Wilson, Ray – Leadership, 2005
The author, an executive director of Assessment and Accountability for the Poway Unified School District, relates how their school district implemented an assessment program with practical applications to teaching and learning. Rather than being yet another burden on teachers or a local report card on schools, the district's goal was to define…

Burrow, Michael; Evdorides, Harry; Hallam, Barbara; Freer-Hewish, Richard – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2005
This paper outlines an approach taken to produce computer-based formative assessments for two modules in a one-year taught MSc programme in Road Management and Engineering. It presents the aims of the assessments, the taxonomy adopted to ensure that the formulation of the questions addressed learning outcomes related to the development of higher…

Clarke, Sophie; Lindsay, Katharine; McKenna, Chris; New, Steve – ALT-J: Research in Learning Technology, 2004
There has been a wealth of investigation into the use of online multiple-choice questions as a means of summative assessment, however the research into the use of formative MCQs by the same mode of delivery still remains patchy. Similarly, research and implementation has been largely concentrated within the Sciences and Medicine rather than the…

Adams, Andrew; Williams, Shirley – Electronic Journal of e-Learning, 2006
Customer-Driven Development is a technique from the software development method called extreme Programming (XP) where customers (most importantly including end users of all levels) are closely involved in the software design and redesign process. This method of producing software suitable for customers has been adapted to help in the production of…

Johnson, Genevieve Marie; Johnson, Julia Ann – Online Submission, 2006
Forty-eight college students participated in an ABAB analysis; the A condition was online study groups and the B condition was individual online quizzes. The effect of A and B on student satisfaction and achievement was determined. The Index of Learning Styles categorized students on four dimensions of learning style (active-reflective,…

Bennett, Randy Elliot; Sebrechts, Marc M. – 1994
This study evaluated expert system diagnoses of examinees' solutions to complex constructed-response algebra word problems. Problems were presented to three samples (30 college students each), each of which had taken the Graduate Record Examinations General Test. One sample took the problems in paper-and-pencil form and the other two on computer.…

Lam, Peter; Foong, Yoke-Yeen – 1996
This study attempts to estimate Structure of Learning Outcome (SOLO) levels in mathematics using the Partial Credit and Rating Scale models. A 30-item test comprising 10 testlets of 3 items each was designed and administered to 674 lower secondary school students. The items were arranged in a hierarchical manner, each testing SOLO levels in this…

Wise, Steven L. – 1997
The perspective of the examinee during the administration of a computerized adaptive test (CAT) is discussed, focusing on issues of test development. Item review is the first issue discussed. Virtually no CATs provide the opportunity for the examinee to go back and review, and possibly change, answers. There are arguments on either side of the…

Buhendwa, Frank M. – 1996
Instruments used in a study by M. B. Kinzie and M. A. Delacourt (1991), the Attitude towards Computer Technologies (ACT) and the Self-efficacy for Computer Technologies (SCT), assess preservice teachers' perceived usefulness of and comfort level with specific computer technologies. This study uses a population confirmed to be similar to that used…

Witter, Stephen D.; And Others – 1994
A study determined the viability and effectiveness of the Computerized Competent Speaker Evaluation System. A total of 659 comments made by undergraduate students about the paper version of the Competent Speaker Speech Evaluation Form were subjected to two Q sorts. The 635 comments that emerged were incorporated into the evaluation system during…

Bennett, Randy Elliot – 1994
The Educational Testing Service is moving rapidly to computerize its tests for admissions to postsecondary education and occupational licensure/certification. Computerized tests offer important advantages, including immediate score reporting, the convenience of testing when the examinee wishes, and for adaptive tests, equal accuracy throughout the…

Kim, JinGyu – 1992
The relationships among teaching, testing, and learning are examined and reconceptualized based on different theories and computer adaptive testing. Approaches that integrate teaching, testing, and learning include: (1) behavioral psychology; (2) cognitive psychology; and (3) computer adaptive testing (CAT). Some behaviorists have assumed that all…

Siskind, Theresa G.; And Others – 1992
The instructional validity of computer administered tests was studied with a focus on whether differences in test scores and item behavior are a function of instructional mode (computer versus non-computer). In the first of 3 studies, performance test scores for approximately 400 high school students in 1990-91 for tasks accomplished with the…

Roth, Jeffrey; Crans, Gerald S.; Carter, Randy L.; Ariet, Mario; Resnick, Michael B. – 1999
This study examined the effects of high school course choices, grades, and Grade Ten Assessment Test scores (GTAT) in math and reading, along with race and gender, on student performance on a computerized placement test (CPT) administered upon entry to community colleges in Florida. The sample consisted of 19,736 African-American, white, and…

Shermis, Mark D.; And Others – 1992
The reliability of four branching algorithms commonly used in computer adaptive testing (CAT) was examined. These algorithms were: (1) maximum likelihood (MLE); (2) Bayesian; (3) modal Bayesian; and (4) crossover. Sixty-eight undergraduate college students were randomly assigned to one of the four conditions using the HyperCard-based CAT program,…
