This study assessed the relationship between preschoolers' directly and indirectly assessed emotion word comprehension. Forty-nine two-to-five-year-old Norwegian children were assessed in a tablet-based 4-alternative forced choice (AFC) task on their comprehension of six basic and six complex emotions using facial expression photographs. Parents…

An assessment for learning approach is foundational for student learning. The necessity to shift teaching and learning online as a response to COVID-19 has propelled digital assessment into the mainstream within higher education institutions. User experience is a common indicator of effectiveness of technologically enhanced initiatives; however,…

This study aimed to investigate the impact of using scoring rubrics on assessing the performance of students in achievement. The study followed an experimental approach, and the sample consisted of 187 male and female students enrolled in the Calculus course. They were divided into three groups: the first experimental group, whose performance was…

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…

Studies reporting flexible assessment strategies and their impact across different modes of study remain limited with little emphasis placed on the role these arrangements play in devising authentic assessment processes. This paper synthesises recent research work depicting flexible design principles and practice strategies for how educators might…

A challenge for professional psychology programs is the assessment of students' professional competence. Despite its potential, objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) has not gained widespread use in the psychological field. However, at Umeå University and Örebro University in Sweden, the OSCE has been introduced at the Clinical…

To do this well, micro-credentials need to indicate skills and competencies. Assessment ensures those skills and competencies are verified, enabling trust and communication in the…

Assessment experiences of ethnic minority students in UK higher education present complex challenges in identifying salient barriers to inclusive practice. Ethnic minority students can be excluded by a range of factors which include the procedure, content and context of assessment. By analysing twelve narratives of British Pakistani male…

This article examines the role and pedagogical implications of supportive assessment strategies at the interface where curriculum, general "Didaktik" and pedagogy meet; theoretically, the article draws upon concepts from research in each of those domains. This interplay is examined in relation to the performance-orientation on two…

The study aims to investigate the mediating role of output, productivity, and outcome variables in the relationship between input or process variables and research performance. By examining how these variables interact, the study aims to enhance our understanding of the factors that influence research performance. This role was investigated using…
