Implementing formative assessment in large-enrollment statistics courses is recommended by mathematics and statistics education communities. Yet research maintains that large-enrollment courses employ few, if any, formative assessments, exacerbating negative attitudes toward statistics and low student achievement. This conceptual essay applies an…

This research compared the impacts of computerized formative assessment (CFA) and computerized dynamic assessment (CDA) on students' motivation, reading self-concept, autonomy, and self-regulation. Out of a total of 123 Bangladeshi pupils, 87 participants were carefully chosen as the study's sample subject based on the Preliminary English Test…

This paper critically examines Indonesia's 2013 national curriculum, implemented in 2019. The most significant change is the mandated use of formative assessment, which we argue is an example of policy borrowing, a trend also seen in many other countries globally. We argue that this policy has been adopted due to global and regional pressure on…

This research endeavor that aimed to determine the changes in the Senior High School (SHS) teachers' attitudes, self-efficacy, and classroom practices toward formative assessment (FA) as they implemented Feedback Loop Model (FLM) in their Physics classes was examined to assess any improvement in their attitudes, self-efficacy and teachers' FA…

Reintegration into civilian life as nontraditional learners pursuing a four-year bachelor's degree remains a challenging career transition and goal achievement for many student veterans seeking career advancement through higher education. There is insufficient research on student veterans' academic achievement, knowledge about perceptions and…

While teacher assessment and student engagement are emerging topics in the field of second language (L2) writing, little is known about the possible correlations between the two important constructs. This mixed-methods study first surveyed the perceived teacher assessment approaches among L2 learners whose majors are English, Japanese and French…

Mathematical reasoning is a difficult activity for students, and although standards have been introduced worldwide, reasoning is seldom practiced in classrooms. Productively supporting students during the process of mathematical reasoning is a challenge for teachers, and applying formative feedback might increase students' reasoning effectiveness.…

Multiple-choice quizzes (MCQs) are a popular form of assessment. A rapid shift to online assessment during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, drove the uptake of MCQs, yet limited invigilation and wide access to material on the internet allow students to solve the questions via internet search. ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) agent trained on…

College science courses continue to transition from traditional lecture to active learning, which has been shown to have both alleviating and exacerbating effects on undergraduate mental health. Notably, existing studies have primarily examined the relationship between active learning and anxiety, and no studies have specifically assessed the…

The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has prompted a significant shift toward online Education. However, this transition has raised concerns about assessment, distance learning effectiveness, and student workload. These pandemic-induced conditions may also lead to ethical challenges in education. Despite existing research on ethical issues in…

Online quizzes and learning platforms provided by textbook publishers have become common components of undergraduate education. Here, I examine how participation in these formative assessments related to student course performance. Over multiple semesters, students completed either free online unlimited attempt quizzes or assignments from a…

Despite efforts to broaden participation in computer science and its related fields, there exist stark disparities in participation in computer related fields by gender, race/ethnicity, and socio-economic status. One approach to combat these disparities is to expose children to computing concepts early, to provide them with the foundational skills…

This article discusses the growing misalignment between the roles teachers are expected to play in schools and their core instructional responsibilities. Drawing on evidence from the United States, Germany, and international exemplars such as Finland, Norway, Singapore, and Ontario, we argue that educational systems have increasingly placed…

Formative assessment is a crucial aspect of teaching and learning in the classroom, but there is evidence that there has been a lack of effective implementation of formative assessment in practice. In response, this article outlines the design and development of a formative assessment framework that can be implemented as a consistent whole-school…

Background/Context: Despite advances in the learning sciences, a persistent gap remains between research and practice. Purpose/Objective/Research Question/Focus of Study: In this project, we develop and try out a new approach to education research and development in which researchers, designers/developers, and instructors collaborate to…
