  Review of Research in Education · 2016-03-01 · 36 citations

  article1st authorCorresponding

  This chapter addresses assessment (testing) with an emphasis on the 100-year period since the American Education Research Association was formed. The authors start with definitions and explanations of contemporary tests. They then look backward into the 19th century to significant work by Horace Mann and Herbert Spencer, who engendered two parallel purposes for assessment: evaluating effects of education and identifying individual differences. The authors consider the interplay of these orientat…

• Synergy and Tension between Large‐Scale and Classroom Assessment: International Trends

  Educational Measurement Issues and Practice · 2020 · 20 citations

  Abstract The synergy, or lack thereof, between large‐scale and classroom assessment has been fiercely debated in both academic and policy spheres for decades around the world. This paper seeks to explicate how different countries are utilizing large‐scale testing and test results at the classroom level. Through country profiles, this paper analyzes contemporary developments on the tensions and synergies between large‐scale assessment and classroom teaching, learning, and assessment observed acro…

• Measuring and Increasing Interest in a Game

  Routledge eBooks · 2021 · 8 citations

  The purpose of this chapter is to review the literature on career interest from multiple theoretical frameworks and research traditions. Specifically, the aim of this chapter is to synthesize research on the nature of the construct interest and measurement of interest to inform the development of interest measures that can be applied to Navy games. In addition, methods to increase interests are also reviewed. There are four main literatures that document the research study of interest: military…

• Measures, Metrics, and Indicators for Evaluating Technology-Based Interventions

  International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction · 2023-02-22 · 3 citations

  article1st authorCorresponding

  The goal of this article is to reconsider the types of dependent variables used in formal evaluation of technology-based learning programs. This article specifically focuses on measures, metrics, and indicators applied to the evaluation of technology-based learning programs and interventions. Its deeper intent is to support the use of evaluation results in decisions to improve the effectiveness of current or future learning-focused implementations. This article focuses on the description and use…

• Templates and Objects in Authoring Problem-Solving Assessments

  2017-09-25 · 3 citations

  book-chapter

  Problem solving is the series of mental or physical actions a solver takes to transform the present state to the final state. Researchers view simulations as a subset of problem-solving assessment environments. The Integrated Site Investigation Software (ISIS) simulation allowed students to develop links between class-room theory and real-world situations and to apply and test some theories. The simulation was embedded within instruction and was comprehensive in terms of both subject matter and…
