This study aims to suggest a generalized class of estimators for population proportion under simple random sampling, which uses auxiliary attributes. The bias and MSEs are considered derived to the first degree approximation. The validity of the suggested and existing estimators is assessed via an empirical investigation. The performance of…

This study presents several multivariate Generalizability theory designs for analyzing automatic item-generated (AIG) based test forms. The study used real data to illustrate the analysis procedure and discuss practical considerations. We collected the data from two groups of students, each group receiving a different form generated by AIG. A…

Eye tracking has taken hold in second language acquisition (SLA) and bilingualism as a valuable technique for researching cognitive processes, yet a comprehensive picture of reporting practices is still lacking. Our systematic review addressed this gap. We synthesized 145 empirical eye-tracking studies, coding for 58 reporting features and…

Adaptive learning technologies (ALTs) provide teachers with student data in teacher dashboards (TDs). However, there is substantial variation in dashboard use among teachers, and many find it difficult to draw conclusions based on student data. Teachers' skills, knowledge, and contextual conditions are believed to be essential in effective…
