This study examined the mediating role of three manifestations of test anxiety in the relation of self-oriented perfectionism (SOP) and socially prescribed perfectionism (SPP) with school achievement and internalising behaviours, among 1212 Canadian students (M[subscript age] = 16.68). Results revealed that SPP was indirectly and negatively…

Scores of different language tests intended for similar purposes (e.g., admission to higher education) are used to determine candidates' language proficiency and readiness for a chosen domain. To be fair to all students irrespective of the test they took, score requirements should be comparable. Score concordance tables provide an empirical basis…

Peter Seban; Kamila Urban; Radovan Sikl – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2025
Although learning approaches are designed to enhance individuals' ability to store and retrieve information, not all of them are considered effective. The goal of the present study was to experimentally compare the test performance as well as the accuracy of metacognitive judgements of a multiple text reading group, rereading group, and single…

Agustín Barroilhet; Mónica Silva; Kurt F. Geisinger – Higher Education Policy, 2025
Merit-based procedures should be constantly reevaluated according to the circumstances to remain both valid and fair--two interrelated concepts. Inducing reevaluation, however, is difficult. These procedures are controlled by legitimate authorities, are rule and contract-bound, and can become quickly entrenched. This resistance to change calls for…

Frank Morley; Emma Walland – Research Matters, 2025
The recent development of Large Language Models (LLMs) such as Claude, Gemini, and GPT has led to widespread attention on potential applications of these models. Marking exams is a domain which requires the ability to interpret and evaluate student responses (often consisting of written text), and the potential for artificial intelligence (AI)…

Purpose: Measurement of swallowing muscle mass is important in determining sarcopenic dysphagia. Ultrasound equipment can measure the cross-sectional area of the swallowing muscles, but the inter-instrument reliability is unknown. In this study, the inter-instrument reliability was investigated. Methods: Three ultrasound devices were used to…

Daniel Asamoah; Masitah Shahrill; Siti Norhedayah Abdul Latif – Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice, 2025
Assessment literacy in post-colonial contexts remains underexplored. This study examines the assessment conceptions and practices of 431 secondary school teachers in Brunei and Ghana using a survey-based design. Latent Profile Analysis revealed distinct profiles among Bruneian teachers, ranging from summative-driven and precision-oriented to…

John Dobson – Advances in Physiology Education, 2025
Among the "desirable difficulty" (DD) strategies developed by cognitive scientists, retrieval practice and distributed practice are two of the most robust and advantageous. This study evaluated a three-component intervention to enhance student learning that consisted of instruction about the advantages of retrieval and distributed…

Jonathan C. Rann; Amit Almor – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2025
We report results from two experiments that examined the time course of vigilance decrements during a demanding multitasking scenario. Specifically, we implemented a novel paradigm in two experiments in which a total of 123 participants performed a go-no-go target detection continuous performance test (CPT) task simultaneously with a driving-based…

J. Helgi Clayton McClure; Scott N. Cole; Krystian Barzykowski – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2025
Despite extensive research on motivational factors in academic performance, little is known about the role of ongoing conscious thought. Mind-wandering has been linked with poor educational outcomes, yet can also benefit goal-directed behaviour. We reasoned that mind-wandering should benefit exam performance under certain motivational conditions,…

Lachlan McGinness; Peter Baumgartner – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
This paper explores the potential of large language models to accurately extract and translate equations from typed student responses into a standard format. This is a useful task as standardized equations can be graded reliably using a computer algebra system or a satisfiability modulo theories solver. Therefore physics instructors interested in…

San Martín, Ernesto; González, Jorge – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2022
The nonequivalent groups with anchor test (NEAT) design is widely used in test equating. Under this design, two groups of examinees are administered different test forms with each test form containing a subset of common items. Because test takers from different groups are assigned only one test form, missing score data emerge by design rendering…

Carlsen, Cecilie Hamnes; Rocca, Lorenzo – Language Policy, 2022
During the past decades, migration policies in Western societies have grown stricter by the day. As part of this retrenchment, migrants are required to pass language tests to gain access to human and democratic rights such as residency, family reunification, and citizenship, as well as to enter the labour market or higher education. The use of…

Research Findings: Children are increasingly using touchscreen technologies at home, which has become a recurring feature within their classroom too. Research has investigated the potential effect of using computer-based tests to assess pupils' performance rather than traditional paper tests. An agreement has still not been formed about the impact…

Katherine A. Reynolds; Maya Komakhidze; Bethany Fishbein; Matthias von Davier – International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement, 2024
Student well-being has emerged as a topic of considerable interest to researchers and educators. Recent work has sought to examine relationships between measures of student well-being and other constructs such as academic achievement, physical health, relationships with peers, and engagement in learning. Reading assessment and context…
