The aim of the article is to analyse subdisciplines of management and quality and sub-indicators of the European Innovation Scoreboard (EIS) as a measure of innovation management: 1.1.1 "New doctorate graduates in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) per 1,000 population aged 25-34," 1.2.1 "International…

Research on assessment in the field of doctoral education remains an underexplored domain, particularly concerning the preconfirmation or probationary stage of candidature, when attrition is at its highest. We propose that the use of rubrics in this preconfirmation stage has the potential to improve feedback literacy and overall progression to…

Research evaluation (RE) has experienced a major global transformation prompted by the emergence and increasing usage of digital citation platforms such as the Web of Science and Scopus, opening up avenues for scientometric evaluation (SE). This relatively novel evaluation method represents an essential pillar for the scientific committees for…

There is an increasing understanding that assessment is an integral part of teaching and learning and that teachers are largely not adequately prepared for their assessment responsibilities. Consequently, there is a need for research on what teachers need to improve their assessment practices. To determine what Jamaican secondary school teachers…

Purpose: This study evaluated the impact of a faculty training program on student assessment using the Kirkpatrick model.

Subjective and objective measures (self-reported measures, assessment literacy inventory and performance-based…

The study investigates the process of creating evaluative homogeneity within a performance-based research funding system. It does so in reference to the experience of creating a national journal ranking in Poland in 2019. It refers to the cases of two disciplines: biology and history. The use of this case is justified by its unique character, that…

This review critically examines empirical evidence from 50 studies over two decades on technology-mediated self-assessment (TMSA) in higher education, providing a comprehensive overview of the tools used, and the benefits and challenges encountered in its application. The findings suggest that TMSA not only retains the benefits of traditional…

This paper investigates the use of metrics to recruit professors for academic positions. We analyzed confidential reports with candidate evaluations in economics, sociology, physics, and informatics at the University of Oslo between 2000 and 2017. These unique data enabled us to explore how metrics were applied in these evaluations in relation to…

Although studies have been conducted on educators' perceptions of assessment practices, few studies explored students' perceptions of the ethical issues in classroom assessment. A mixed design research method was used to examine factors associated with students' perceptions of the ethicality of classroom assessment practices. A sample of 1996…

Creation of reliable online assessments have always been a concern by educators, this research article provides an idea for providing professionals training development for creating online assessments for the inexperienced assessment literate teachers. The research has placed the importance on the training of the educators in the assessment…

This article presents a literature review of published research focused on challenging cheating in higher education.

The range of methods…

This study was to asses pre-service teachers' perception of thinking, acting and living (TAL) from 21st century skills. The participants who have filled out this questionnaire were 321 pre-service teachers, consisting of 38 men and 283 women from a population of 403 pre-service teachers of mathematics, biology, physics and chemistry. The goodness…

In this paper, we report an exploratory investigation of the types of assessment in a variety of high school subjects that best predicted subsequent success at university in those subjects. In social sciences and the humanities, internal (school-based) assessment was a better predictor of university success than external, examination-based…

Educational institutions strive to achieve their purposes mainly assessing students' performance and abilities; they might use traditional types of assessment or they may be forced to apply electronic assessment in certain situations such as those dictated by the current spread of COVID-19 Pandemic. The current study aims at providing insights…

Feedback on student work is a key mechanism for improving learning in higher education (HE) and can be provided in a variety of forms. Recently, many institutions have moved to the provision of electronic feedback, although evidence for the effectiveness of this is mixed. While many studies evaluating the students' perception of feedback are now…
