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)…

Effectively working in an engineering workplace requires strong teamwork skills, yet the existing literature within various disciplines reveals discrepancies in evaluating these skills. This complicates the design of a generic teamwork peer evaluation tool for engineering students. This study aims to address this gap by introducing the DRIVE…

In this article, the authors share their reflections on how different experiences and paradigms have broadened their understanding of the work of assessment in higher education. As they collaborated to create a panel for the 2024 International Conference on Assessing Quality in Higher Education, they recognized that they, as assessment…

While multimodality and multiliteracies has been a concept for 25 years (Kalantzis & Cope, 2023; The New London Group, 1996), research on and application of the concept within text complexity measures has been limited. Attempts to assess multiliteracies and multimodality (Jacobs, 2013; Schmerbeck & Lucht, 2017; Wyatt-Smith & Kimber,…

Assessment instruments that generate quantitative data on attributes (cognitive, affective, behavioral, "etc.") of participants are commonly used in the chemistry education community to draw conclusions in research studies or inform practice. Recently, articles and editorials have stressed the importance of providing evidence for the…

Nursing education programs are faced with urgent demands to transition to competency-based education (CBE) to address the limitations of the nursing workforce. The AACN (2021) has developed the Essentials, or the core competencies for graduating entry- and advanced-level nurses to inform CBE. A concept analysis of Foundational Competence was…

The purpose of this systematic review was to survey available measures of creativity for pk12 students for assessments characteristics and reporting of psychometric properties. Using the PRISMA framework, we identified 42 unique articles with 48 assessments meeting our inclusion criteria. Then, two coders independently coded all articles using a…

Purpose: To evaluate the validity, reliability, and sensitivity of the novel Means-End Problem-Solving Assessment Tool (MEPSAT). Methods: Children with typical development and those with motor delay were assessed throughout the first 2 years of life using the MEPSAT. MEPSAT scores were validated against the cognitive and motor subscales of the…

Evaluating digital competencies has become a topic of growing interest in recent years. Although several reviews and studies have summarized the main elements of progress and shortcomings in this area, some issues are yet to be explored. Very little information is available about the ways of ensuring the validity and reliability of the instrument…

Teacher design work has gained increasing attention by re-conceptualizing teachers as designers rather than curriculum deliverers. However, assessing teacher design work can be challenging given that there are very few research tools to assess teacher design knowledge (TDK) competencies. To fill that gap, this study proposes a survey that assesses…

The purpose of this article is to compare digital competence assessment instruments based on DigComp related frameworks. The study aims to answer four questions: (a) What types of instruments based on these frameworks are available? (b) How were these instruments created from these frameworks? (c) What procedures were used to guarantee the…

High-quality assessments are crucial to many aspects of the educational process. They can help policymakers monitor long-term educational trends, assist state educational agencies (SEAs) and local educational agencies (LEAs) in allocating resources and professional development opportunities, provide insights to teachers about how well students…

The validity of the Kappa coefficient of chance-corrected agreement has been questioned when the prevalence of specific rating scale categories is low and agreement between raters is high. The researchers proposed the Lambda Coefficient of Rater-Mediated Agreement as an alternative to Kappa to address these concerns. Lambda corrects for chance…

The UK-based article develops a quantitative method for measuring 8-9-year-old children's Gender Ability Beliefs through drawings, assessing the reliability and validity of the measure and its association with respondents' self-reported gender. The measure, originally used in the US by Beilock et al. (2010), required respondents to draw two…

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…
