Self-monitoring encompasses observation of one's own behavior that can be used by teachers to improve their performance in the classroom. In this systematic review, we searched three databases to discover published research using teachers as participants implementing self-monitoring procedures in a school setting from January 1990 through October…

Although the number of publications on formative assessment in science education has long been high, there is no bibliometric analysis or scientific mapping in the literature to understand research trends in formative assessment research. This research aimed to examine the bibliometric results of articles on formative assessment in science…

Implementing formative assessment in large-enrollment statistics courses is recommended by mathematics and statistics education communities. Yet research maintains that large-enrollment courses employ few, if any, formative assessments, exacerbating negative attitudes toward statistics and low student achievement. This conceptual essay applies an…

Introduction: Instructors assign grades to communicate to students how well they are learning the course content. However, students and instructors are often displeased with the process and outcome of grading. Statement of the Problem: We contend that conventional grading inadvertently detracts from student learning and simultaneously replicates…

The phenomenon of statistics anxiety, prevalent particularly among students engaged in non-mathematical disciplines such as the social sciences, has been linked to a multitude of detrimental outcomes. Over time, several instruments have been developed to measure this construct; however, a comprehensive analysis of these instruments and an adequate…

Co-curricular and extra-curricular activities have traditionally been part of the student's application of knowledge and skills outside the structured curriculum. Co-curricular learning, in particular, is viewed as part of the student's authentic and real-life engagement with content often directed and administered by the program of study.…

The performance evaluation of e-learning in medical education has been the subject of much research lately. Researchers are yet to achieve a consensus on the definition of performance or the suitable constructs, metrics, models, and methods to help understand student performance. Through a systematic review, this study put forward a working…

Because of discrepancies among U.S. states regarding how they assess school-based agricultural education (SBAE) teacher performance and program quality, little knowledge has existed regarding how these differences might influence critical decisions regarding hiring, pay, promotion, and dismissal. In response, the purpose of our study was to…

Little is known about the nature of educational proficiency in evaluation practices in academia. This is unfortunate, since excellence in teaching is increasingly seen as significant for the prosperity of contemporary higher education institutions. This study explores the meaning ascribed to educational proficiency in the recruitment of academic…

This study conducts a bibliometric analysis to map the research trends and intellectual landscape surrounding the development of scientific literacy assessments in educational contexts from 2019 to 2023. Scientific literacy, which encompasses the ability to comprehend, evaluate, and apply scientific knowledge, has emerged as a crucial competency…

Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) is a core component of speech pathology practice. However, international literature has highlighted that speech language pathologists (SLPs) may not feel confident or competent in this area. Confidence and competence are critical factors in therapy as they can impact the quality-of-service…

Integrating literacy in science and mathematics learning and teaching has been an ongoing endeavour. There are frameworks developed to guide teachers' practices, but little is reported on assessing literacy simultaneously with scientific or mathematical content knowledge. We reviewed the literature on assessing literacy in science and mathematics…

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to elaborate on the opportunities and challenges to the application of portfolios as an assessment tool in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms at different educational levels in Vietnam, as explicitly and implicitly reported in the literature. Design: This study is a combination of a narrative review,…

Several major themes related to rethinking assessment emerged from a search of the papers published in "PRIMUS." Authors explored ways to change the stakes of assessments, often with outcomes-based grading and testing structures. They explored changing the "structure" of assessments by considering media beyond written exams and…

Many Americans dream of a college degree, but earning one requires time and money. As one solution, prior learning assessment (PLA) documents college-level learning gained outside the classroom for academic credit and can make the difference between earning or not earning a college degree. However, the literature lacks an integrative and…
