In this paper, we set out to explore the world's first major standardised examination system. In the field of language testing and assessment, works such as measured words (Spolsky, 1995), measured constructs (Weir, Vidakovic & Galaczi, 2013), and Cambridge English exams -- the first hundred years (Hawkey & Milanovic, 2013) all point to…

Background: Researching the perspectives of people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD) presents complexity and uncertainty. Traditional research often prioritises rational, objectivist methods, which may overlook this complexity. Aims: This study aimed to develop methodological cues for researchers studying the perspectives…

This paper presents the experimental work developed to measure the learning process through concept map analysis. The development of a concept map is requested by the students for each chapter or theme of the subject. As a result, maps from engineering courses have been analyzed. The measurements carried out consider several parameters, such as…

Many students struggle with making sense of feedback information and in applying and transferring it to new contexts. Research literature suggests that low-performing students are especially at risk because they often do not understand assessment criteria and cannot utilise information they receive. This paper addresses this problem through…

This qualitative study examines the risks educators in Jordan face with the integration of ChatGPT, an emerging AI technology, into academic settings. While considerable attention has been given to risks affecting university students, there remains a gap in understanding the specific challenges encountered by educators themselves. Through…

Driven by technological innovations, continuous digital expansion has transformed fundamentally the landscape of modern higher education, leading to discussions about evaluation techniques. The emergence of generative artificial intelligence raises questions about reliability and academic honesty regarding multiple-choice assessments in online…

This study aimed to (1) examine the current status of education quality evaluation in Guangxi's application-oriented undergraduate universities, (2) develop an evaluation indicator system for the educational quality of application-oriented undergraduate colleges in Guangxi, and (3) examine the feasibility and adaptability of the evaluation…

Many university students, including first-year business education students (FYBES) in Ghana, struggle to adjust to academic demands and university life, leading to low engagement and satisfaction with academic experiences. Despite efforts to improve student engagement and satisfaction, the extent to which gender influence this relationship remains…

The Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering at University Jaume I has a capstone project in which the student develops, during a 300-hour internship in an enterprise, a real-world project. We collected data for five academic years to analyze the assessment process to propose a new hybrid model, which combines analytic and holistic assessment and…

This study investigates and contrasts the final year (capstone) engineering projects at three public universities in Southern Africa: Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT), Malawi University of Science and Technology (MUST), and Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST). The research examines their practices, structures,…

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…

With a greater focus on employability upon graduation, universities are increasingly considering how the course experience links to knowledge and skill development. To assist with skill development, industry practice and authentic activities should be embedded into the curriculum. Designing and including authentic assessment helps to replicate…

This study was conducted to validate the measurement model of the awareness of e-waste management among secondary school students. The study's respondents consisted of 1,000 students from Malaysian secondary schools, who were selected using a simple random sampling technique based on their school level. The constructs studied were knowledge,…

Assessment and evaluation are crucial to improving educational quality. Examining the opinions of teachers from various countries on in-class assessments can significantly enhance education systems. Similarities and differences in Uganda's and Turkey's educational systems justify comparing them. This study aimed to examine and compare the…

This research aimed to develop formative assessment rubrics for enhancing students' performance on Thai percussion instruments using the Many-Facet Rasch Measurement Partial Credit model (MFRM-PCM). Samples were high-school students playing four types of Thai instruments and the raters who were qualified and properly trained. The research…
