Evaluation is essential to achieving program outcomes, especially when stakeholders engage with evaluation and make use of the findings. Both of these activities require evaluation capacity that might not be present in community-based organizations. In this paper, we describe how community-university partnership models can support evaluation…

In graduate evaluation education, research has shown that theory to practice is overshadowed by a focus on practical methods which results in evaluation education tension and a tenuous understanding of evaluation theory to practice when evaluators complete their graduate studies. Little is understood about evaluation theory to practice from…

This article aimed to map the evaluation use, identify the affecting factors, and analyze how they are related in the context of the Brazilian graduate evaluation system, which involves more than 7,000 master's and doctoral programs. Interviews were conducted with a representative sample of Professors, Graduate Program Coordinators, and Research…

Intrinsic inequity in assessment refers to sources of harmful discrimination inherent in the design of assessment tools and systems. This study seeks to understand intrinsic inequity in assessment systems by studying assessment policies and associated procedures in residency training, using general pediatrics as a discourse case study. Foucauldian…

An accurate self-assessment repertoire is crucial for maintaining high standards of practice, or a scope of competence, among behavior analysts. However, procedural means to achieve this remain underexplored. Medical communities have investigated these effects and largely found that accuracy in self-assessment is poor, with an inverse relation…

This study describes a theory-informed application of data science methods to analyze the quality of reflections made in a health professions education program over time. One thousand five hundred reflections written by a cohort of 369 dental students over 4 years of academic study were evaluated for an overall measure of reflection depth (No,…

In response to a call for more research on evaluator education, this paper explores the use of role-play as an in-class activity for students in a graduate course in evaluation. We describe the activity in detail and use the Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes taxonomy as a tool to describe the cognitive complexity of student responses in the…

A value creation conceptual framework is used to analyse perceived value creation in intra-group assessment narratives of students in online team projects enrolled in Management courses. Emerging categorised themes organised under four domains including preparedness, contribution to productivity, respect for others, and flexibility, aligned with…

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…

We developed the Counsellor Personal Wellness and Professional Wellbeing (CPW) assessment based on the integration of the Well-Being theory and the Indivisible Self Model of Wellness (IS-WEL). Our participants included 326 counsellors, counsellor educators, and counsellors-in-training in the United States. The participants primarily identified as…

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the competency characteristics required for the employment of master's degree students in educational technology. Design/methodology/approach: A combined qualitative and quantitative method was used to consult multiple experts through a modified Delphi method. Competency characteristics were…

Student engagement is an important component in online learning environments; therefore, it is important to understand the most effective methods of student engagement in online education. Many of the current methods for assessing student engagement are linked to student performance in online learning. Using person-centered Classroom Assessment…

This article is based on studies carried out within the "Young children's learning" research education programme. This undertaking involved five graduate students, all recruited from the Swedish preschool system. The licentiate thesis makes up the final product of their education programme, and the focus of each candidate's licentiate…

Design science research (DSR) is an appropriate method for postgraduate-level (MSc) thesis work, where the students need to combine and apply theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills to solve practical problems. Students face considerable challenges, however, when applying DSR in timeboxed situations with limited competences. In this paper, I…

Graduate higher education coverage has expanded worldwide due to globalisation, the demand for more specialised human resources and online education, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This article validates an evaluation model of academic service quality in graduate studies that integrates HiEduQual instruments with the Kano method for…
