Educator preparation programs (EPPs) provide a foundation for preservice teachers to gain the knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed by classroom teachers. Moreover, EPPs also provide educational foundations and professional development for inservice teachers, school counsellors, school psychologists, educational administrators such as…

In Spring 2020, the need for redesigning online assessments to preserve integrity became a priority to many educators. Many of us found methods to proctor examinations using Zoom and proctoring software. Such examinations pose their own issues. To reduce the technical difficulties and cost, many Zoom proctored examination sessions were shortened;…

This study was conducted to develop a measurement tool to achieve epilepsy self-management in teachers and examine its Turkish psychometric properties. This descriptive, comparative, correlational, and methodological study was conducted between May and August 2022 with 346 teachers between the ages of 24 and 67 working in public schools selected…

Developing valid and reliable instruments to assess common content knowledge (CCK) is a prerequisite for determining and improving the content knowledge of preservice teachers (PSTs) and teachers. We report on the development and psychometric analysis of an instrument for assessing PSTs' gymnastics CCK for secondary physical education teaching…

The shift to distance education during the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the potential and preference of online learners for remote assessment. Yet, concerns about academic integrity, especially with tools like ChatGPT, prompted a reevaluation of remote evaluation methods. Universities responded by returning to on-campus exams or relying on…

Non-rigid spatial thinking, or mental transformations where the distance between two points in an object changes (e.g., folding, breaking, bending), is required for many STEM fields but remains critically understudied. We developed and tested a non-rigid, ductile spatial skill measure based on reasoning about knots with 279 US adults (M = 30.90,…

This study examined which aspects of critical literacy are focused on in the reading literacy assessment for the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2018 and what kinds of texts are related to the critical literacy items in the test. Based on theory-oriented qualitative content analysis, critical literacy items in PISA…

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, particularly OpenAI's ChatGPT, has significantly impacted higher education institutions (HEIs), offering opportunities and challenges. While these tools enhance personalized learning and content generation, they threaten academic integrity, especially in assessment environments.…

Systems thinking (ST) is an essential competence for future life and biology learning. Appropriate assessment is critical for collecting sufficient information to develop ST in biology education. This research offers an ST framework based on a comprehensive understanding of biological systems, encompassing four skills across three complexity…

Assessing cognitive demand is crucial for research on self-regulated learning; however, discrepancies in translating essential concepts across languages can hinder the comparison of research findings. Different languages often emphasize various components and interpret certain constructs differently. This paper aims to develop a translingual set…

In this paper, we investigated the impact of an online classroom-based reading assessment on implementing practices in reading instruction among 30 EFL learners in an intermediate reading course at a public university in East Java, Indonesia. Our study aimed to develop an online classroom-based reading assessment and evaluate its efficacy in…

Teaching pragmatics is crucial in the teaching of English as a foreign language (EFL) since it is one of the primary indications of successfully and appropriately communicating in a target language. To our knowledge, there are not many studies on teaching pragmatics and no thoroughly designed measurement tools to investigate the perspectives of…

Purpose: Assessing early language skills through parental report is a cost-effective way to screen for language delays when resources are scarce. A pan-Arabic lexeme approach was tested by extending the Egyptian adaptation of the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventory (CDI) to Jordan and Palestine in infants aged 8-30 months (Arabic…

Culturally responsive (CR) assessments have three major goals: (a) increasing cultural representation in items, (b) fostering cultural competence and antiracist mind-sets in test takers, and (c) more accurately measuring all test takers' abilities. However, limited resources exist in how to create CR items or what CR items could look like.…

The credibility of an Awarding Organisation's products is partly reliant upon the claims it makes about its assessments and on the evidence it can provide to support such claims. Some such claims relate to comparability. For example, for syllabuses with options, such as the choice to conduct coursework or to take an alternative exam testing…
