Dynamic assessment (DA), based on Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory, integrates instruction and assessment into a single activity through interactive dialog between the mediator and learner to promote development. This research utilized the interactionist DA to assess and enhance five types of listening inferential abilities of Chinese EFL learners.…

The global pandemic caused by COVID-19 has acted as a significant driver for the adoption of online educational practices, including instruction and assessment. Given the urgent need for an alternative to traditional assessment methods during the pandemic, various studies have explored this topic across different contexts to evaluate the impact,…

Many quality assurance frameworks are in need of modification and evaluation before they can support the alignment of inclusive course design and pedagogies in institutions of higher education (IHEs). This study aimed to add inclusive practices in an open-source rubric, OpenSUNY Course Quality Review (OSCQR) rubric. Guided by the Universal Design…

For STEM faculty to approach teaching as a scientist, they must develop tools for data collection and analysis of student learning outcomes. Here, we report a methodology for the development of a learning outcomes assessment instrument and statistical analysis of that instrument that can be undertaken in a short amount of time by a few faculty…

This research was conducted to obtain students' views on the evaluation of artificial intelligence (AI)-supported design applications in art and design education using the fuzzy logic method. It aims to provide a new perspective for educators in identifying real learning situations and deficiencies in art and design education. The study utilized…

Purpose: We sought to identify the constructs and measures used to evaluate the social interaction abilities of young people (12-17 years) with communication disability, drawing from three frameworks: a taxonomy of pediatric cognitive-communication disorders, a taxonomy to describe language assessments of school-aged children, and the framework of…

This study, conducted at a fully online Spanish higher education institution, documents the validation of a bespoke quality assessment tool designed to measure the susceptibility of formative assignments to AI academic misconduct. The research explored the impact of Generative AI (GenAI) technologies in the Humanities. The framework study…

The actions of a teacher are one of the strongest factors influencing students' academic achievement and future life success. However, some of the most common frameworks that are used to evaluate teachers and guide their development or improvement are not based on or informed by research about effective teaching methods. Other frameworks are…

In response to a growing awareness of the oppressive foundations of educational institutions, literacy educators have turned to antiracist, culturally responsive (Alim and Paris; Paris), and equitable teaching and assessment practices to combat the inequities (colonialism, racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, etc.) on which our institutions are…

The rapid digital transformation of vocational education and training (VET) has underscored the need to adapt traditional assessment methods to digital formats. However, when transitioning to digital modes, it is crucial to consider factors beyond mere technical implementation, particularly the potential impact of altered presentation formats on…

Educational games have gained widespread interest among teachers and researchers across various fields due to their capacity to engage students, foster active participation, and improve learning outcomes. In the context of computer programming, which demands significant cognitive effort, the use of educational games has grown substantially. While…

Four versions of science and history texts were tailored to diverse hypothetical reader profiles (high and low reading skills and domain knowledge), generated by four Large Language Models (i.e., Claude, Llama, ChatGPT, and Gemini). The Natural Language Processing (NLP) technique was applied to examine variations in Large Language Model (LLM) text…

The success of development projects and evaluations hinges on having access to research protocols and methodologies that consider the needs and characteristics of stakeholders, subjects, and context while remaining rigorous and culturally sound. These efforts are often complicated by a dearth of tools that have been tested for validity and…

This scoping review addresses the limited scopes of current research on classroom assessment in university mathematics education (UME). We examine 67 empirical studies (2012-2024) from two crucial but ignored aspects: assessment purposes and theoretical foundations. Our key findings reveal (1) significant geographic disparities reflecting the…

All educators engage in formative assessment; however, to ensure educators are fostering equity in how diverse learners experience learning, the assessment toolkit needs to be expanded. Science education, like all other aspects of society today, has persistent issues of inequity rooted in issues of anti-Blackness, colonialism, and racism; however,…
