Background: People with communication problems experience challenges in participation. Optimizing communicative participation for this population is an important outcome of speech and language therapy. Participation experiences are best assessed from the patient's perspective, using a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM). The Communicative…

Given the importance of mathematics identity for students continued participation and engagement with mathematics, it is important for educators and researchers to be able to explore students' mathematics identity development. However, an instrument with validity evidence that can be used to explore mathematics identity efficiently and with groups…

The purpose of this qualitative research study is to understand the process used for teacher-created online math assessments and the effect that online math assessments have on student engagement. Data for this qualitative study was collected and analyzed using Braun and Clarke's (2006) thematic analysis which uses key conceptual foundations in a…

Background: Schoolwide positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) is an evidence-based framework for implementing a continuum of behavior support practices in schools to improve student outcomes. Research suggests that students with extensive support needs (ESN) may not have access to the complete continuum of behavioral supports within…

The examination of the testing mode effect has received increased attention as higher education has shifted to remote testing during the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe the testing mode effect consists of four components: the ability to physically write on the test, the method of answer recording, the proctoring/testing environment, and the effect…

This study aimed to develop a valid and reliable scale that reveals secondary school pupils' attitudes toward science literacy. The survey model, one of the quantitative research methods, was used in the study. The validity and reliability study of the scale was carried out on secondary school pupils attending public schools in Turkey in the…

This research aimed to develop and validate a rubric to assess Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbots' effectiveness in accomplishing tasks, particularly within educational contexts. Given the rapidly growing integration of AI in various sectors, including education, a systematic and robust tool for evaluating AI chatbot performance is essential.…

While enabling students to refer to and build on peer-produced work (termed 'citing' herein) during content creation appears pedagogically promising, its associated learning effects remain under-studied. This research aimed at examining the effects of online citing of peer-generated assessment items during student test-construction on promoting…

Over the last several years, nationally disseminated course-based under graduate research experiences (CUREs) have emerged as an alternative to developing a novel CURE from scratch, but objective assessment of these multi-institution (network) CUREs across institutions is challenging due to differences in student populations, instructors, and…

Teachers are key users of classroom assessment data; however, their needs and preferences are often overlooked in the design and development of the assessments themselves. We used principles of Human-Centered Design (HCD) to systematically solicit, study, and integrate teachers' needs in the design and development of a classroom-based early…

Integrated reading-into-writing assessment has become increasingly common in second language English for Academic Purposes assessment. It is viewed as a means of potentially increasing the authenticity and therefore validity of assessment that aims to measure a candidate's readiness for the demands of academic writing. While there is a body of…

This study aimed to examine the practices of EFL teachers in test construction. It was conducted in six purposively selected secondary schools. The study addressed the following question: What are the practices of EFL teachers in test construction? The theoretical basis of the study was Bloom's taxonomy. The design of the study was a convergent…

This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties (factor structure, reliability and construct validity) of the Motivation of User-generated Technical Instructional Videos (MUTIV) scale. Employing a cross-sectional research design, two rounds of self-administered surveys were conducted in mainland China (N = 271/N = 318). Phase 1 involved…

Bias assessment (systematic errors) is fundamental in industry and service laboratories, where reliable results must be obtained to give correct answers to specific problems. Therefore, knowledge and practice in quality methodologies is of fundamental importance for students. Unfortunately, laboratory lessons often focus on connecting theory and…

The period of a child's growth and development that is most notable is from 0 to 8 years old. These are the years when all that is learned is laid down. Putting strong foundations in place today will yield big dividends later. Greater learning in the classroom and better educational results have a positive social and economic impact on society.…
