This study investigated the impact of computer-aided assessment on the enhancement of critical thinking skills in non-routine problem-solving across three distinct learning delivery modalities: fully online, balanced blended, and predominantly face-to-face (F2F) blended. The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of computer-aided assessment in…

Autism spectrum disorder presents as a multifaceted condition characterized by pronounced impairments in social communication and behavioral patterns. Diagnosis hinges upon the expertise of clinicians, comprehensive developmental history, and observation of specific behavioral markers. However, in low-income countries, access to screening tools…

This study explored the similar and different characteristics of the self-drawings produced by Taiwanese and South Korean children. The 94 participants comprised 4- and 5-year-old Taiwanese (n = 48, 24 boys) and South Korean (n = 46, 29 boys) children with comparable sociodemographic backgrounds. Three aspects of their self-drawings were…

Students from diverse backgrounds often face challenges that are not in parallel with the evolution of equitable assessments in higher education. Thus, this study employed the UTAUT model with the inclusion of additional constructs, namely self-efficacy and technology awareness, to examine the intention to use online assessments among diverse…

In this article, we adopt culturally relevant perspectives on developmental science that acknowledge and value the diversity of backgrounds and experiences of young children and their families to identify opportunities to advance the measurement of early childhood development. We focus on direct child assessments that can drive more equitable…

This study examines the relationships between three accommodation strategies--Extended Time (ET) only, breaks only, and breaks bundled with ET--and academic performance, test-taking behavior, and attitudes among eighth-grade students with disabilities who participated in the 2017 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) mathematics…

Amalgamating generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI), Bloom's taxonomy and critical thinking present a promising avenue to revolutionize assessment pedagogy and foster higher-order cognitive skills needed for learning autonomy in the domain of self-directed learning. Gen AI, a subset of artificial intelligence (AI), has emerged as a…

This report presents normative data for the easyCBM reading and mathematics assessment system, designed for students in Grades K-8 to support academic screening and progress monitoring. The normative indices provide educators with reliable benchmarks for identifying students at risk for academic difficulties, setting growth targets, and evaluating…

Background/purpose: Education continues to evolve along with technological advances, and one of the biggest changes is the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the learning process. The main problem in this study is the lack of in-depth understanding of the factors that influence the effectiveness of using AI in self-paced learning…

This systematic review examines the factors that facilitate student performance in oral assessments at the undergraduate and master's levels across diverse academic disciplines. As higher education increasingly shifts from traditional written assessments to alternative summative methods--partly in response to the rise of generative artificial…

This quasi-experimental study compared the effects of Computer-assisted Hybrid Dynamic Assessment (HDA) and Interventionist Dynamic Assessment (IDA) on the development of organizational writing skills in L2, aiming to improve both assessment and instruction within Chinese EFL context. A total of 85 first-year university students in China…

Assessment in education has shifted from summative to formative models in recent decades, with technological advancements facilitating flexible implementation anytime and anywhere. Stemming from this phenomenon, this study aims to identify the trends in mathematics learning assessment in Southeast Asia through a systematic literature review (SLR)…

Priming incoming and second-year college students with questions about effort prior to completing low-stakes assessments has increased test-taking effort. We extended this research by randomly assigning college seniors to one of three priming conditions prior to completing low-stakes assessments: answering three questions about intended effort…

The transition from school to higher education brings substantial academic pressure for many young adults in India, where competitive examinations often determine professional and educational pathways. As a result, students commonly experience heightened anxiety, which may affect both their mental well-being and exam performance. Understanding…

This study aims to disclose the Iranian university teachers' perceptions of the fundamentals of language assessment literacy (LAL). To this aim, using purposive sampling, eighteen university teachers from two Iranian universities were invited to participate in semi-structured interviews. Their viewpoints were audio-recorded, transcribed, and…
