The study aimed to analyze the content validation of the STEM-integrated on thermal and transport concept inventory instrument used to measure the problem-solving abilities of high school students. The instrument questions developed amounted to nine description questions. This type of study is development research. The steps in this research are…

This article presents a ten-item short scale for measuring digital competence. The scale is based on the Digital Competence Framework for Citizens, DigComp2.1 (Carretero et al., 2017). For our surveys, we used five items from the DigCompSat study (Clifford et al., 2020) and created five new ones to address the competence areas defined by…

Assuring the quality of education is a concern of learning institutions. To do so, it is necessary to have assertive learning management, with consistent data on students' outcomes. This research provides associate deans and researchers, a roadmap with which to gather evidence to improve the quality of open-ended assessments. Based on statistical…

Background: Current evaluation methods for nurse anesthesia students primarily assess didactic knowledge while lacking measures to evaluate students' critical thinking and application of clinical knowledge in decision making (Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthetists [COA], 2022; Staun et al., 2020). Purpose: This study aimed to develop an…

Past research has shown that assessments of engineering students' transferable skills have not been properly investigated or incorporated into the practices of higher education institutions. This study addressed this gap by proposing a System for Assessing Engineering Students' Transferable Skills (SACTEE, in Portuguese), which includes scales for…

Peer evaluation consists of the evaluation of students by their peers following criteria or rubrics provided by the teacher, where the way to evaluate students is specified so that they achieve the desired competencies. The quality of the measurement instrument must meet two essential criteria: validity and reliability. In this research, we…

Digital competence is a basic skill for citizens and should be systematically assessed, taking into account characteristics such as knowledge, skills and attitudes. However, measuring and identifying the digital competence of students is still a major challenge. To this end, the indicator model (INCODIES) has been developed and validated following…

While previous studies on assessments focused on measurement of principles and constructs, existing attention is given to content validation involving vocational education and skills. The emphasis on content validation has prompted a holistic perspective of teaching and learning to demand alternative research approaches. Using evidence of content…

Assessing preservice' higher order thinking skills (HOTS) in science and mathematics is essential. Teachers' HOTS ability is closely related to their ability to create HOTS-type science and mathematics problems. Among various types of HOTS, one is Bloomian HOTS. To facilitate the preservice teacher to create problems in those subjects, an Android…

To developed an educational tool for an online OSCE to evaluate the practice readiness of the fourth-year nursing students. Online professional proficiency evaluation of nursing students can be a valid alternative to traditional methods. We designed a one group pre-posttest study. The 51 nursing students were recruited.

The resources and time constraints of assessing large classes are always weighed up against the validity, reliability, and learning outcomes of the assessment tasks. With the digital revolution in the 21st Century, educators can benefit from computer technology to carry out a large-scale assessment in higher education more efficiently. In this…

The self-report and think-aloud approaches are the two dominant methodologies to measure metacognition. This is problematic, since they generate respondent and confirmation biases, respectively. The Meta-Performance Test is an innovative battery, which evaluates metacognition based on the respondent's performance, mitigating the aforementioned…
