Everyone uses a traditional five-point grading system to assess students' activities, however, it is not always possible to objectively evaluate students' work using this method. Therefore, the authors use the criteria-based student assessment system in our lessons. The purpose of this article was to compile a model of a system for assessing…

This study analyzes the effect of the i-Ready program on Yorkship Family School kindergarteners and focuses on educating kindergarteners on computer-use, to tackle the i-Ready program. The i-Ready program makes it easier for the teachers to specialize in their instructions to each student and enhance effectiveness (Fokides & Zachristou, 2020).…

"cpm.4.CSE/IRT" ("c"ompact "p"rocess "m"odel for "C"ompetence "S"cience "E"ducation based on "IRT" models) is a process model for competence measurement based on IRT models. It allows the efficient development of measuring instruments for computer science education.…

In this dissertation, I argue that web development can play a pivotal role in developing computational thinking as well as provide a stepping stone to an advanced mastery of computation. The preceding literature has extensively examined not only how learners practice computational thinking with a wide array of programming languages, but also how…

The rise of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to the overhaul of the conduct of teaching and learning particularly in the assessment of learners during a time of crisis trapped in many structural and practical challenges. This study examines the assessment practices and strategies to protect its quality and integrity in the delivery of teaching and…

Collaborative problem solving is a complex skill set that draws on social and cognitive factors. The construct remains in its infancy due to lack of empirical evidence that can be drawn upon for validation. The differences and similarities between two large-scale initiatives that reflect this state of the art, in terms of underlying assumptions…

Assessment studies using structural equation modeling and Rasch Model have long been prominent in all areas of educational psychology. Their emphases have covered, but have not been limited to, the improvement of quality in teaching, learning, and research as well as the pursuit of research productivity. However, such methodological approaches…

The sudden and rapid changes in the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic have led to a shift in the educational methods used in educational facilities. Challenges faced by both students and lecturers have led to a quality difference in the education provided. This study was carried out on students who joined EFL English-99 and English-101 courses…

Drawing on duoethnography, the teacher researchers in the present study interacted with the relevant literature, engaged in dialogs, and shared artifacts to examine their knowledge, beliefs, and practices regarding fairness and justice considerations in technology-enhanced language classroom assessment. Under the domain of knowledge, they…

As online educational programs and courses increase (Allen & Seaman, [Allen, I. E., 2014]), it is important to understand the benefits and limitations of this delivery format when assessing students and when comparing learning outcomes. This article addresses the following two questions: (1) What are some of the best practices in assessing…

Examining the testing processes, as well as the scores, is needed for a complete understanding of validity and fairness of computer-based assessments. Examinees' rapid-guessing and insufficient familiarity with computers have been found to be major issues that weaken the validity arguments of scores. This study has three goals: (a) improving…

Although the study of place in the fields of composition and education has a long and compelling history, the concept has taken on increased importance in today's digital landscape. As perceptions of places shift, we're challenged to understand how and which places shape who we are. Due to its potential power to leverage student choice,…

Information and communication technology (ICT) literacy education has become an important issue, and the necessity of computational literacy (CL) has been increasing in our growing information society. CL is becoming an important element for future talents, and many countries, including the USA, are developing programs for CL education.…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of an online automated evaluation and feedback system that assessed students' word processing assignments prepared with Microsoft Office Word. The participants of the study were 119 undergraduate teacher education students, 86 of whom were female and 32 were male, enrolled in different…

Employing emerging technologies in learning is becoming increasingly important as a means to support the development of digital media literacy.
