In an online learning environment, it is important to establish a suitable assessment approach that can be adapted on the fly to accommodate the varying learning paces of students. At the same time, it is essential that assessment criteria remain compliant with the expected learning outcomes of the relevant education standard which predominantly…

Primary schools are key settings for social-emotional and mental health promotion. Reviews have assessed the effectiveness of primary school interventions delivered universally to all pupils for improving child social-emotional and mental health outcomes. This is the first study to review economic evaluations of such interventions and their value…

Teachers' knowledge and skills about data-based instruction (DBI) can influence their self-efficacy and their implementation of DBI with fidelity, ultimately playing a crucial role in improving student outcomes. The purpose of this brief report is to provide evidence for the technical adequacy of a measure of DBI knowledge and skills in writing by…

To address needs in one US state to provide a professional development micro-credential for tens of thousands of educators, we automated an assignment scoring workflow in an online course by developing and refining an AI model to scan submitted assignments and score them against a rubric. This article outlines the AI model development process and…

Considering the importance of mathematics in modern society, it is crucial to understand the cognitive processes involved in the acquisition of complex mathematical competency. As a new generation of evaluation theory, cognitive diagnosis has its unique advantages in personalized evaluation. Based on the mathematical cognitive framework of Trends…

Background: Teachers' perspectives provide crucial insights into classroom practice in early childhood education settings. Although many kindergarten programmes emphasise play "and" assessment to support children's learning and development, recent research suggests that there are some disparities between teachers' articulated role of…

Despite the identified benefits of formative assessment to teaching and learning, its implementation in the classroom remains a significant challenge to teachers. This has widened the gap between the theory and practice of formative assessment in the classroom to enhance students' learning. This study investigated the potential resource-related…

This research paper examines the application and performance of gamification through the use of Kahoot in elementary Mathematics classrooms. The participants were 10 elementary school Mathematics teachers from across the United States. All data were collected over one semester through interviews questions and, subsequently, findings presented a…

Background/Context: In the early elementary grades, many students do not achieve literacy proficiency due to inadequate personalized literacy instruction (Taylor et al., 2010). Despite increasing evidence that differentiated instruction informed by assessments of students' reading abilities can improve learning more effectively than…

As a result of federal and state laws, it is necessary to identify an accurate predictor of student achievement before administering the state-mandated test. School districts are increasingly administering "benchmark assessments" throughout the year to measure students' progress and provide teachers with data about adjusting instruction.…

Evaluation of child-friendly school (CFS) policies is essential to determine the achievements of school efforts in reducing violence cases. This research aims to proving the reliability and validity of CFS policy evaluation instruments in elementary schools with different locations. This investigation uses the Context Input Process Product (CIPP)…

Writing and mathematics are essential in academic achievement. In the present study, we investigated whether writing skills and mathematics skills are related and if so, whether their relation is moderated by participants' grade level (a proxy for developmental phase), subskills of mathematics and writing skills, and assessment characteristics…

The present research aims to develop a valid and reliable instrument to measure teachers' observation skills. The research was conducted during the 2023-2024 academic year with 651 teachers. Data were collected through online survey methods. Expert opinion was consulted for the content and face validity of the scale in the research. Exploratory…

This current study aims to determine the factors affecting teachers' attitudes towards e-portfolios by using data mining methods such as the Classification and Regression Tree (CART) algorithm and Random Forest (RF) algorithm. The study group consists of 449 participants willing to participate on a volunteer basis. In the study, the data were…
