impact…

The ability to draw visual representations such as diagrams and graphs is considered fundamental to science learning. Science exams therefore often include questions which require students to draw a visual representation, or to augment a partially provided one. The design features of such questions (e.g., layout of diagrams, amount of answer…

Purpose: Assessing social communication and measuring its changes among young autistic children presents significant challenges, particularly when tracking intervention effects within short timeframes. Existing measures, mostly validated in Western contexts, may not be suitable for culturally diverse populations. Addressing this gap, the Social…

This study explored the effectiveness of extended time (ET) accommodations in the 2017 NAEP Grade 8 Mathematics assessment to enhance educational equity. Analyzing NAEP process data through an XGBoost model, we examined if early interactions with assessment items could predict students' likelihood of requiring ET by identifying those who received…

This paper aims to map and understand tactics and practices of resistance to standardised testing in England by focusing on the "More Than a Score" (MTAS) campaign. More specifically, this paper examines the role of professional organisations affiliated to the MTAS campaign in the production and mobilisation of expert knowledge as a tool…

Medical schools are required to assess and evaluate their curricula and to develop exam questions with strong reliability and validity evidence, often based on data derived from statistically small samples of medical students. Achieving a large enough sample to reliably and validly evaluate courses, assessments, and exam questions would require…

This study investigates the levels of anxiety regarding testing and math in 2 nd and 4 th graders (N= 273) in the context of Romanian National Evaluations (NE), concentrating on differences before and after the assessments. The research purpose is to understand how the pressure of national testing impacts primary school students' emotional…

Engagement in digital reading assessments has been underexplored in spite of its importance for assessment and instructional design. In this study, we used different engagement indicators in two ePIRLS tasks (n[subscript 1] = 14,324, n[subscript 2] = 15,026) to identify engagement profiles, and interpreted them using the three-dimensional model of…

Background: Children with hearing impairment (HI) are at risk for language difficulties, which can persist during childhood. There is a lack of clinical language tests adapted for young preschool children, enabling early identification of language delays. The expressive phonological test PEEPS-SE could enable such testing in these ages. Aims: The…
