A value creation conceptual framework is used to analyse perceived value creation in intra-group assessment narratives of students in online team projects enrolled in Management courses. Emerging categorised themes organised under four domains including preparedness, contribution to productivity, respect for others, and flexibility, aligned with…

Background: Pain recognition and assessment in individuals with profound intellectual disabilities are challenging. Exploring effective methods of addressing this is essential. This study aims to discover current nursing practice in this area of care as the first of a four-phased appreciative inquiry study, to inform further research and practice.…

Background: Sketching exists in many disciplines and varies in how it is assessed, making it challenging to define fundamental sketching skills and the characteristics of a high-quality sketch. For instructors to apply effective strategies for teaching and assessing engineering sketching, a clear summary of the constructs, metrics, and objectives…

Assessment and evaluation are crucial to improving educational quality. Examining the opinions of teachers from various countries on in-class assessments can significantly enhance education systems. Similarities and differences in Uganda's and Turkey's educational systems justify comparing them. This study aimed to examine and compare the…

This report characterizes forms of dialogic support that a sixth-grade teacher generated during whole-class and small-group conversations to help students develop a practice of statistical modeling. During four weeks of instruction, students constructed and revised models to account for variability and uncertainty across a variety of random…

A necessary step in applying bi-factor models is to evaluate the need for domain factors with a general factor in place. The conventional null hypothesis testing (NHT) was commonly used for such a purpose. However, the conventional NHT meets challenges when the domain loadings are weak or the sample size is insufficient. This article proposes…

Diagnostic classification models (DCMs) have grown in popularity as stakeholders increasingly desire actionable information related to students' skill competencies. Longitudinal DCMs offer a psychometric framework for providing estimates of students' proficiency status transitions over time. For both cross-sectional and longitudinal DCMs, it is…

This research aimed to develop formative assessment rubrics for enhancing students' performance on Thai percussion instruments using the Many-Facet Rasch Measurement Partial Credit model (MFRM-PCM). Samples were high-school students playing four types of Thai instruments and the raters who were qualified and properly trained. The research…

Information technology advancements have facilitated the widespread adoption of online education, providing learners with more flexible and convenient means of accessing educational resources and completing learning tasks.

Assessment plays a critical role in instruction and curriculum. Existing literature on instructors' assessment practices and related factors has been intensively focused on primary and secondary education. This study extended the contexts of previous literature to post-secondary chemistry education by exploring general chemistry instructors'…

Item response theory (IRT) models the relationship between the possible scores on a test item against a test taker's attainment of the latent trait that the item is intended to measure. In this study, we compare two models for tests with polytomously scored items: the optimal scoring (OS) model, a nonparametric IRT model based on the principles of…
