Mathematical calculations are an important part of chemistry. Those problems are difficult for students, especially if the task is set with a limiting reactant. The aim of this study was development of a Procedure for evaluation of cognitive complexity of the Stoichiometric Tasks with a Limiting Reactant. The procedure created included an…

Peer assessment can be a more effective pedagogical method when reviewers provide quality feedback. But what makes feedback helpful to reviewees? Other studies have identified quality feedback as focusing on detecting problems, providing suggestions, or pointing out where changes need to be made. However, it is important to seek students'…

To address the computational constraints of parameter estimation in the polytomous Cognitive Diagnosis Model (pCDM) in large-scale high data volume situations, this study proposes two two-stage polytomous attribute estimation methods: P_max and P_linear. The effects of the two-stage methods were studied via a Monte Carlo simulation study, and the…

In recent years, game-based learning has shown significant promise for creating engaging and effective learning experiences. Developing models that can predict whether students will struggle with mastering certain concepts could guide adaptive support to assist students with mastering those concepts. Game-based learning environments offer…

The proposed session sought to engage participants in a discussion about building assessment practices with students, as opposed to for students. Critical pedagogy may provide one way to redefine this previously uni-directional practice (Keesing-Styles, 2003). This approach concentrates student experience at the center of assessment, causing a…

This article examines and discusses disaster management in architectural education in Turkey. Given Turkey's geographical location and its susceptibility to disasters, it is crucial for architectural education to address this topic and equip future architects with relevant knowledge and skills. Through a comprehensive literature review, we explore…

Equitable and accessible classrooms should engage all learners with mathematics content in meaningful ways. However, practicing teachers need support from professional development (PD) to learn to teach with this ambitious vision. Informed by sociocultural theory, we employed an evaluative case study methodology to describe, explain, and assess…

This study demonstrates the importance of Rasch Measurement Theory (RMT) in program evaluation when outcome measures need to be constructed from scratch. The paper introduces typical measure validation methods presented in program evaluation texts and discusses room for improvement. The study then illustrates how the seamless transitions from…

The current research paper investigates the impact of McCarthy's 4MAT model on developing writing skills among upper-grade primary pupils. Sixty-four pupils in six primary-stage grades were chosen as the study participants and were divided randomly into two matched groups (a control group and an experimental one). The researcher adopted the…

The effectiveness of feedback in enhancing learning outcomes is well documented within Educational Data Mining (EDM). Various prior research have explored methodologies to enhance the effectiveness of feedback to students in various ways. Recent developments in Large Language Models (LLMs) have extended their utility in enhancing automated…

Peer review is generally regarded as a useful learning tool for students, providing them with opportunities to interact with their peers when engaging in the process of critical reading and critical thinking, thus possibly raising students' motivation to learn. For peer review to be a manageable task for students, appropriate scaffolding is…

Mathematical reasoning is foundational to making sense of mathematics. Yet assessing mathematical reasoning can be challenging for teachers. This paper reports on a project where teachers taught two lessons with a specific focus on reasoning and came together with other teachers at their school to attempt to assess the reasoning of their students.…

A successful flipped classroom relies heavily on student engagement in pre-class learning and their active participation in classroom activities. However, much to students' disappointment, their efforts in the learning process often go unnoticed in traditional assessment approaches (such as term papers and final examinations) that are more…

Human essay grading is a laborious task that can consume much time and effort. Automated Essay Scoring (AES) has thus been proposed as a fast and effective solution to the problem of grading student writing at scale. However, because AES typically uses supervised machine learning, a human-graded essay corpus is still required to train the AES…

The goal of knowledge tracing is to track the state of a student's knowledge as it evolves over time. This plays a fundamental role in understanding the learning process and is a key task in the development of an intelligent tutoring system. In this paper we propose a novel approach to knowledge tracing that combines techniques from matrix…
