The Give-N (give-a-number) task has become a popular assessment of children's number words and counting knowledge since Wynn's (1990, 1992) seminal work over 30 years ago. Using the Give-N task, numerous studies have shown that children learn the first few number words slowly, before they understand how counting represents number. This learning…

Knowledge maps have been widely used in knowledge elicitation and representation to evaluate and guide students' learning. To effectively evaluate maps, instructors must select the most informative map features that capture students' knowledge constructs. However, there is currently no clear and consistent criteria to select such features, as…

The arrival of ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence (AI) has caused considerable concern for educators worldwide, many of whom are still recovering from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the debate continues around the use of AI in education, one approach to ensure students are achieving their learning objectives, the oral exam or…

False alarming, or detecting an error when there is not one, is a pervasive problem across numerous industries. The present study investigated the role of elaboration, or additional information about non-error differences in complex visual displays, for mitigating false error responding. In Experiment 1, learners studied errors and non-error…

Appetite for entrepreneurship education (EE) among vocational students has surged dramatically, driven by persistent challenges of unemployment. As a result, vocational institutions are increasingly focused on how much entrepreneurship exposure students receive, particularly how frequently instructors impart core business knowledge and skills to…

According to architectural designers, although they are aware of the sound environment when designing spaces, in many cases visual (design) and cost (cost-effectiveness, etc.) were the predominant factors. In many cases, the visual (design) and cost aspects (cost-effectiveness, etc.) were dominant. The tacit rule for evaluating the sound…

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…

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,…

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…

This dissertation is prepared to explain the research conducted to study the extent of instruction that school psychology graduate students are receiving on strengths-based assessment in their training programs. Strengths-based assessment is the process of intentionally measuring strengths rather than solely measuring deficits. The positive…

The role of knowledge and reading comprehension has seen a recent explosion of attention from researchers, journalists, and policy advocates. Much of this discourse describes knowledge in neutral terms such as knowledge of "the world". That knowledge of the world, however, is woven into the fabric of the gendered world we live in and its…

A review of studies analyzing the statistical knowledge of primary schoolchildren (6-12 years old) is carried out. Based on a review in JCR/SSCI, Scopus, Eric, Google Scholar, Science Direct, World Scientific, Springer, and Wiley Online library, 18 articles (2003-2021) have been identified and analyzed based on two objectives: (1) to identify the…

Teachers' perceptions, attitudes, and opinions about students, curricula, or evaluation methods contribute to the development of students' talents. Thus, researchers often collect data from teachers to identify gifted students, determine educational practices to meet the students' needs and assess gifted education programs. Researchers often…

Short answer assessment is a vital component of science education, allowing evaluation of students' complex three-dimensional understanding. Large language models (LLMs) that possess human-like ability in linguistic tasks are increasingly popular in assisting human graders to reduce their workload. However, LLMs' limitations in domain knowledge…

Educational research plays a crucial role in the advancement of knowledge in the teaching profession. In fact, raising the quality standards in education necessitates teachers' engagement in different levels and dimensions of research. To this end, improving teachers' research literacy is an essential first step, which also entails assessing the…
