Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) assessment via telehealth, with growing support in terms of both validity and acceptability, was increasingly used during the COVID-19 pandemic and has continued due to its utility and convenience. Shifting from in-person assessments to telehealth for young children required several adaptations, namely around…

Social justice in mathematics education remains a critical concern. Despite growing awareness, progress has been insufficient. Mathematics education plays a pivotal role in fostering social justice through creativity, critical thinking, innovation, and collaborative problem-solving. However, existing curriculum, teaching practices, and assessments…

This study was conducted to validate the measurement model of the awareness of e-waste management among secondary school students. The study's respondents consisted of 1,000 students from Malaysian secondary schools, who were selected using a simple random sampling technique based on their school level. The constructs studied were knowledge,…

Over the past decade, propensity score-based methods have made an important contribution to the improvement of generalizations from educational studies. However, an important limitation is that many studies are based on small sample sizes in which the study comprises 3-5% of the inference population. In response, one suggestion that has been made…

A key goal of science education articulated in "A Framework for K-12 Science Education" is to create opportunities for students to answer questions about the world that connect to their interests, experiences, and identities. Interest can be seen as a malleable relationship between a person and object (such a phenomenon students might…

Quantitative studies of educational inequity, or inequality, often perpetuate troubling, deficit-based ideologies that have a disproportionate impact on discourse around racism in public education. In this review, we systematically analyze 52 quantitative studies of racial inequity or inequality from high-reach journals to understand how…

The idea of a practical examination in a subject is an old and established one in many fields, within chemistry, in widely differing areas of academics, and in many on-the-job training scenarios. In a dedicated course on chemical safety, we have found that "the unsafe lab practical" makes for a thought-provoking and yet fun final…

The purposes of this research were to assess the educational sustainability of an educational project based on phases-based assessment and to assess the results of the educational project. The participants were stakeholders of the educational project and experts, who were acquired by purposive sampling. The instruments were the assessment forms of…

Knowledge Tracing (KT) is a task to model students' knowledge based on their coursework interactions within an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS). Recently, Deep Neural Networks (DNN) showed superb performance over classical methods on multiple dataset benchmarks. While most Deep Learning based Knowledge Tracing (DLKT) models are optimized for…

Prior literature discusses how conflicting beliefs regarding assessment, competing workloads, and a lack of formal assessment resources may contribute to faculty reluctance to engage with formal assessment processes. There is a gap in research on exploring assessment leader-faculty relationships through the lens of Leader-Member Exchange Theory…

Accounting for model misspecification in Bayesian structural equation models is an active area of research. We present a uniquely Bayesian approach to misspecification that models the degree of misspecification as a parameter--a parameter akin to the correlation root mean squared residual. The misspecification parameter can be interpreted on its…

Asymmetric Likert-type items in research studies can present several challenges in data analysis, particularly concerning missing data. These items are often characterized by a skewed scaling, where either there is no neutral response option or an unequal number of possible positive and negative responses. The use of conventional techniques, such…

Possible symptoms of intellectual disability (ID) include delayed physical development that becomes more pronounced as the disability progresses, delayed development of gross and fine motor skills, sensory perception problems, and difficulty grasping the integrity of objects. Although there is no cure or reversal, research has shown that extensive…

A value creation conceptual framework is used to analyse perceived value creation in intra-group assessment narratives of students in online team projects enrolled in Management courses. Emerging categorised themes organised under four domains including preparedness, contribution to productivity, respect for others, and flexibility, aligned with…

There is a general tension between the individualised nature of current assessment practices in higher education and a collaborative approach to learning. This results in many dilemmas for educators as they try to balance academic integrity concerns and student preferences with social or collaborative assessment practices, including peer…
