This systematic review sheds light on the role of ontologies in predicting achievement among online learners, in order to promote their academic success. In particular, it looks at the available literature on predicting online learners' performance through ontological machine-learning techniques and, using a systematic approach, identifies the…

The discipline of performance analysis is founded upon the collection and analysis of objective and reliable data to support the coaching process. While research has begun to identify the potential importance of trust in applied sporting environments, there remains a paucity of inquiry that seeks to explicitly investigate trustworthiness in the…

Carefully designed evaluations of informal science events are key to gaining insights into their efficacy and impact on audiences. However, traditional approaches to evaluation, such as interviews and questionnaires, can be disruptive to the audience experience of science events. There is therefore a need to develop and implement new evaluation…

This article delved into the realm of EFL assessment in Iraq by investigating the beliefs of Iraqi EFL teachers about assessment practices they employed in their classroom and determining whether there was any congruency between their beliefs and actual assessment practices. For this purpose, 140 experienced Iraqi EFL teachers were selected by…

We are at a critical moment for assessment in schools. Teachers are called to navigate advances in classroom assessment research, top-down assessment policies, and lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on teaching and learning. Embedded in this context are also systemic challenges to teachers' assessment practice. This paper analyses these…

This study explores Hong Kong higher education students' perceptions of E-assessment systems, focusing on factors shaping acceptance of E-examinations over traditional formats. Quantitative analysis of 107 respondents reveals significant positive correlations between diverse pre-exam guidance (e.g., tutorials) and key system features (e.g.,…

This study evaluates the research performance of faculty at the Autonomous University of Sinaloa, Mexico, using the h-index to analyze disciplinary differences and institutional trends. The aim was to identify research productivity patterns and their implications for policy-making within international standards. A mixed-methods approach, including…

The rapid development of higher education in China has significantly advanced physical education within universities, contributing to students' comprehensive development and national health improvement. However, the expansion of university enrollment has introduced challenges such as a decrease in per capita sports resources and declines in…

Cross-site comparisons indicate that East Asian children typically excel on tests of executive function (EF), but interpreting this contrast is made difficult by both the heavy reliance on testing in school settings and by the scarcity of studies that assess across-site measurement invariance. Addressing these gaps, our study included remote…

Although an increasing amount of research has focussed on the relationship between student language proficiency and English-medium instruction (EMI) programme outcomes, there has been little focus on the broader assessment of progress and learning within EMI programmes, especially in Asia. The purpose of this study was to determine the kinds of…

This paper presents a new integrated model for documentation and evaluation tested in 2021 on Back Into the Wild project, an Adventure Education project by Equilibero Association (Padova-Treviso, Italy). The project proposes educational walks to groups of at-risk adolescents to promote their psychophysical and relational well-being. Due to the…

The academic success of students in higher education institutions (HEIs) depends on a multitude of factors, including the assessment strategies employed. In recent years, many HEIs have prioritised continuous assessment methods, often as a complement to or replacement for traditional final exams. This study examined the impact of two assessment…

The objectives of this study were: 1) to study the components and indicators of innovators in primary school teachers, and 2) to examine the consistency of the components model and indicators of innovators in primary school teachers with empirical data. The participants were 220 primary teachers under the Office of the Basic Education Commission…

We live in an increasingly worrying future, where researchers are looking at how we can create education for a sustainable world. In this study we investigate what such education could look like, especially for young students, reinforcing hope and an ability to act and come up with ideas of sustainable solutions with no obvious 'good' solution.…

This work tested the hypothesis that the academic performance of students in a distance learning course in Biological Sciences (PBS-CEDERJ) decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic in disciplines with and without practical activities. Performance was quantified via students' grades in PBS-CEDERJ disciplines in pre-pandemic years (2018 and 2019) and…
