Problem solving is considered an essential ability for becoming an expert in physics, and individualized feedback on the structure of problem-solving processes is a key component to support students in developing this ability. Problem-solving processes consist of multiple elements whose order forms the sequential structure of these processes.…

Teachers' approaches and mindsets for assessment affect student learning, motivation, and social-emotional well-being. This systematic review examines how initial teacher education programs prepare teachers to enact one core purpose of classroom assessment--assessment for learning (AfL). AfL (also known as formative assessment) is a planned…

Assessing the learning outcomes from professional learning is crucial for understanding its impact, especially for training focusing on capability development. This paper explores the benefits of using scenario-based assessments to assess the immediate capability learning outcomes in professional learning settings. Existing research underscores…

This classroom-based action research (CBAR) corroborated our belief in the valuable role rubrics play in a tertiary L2 writing context where English is the medium of instruction. The three-stage CBAR involved ongoing discussions between us, two writing teacher-researchers, as we adapted our teaching and assessment strategies to explore the…

Synthesizing the breadth of current research on the teaching and learning of writing, the third edition of this definitive handbook has more than 90% new content, reflecting the growth and dynamism of the field. Leading scholars--including many international voices--review major theories, developmental issues, and instructional approaches for…

This bibliometric article examines the current state of publication in the field of classroom assessment, exploring the productivity and influence of countries, institutions, and authors. A search query of on the Scopus database using the term "classroom assessment" or "classroom-based assessment" or "assessment for…

Purpose: The paper aims to develop a coherent understanding of literacy assessment, one that draws on current conceptualising of assessment generally while accounting for the complexity of literacy and literacy development. It responds to The Foundation for Learning Literacy Touchstone #8, offering a view of assessment as an "eco-system"…

In this article, the authors describe how their NPD project aims to support bilingual classroom teachers' understanding and implementation of translanguaging as theory and practice. They share two practical tools they developed to help teachers approach formative assessment through a translanguaging lens. The first tool is a classroom conversation…

As a fundamental component of formative assessment, student self-assessment is considered "a sine qua non condition" for autonomous learners. Despite the extensive body of literature regarding principles and practice guidelines for student self-assessment, scant is the evidence about what instructional practices teachers use in classroom…

E-Learning has become a global phenomenon. It makes learning more accessible and acquisition of new skills and knowledge easier. In sub-Saharan Africa, however, online qualifications are often the subject of controversy regarding their recognition. This is clear evidence of unsuitable e-Learning systems, as well as the limited relevance of the…

Previous research findings of assessment in choir indicated that teachers favor non-performance criteria such as attendance and attitude over music knowledge and skill. Music education researchers have encouraged teachers to instead use measurable learning goals that inform teaching practices and document student growth. New assessment…

A typical practice of assessment in engineering studies, especially on large Bachelor level courses, is a final exam at the end of the course. This practice is problematic both in terms of learning and teaching, as it does not provide feedback on learning experience or student progress before the course is completed. This study examines the…

This study is developing a Deep Learning model automating the coding of drawings students provide about climate change phenomena in our world, as a learning contribution through formative assessment. We started first with ResNet50 architecture, but ultimately, we settled on MobileNetV2 reduced architecture for the sake of being able to integrate…

In recent years, the application of explainability techniques to automated essay scoring and automated short-answer grading (ASAG) models, particularly those based on transformer architectures, has gained significant attention. However, the reliability and consistency of these techniques remain underexplored. This study systematically investigates…

This article shares information from a research study with six high school mathematics teachers focused onthe elements that helped and/orhindered their ability to implement formative assessment practices,including learning targets, questioning, feedback,self-assessment, peer assessment, and instructional decisions in their classrooms. Although…
