Many existing solutions for the automatic assessment of open-ended questions predominantly rely on machine learning models, primarily focusing on aspects such as writing style and assigning a final score. However, these solutions often overlook the crucial factor of feedback content relevance, specifically, how well the response aligns with the…

Nora McCarthy; Karen Neville; Andrew Pope – Discover Education, 2025
The terms 'feedback' and 'formative assessment' are ubiquitous in education, but their conceptual boundaries are ill-defined. This perspective piece explores the meaning of 'feedback' and 'formative assessment', revealing the entanglement and confusion that exists between these two terms. An argument for clarity of terms is made, to avoid…

Inherent in every clinical preceptor's role is the ability to understand the learning needs of individual trainees, enabling them to meet their potential. Competency-based medical education frameworks have been developed to this end, but efforts to identify behaviours and activities that define competence are based on mapping knowledge, skills and…

We have introduced a novel approach to competency-based education in mechatronics from the undergraduate to the postgraduate level. What distinguishes this approach is the integration of modeling and control of sampled systems right from the beginning of the undergraduate education. It is achieved by changing the structure of the first-semester…

Antonio Estevan Martinez IV – Digital Experiences in Mathematics Education, 2024
Many areas of mathematics naturally lend themselves to machine-based computing environments, which suggests that computational environments may serve as useful mediating tools for the teaching and learning of mathematical content. While some mathematics classes are leveraging the use of computational tools, the implementation of computer…

The programme leader is crucial to the success of a higher education provider's educational portfolio. However, programme leader development is under-researched and is too often conceptualised in a negative way, as the solution to a problem. Here we adopt a positive approach by undertaking an Appreciative Inquiry with programme leaders to…

As the Bologna process emerged in the framework of European integration, its objectives are closely linked to the process of voluntary convergence of public policies of members of the European Union. In this context, it can be challenging to understand possible convergence or divergence trends in Bologna member countries that are outside the…

Laurie Graham Dodge – Assessment Update, 2024
The importance of assessment has increased and is now integrated in institutional cultures for faculty, leaders, service units, accreditors, and learners. To address the call for validation of learning, institutions and organizations are building competency-based education (CBE) programs that are relevant, accessible, and ensure quality. In 2021,…

Grades are the universal tool for measuring students' performance at school. However, other competency-based evaluation methods have shown to have a stronger impact on the learning quality. We investigated how different methods are collectively represented and discursively constructed among students at an Italian high school class. Thematic…

Curricular reforms oftentimes cause more problems than they solve. Teachers' being kept out of curricular activities is one main reason for a reform to plummet. In this qualitative study, we examined the Malian curricular policy from two aspects -- reform and teaching and learning. Guided by Fischer's argumentative approach theory, this analysis…

Behavioral skills training (BST) is a performance- and competency-based training package composed of instructions, modeling, rehearsal, and feedback. Previous reviews have demonstrated that BST is an effective training package to teach interventionists to implement behavior analytic interventions (Kirkpatrick et al. in "Journal of Behavioral…

Ali, Russlynn; Knowles, Timothy F. C. – State Education Standard, 2023
In 1906, the Carnegie unit, or credit hour, was introduced to standardize U.S. public education. It defined the precise number of minutes students needed to learn a particular subject and the number of credit hours required to earn a high school or college degree. At the dawn of the 20th century, the Carnegie unit served the important purpose of…

Over the last decade, policymakers have been experimenting with competency-based education, an instructional reform that relies on flexible pacing to enable students to achieve content mastery at their own pace. In this paper, we draw on mixed-methods data from teacher surveys and interviews to examine the use of flexible instructional pacing in…
