ABSTRACT Research on the assessment of naturalistic inquiries is reviewed, and criteria for assessment are outlined. Criteria reviewed include early foundational and non-foundational criteria, trustworthiness criteria, axiomatic criteria, rhetorical criteria, action criteria, and application/transferability criteria. Case studies that are reports of naturalistic inquiries should meet the follow...

Several researchers initiated their work of models and framework development by creating evaluation criteria (also called success criteria or quality aspects). These criteria not only guided development but also were used to help evaluate their models and frameworks. This paper reviews Boehm’s evaluation criteria for assessing a cost model, Beecham’s success criteria for validating a Requiremen...

This study investigated the effect of performance-based versus competence-based assessment criteria on task performance and self-assessment skills among 39 novice secondary vocational education students in the domain of nursing and care. In a performance-based assessment group students are provided with a preset list of performance-based assessment criteria, describing what students should do, ...

In this article, we outline criteria for good assessment that include: (1) validity or coherence, (2) reproducibility or consistency, (3) equivalence, (4) feasibility, (5) educational effect, (6) catalytic effect, and (7) acceptability. Many of the criteria have been described before and we continue to support their importance here. However, we place particular emphasis on the catalytic effect ...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the Consensus on Health Economic Criteria (CHEC) project is to develop a criteria list for assessment of the methodological quality of economic evaluations in systematic reviews. The criteria list resulting from this CHEC project should be regarded as a minimum standard. METHODS The criteria list has been developed using a Delphi method. Three Delphi rounds were needed t...

Assessment of student learning is an important task in a teaching and learning process. It has a strong influence on students’ approaches to learning and their outcomes. Recent development in tertiary education has shifted its emphasis from teacher-centered learning to student-centered learning. In a student-centered learning environment, criterion-referenced assessment techniques are often use...

OBJECTIVE To develop criteria to assess injuries due to diethyl sulfate poisoning. METHODS Patients were evaluated with respect to their toxic status and outcomes, in comparison to typical cases. RESULTS Among 44 poisoned patients, 4 patients were classified as major injuries, 4 person as minor injuries, and the rest of 36 patients were classified as not poisoned according to poisoning diag...

An effective assessment tool can prevent student dropout problems that are a continuous concern in the educational world in advance. If students can be screened before dropping out and offered preventive counseling, their risk behaviors will be more effectively controlled than if they are found and returned to school. Researchers are diligently developing efficient and effective assessment tool...
