In response to a call for more research on evaluator education, this paper explores the use of role-play as an in-class activity for students in a graduate course in evaluation. We describe the activity in detail and use the Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes taxonomy as a tool to describe the cognitive complexity of student responses in the…

Experiential learning, which emphasizes gaining new skills, knowledge, and perspectives through experiences, has become one of the most influential models for transforming students' learning and development in a variety of contexts from academic settings to workplace training programs. The current body of research on the assessment of experiential…

The Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering at University Jaume I has a capstone project in which the student develops, during a 300-hour internship in an enterprise, a real-world project. We collected data for five academic years to analyze the assessment process to propose a new hybrid model, which combines analytic and holistic assessment and…

The selection and application of learning strategies for college students is a hot topic in the field of education. However, there is no consensus on a universal learning strategy for most learners. The methods for discovering such a strategy are also unclear. This lack of agreement is largely due to the absence of unified measurement criteria and…

This study investigates and contrasts the final year (capstone) engineering projects at three public universities in Southern Africa: Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT), Malawi University of Science and Technology (MUST), and Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST). The research examines their practices, structures,…

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming educational practices, particularly in assessment. While AI may support the students in idea generation and summarization of source materials, it also introduces challenges related to content validity, academic integrity, and the development of critical thinking skills. Educators need…

Experiments are considered to be essential components of science learning. This research aimed to investigate trends in the use of science experiments in online learning. A systematic literature review was carried out, with data sourced from the Scopus and Google Scholar databases. The reviewed documents were journal articles published between…

Background/purpose: It revisits Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) as a robust tool for analyzing non-normal data and small samples, offering predictive modeling advantages. This study also compares the merits, practical applications, and added value of both tools in tackling complicated research issues, notably in…

This paper offers a scoping review of the educational approaches adopted to cultivate interdisciplinary processes in higher education courses and modules concerned with sustainability among students with disciplinary backgrounds. Twenty-two empirical peer-reviewed studies published from 2018-2023 were included and synthesised in the study. The…

This study assessed the relationship between preschoolers' directly and indirectly assessed emotion word comprehension. Forty-nine two-to-five-year-old Norwegian children were assessed in a tablet-based 4-alternative forced choice (AFC) task on their comprehension of six basic and six complex emotions using facial expression photographs. Parents…

With a greater focus on employability upon graduation, universities are increasingly considering how the course experience links to knowledge and skill development. To assist with skill development, industry practice and authentic activities should be embedded into the curriculum. Designing and including authentic assessment helps to replicate…

The COVID-19 pandemic heightened the need for digital transformation in higher education, emphasizing the importance of incorporating digital pedagogy. This study explored student experiences and perceptions of digital storytelling, a multimedia-based narrative technique, as an innovative assessment method in occupational therapy education.…

The integration of advanced learning analytics and data-mining technology into higher education has brought various opportunities and challenges, particularly in enhancing students' self-regulated learning (SRL) skills. Analyzing developed features for SRL support, it has become evident that SRL support is not a binary concept but rather a…

Researchers from the Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research at the American Institutes for Research examine two approaches to measuring teacher effectiveness: traditional value-added measures (VAMs) based on test scores and newer measures focusing on non-test outcomes like attendance and behavior. Analysis of data from…

This study presents an in-depth bibliometric analysis of global research trends in educational technology and assessment from 2010 to 2024, focusing on Scopus-indexed publications. With the increasing integration of digital innovations--such as game-based learning, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence--there is a pressing need to…
