This study reports on Ghanaian junior high school (JHS) mathematics teachers' use of selected assessment for learning strategies in their mathematics classroom. Many JHS teachers may not be familiar with assessment for learning (AfL) strategies to enhance pupils' learning. This qualitative, intervention research employed an educational design…

This study explores how students evaluate their satisfaction with online classes. Data from three focus groups of undergraduate and graduate students was analyzed using Thematic Collation and Thematic Analysis to illuminate how students evaluate their satisfaction with online classes. Student satisfaction with online learning emerged as a lived…

The use of technology for teaching and learning has created a paradigm shifting in learning environments and learning process, and also the paradigm shifting has also affected the assessment processes. In addition to these, online environments provide more opportunities to assess of the learners. In this study, the Adaptive Mastery Testing (AMT)…

More than half of the students who start this year at a community college will not return to the same institution the following year.

This study examined which teaching methods are most highly correlated with student progress on relevant course objectives in first- and second-year (lower-level) general education courses. We specifically sought to identify teaching methods that distinguish progress made by students taking a general education course from that made by students…

Despite the importance of goals in educational theories, goals in master's thesis projects are rarely investigated. Therefore, this study explores how goals play a role in master's thesis supervision in terms of: defining the goals (up-component); locating where the student stands in relation to the goals (back-component); and how the student can…

Governments and multilateral organizations frequently employ comparative studies, which are receiving increased attention in the contemporary process of globalization. Within the assessment of educational policies, this comparison is used to define the parameters of quality and the models of efficiency, and it allows us to see the roles that…

The notion of alignment has become increasingly prominent in efforts to improve student learning today. The term, as used in this paper, refers to the linking of intended student learning outcomes with the processes and practices needed to foster those outcomes. Alignment is not a new idea, but it has become more salient as increasing numbers of…

This input paper explores what we mean by the digital and green transitions in the context of education and learning. Numerous documents exist that outline the EU-level policy goals and priorities for the twin transitions and set a course for the education sector's engagement with these agendas.
