Child's understanding and intentions are not always easy to read in drawings. This is particularly evident in the type of drawings we refer to as 'analytical drawings'. In order to understand analytical drawings made by preschool children, it is important to have a dialogue with the young authors. In our study, we examined the ability of students…

Appetite for entrepreneurship education (EE) among vocational students has surged dramatically, driven by persistent challenges of unemployment. As a result, vocational institutions are increasingly focused on how much entrepreneurship exposure students receive, particularly how frequently instructors impart core business knowledge and skills to…

Evaluating a design studio course is a complex issue due to its practice-based, rich, and vague nature. This is an attempt to uncover this complex issue from students' viewpoints as they are the owners of learning processes. Based on a student evaluation template, we particularly focused on nine dimensions of a design studio course, which are…

This paper surveys research and practice on enhancing peer assessment with artificial intelligence. Its objectives are to give the structure of the theoretical framework underpinning the study, synopsize a scoping review of the literature that illustrates this structure, and provide a case study which further illustrates this structure. The…

Mastery-based testing (MBT) is a form of categorical grading where students are repeatedly assessed until they achieve a level of mastery. This paper describes the implementation of MBT in a university quantitative literacy class using a web-based homework system. Qualitative evidence in the form of student comments showed that quantitative…

Objective: The objective of this study was threefold: (a) to create a rubric for response complexity (RC), defined as an admixture of response length, grammatical diversity, categorisation, and sophistication; (b) to measure behavioural and cognitive engagement through students' written responses on a school-based written activity, and (c) to…

A combination of institutional requirements and research activity means health profession students receive many requests to complete evaluations or participate in research. This study aimed to understand pre-clinical medical students' perceptions and attitudes towards these requests. A prospective audit of evaluation and research requests to…

In the UK, all doctoral programmes are expected to include some form of periodic progression assessment, with individual institutions having autonomy to design and implement their own structures. Yet, despite the potential significance of this assessment to individual doctoral journeys, the design of progression assessment processes has previously…

Online assessments of learning, or online exams, have become increasingly widespread with the rise of distance learning. Online exams are preferred by many students and are perceived as a quick and easy tool to measure knowledge. On the contrary, some students are concerned about the possibility of cheating and technological difficulties in online…

Ensuring teacher effectiveness within higher education contexts continues to shape institutional policy discourse and practice. However, there is limited research exploring how assessment practices correspond with teachers' and students' perceptions of teacher effectiveness, particularly in vocational higher education settings. Acknowledging the…

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…

This dissertation is prepared to explain the research conducted to study the extent of instruction that school psychology graduate students are receiving on strengths-based assessment in their training programs. Strengths-based assessment is the process of intentionally measuring strengths rather than solely measuring deficits. The positive…

This was the first study in which a psychometrically validated STEM measure, the "Student STEM" (S-STEM), was studied for HSSWD. This study also represented the first time a psychometrically validated STEM measure, the "Student STEM" (S-STEM), was studied for HSSWD. Data were collected from 229 HSSWD in a western state and…

Although assessments are a staple feature in education, student voices tend to be undervalued throughout the process. While students are a major stakeholder, this study adopted a mixed-methods strategy to examine the views of tertiary students on assessment types with regards to their preferences, self-rated performance and perceived…
