Teaching is one of the most important factors affecting any education system. Many research efforts have been conducted to facilitate the presentation modes used by instructors in classrooms as well as provide means for students to review lectures through web browsers. Other studies have been made to provide acoustical design recommendations for classrooms like room size and reverberation times...

The current study aimed at examining the relationship between English language teachers’ assessment literacy and their teaching experience. In other words, it intended to inspect the relationship between native and non-native English language teachers’ assessment literacy and their teaching experience. To achieve such goals, 100 native and non-native English teachers from ESL and EFL contexts w...

Contemporary classroom practices have evolved, and are continuing to evolve toward an emphasis on authentic learning activities. To a considerable degree, lectures and proscribed classroom exercises are being replaced with more open-ended, problem-based activities that are frequently carried out by groups of students (i.e., collaborative learning). We are investigating the use and assessment of...

roponents of assessment reform and advocates for performance-based assessments as important components of broader educational change readily acknowledge the shortcomings of testdriven reforms in the past. Indeed, a now familiar litany of unintended negative side effects of high-stakes uses of standardized tests generally accompanies calls for moving to a performance-based assessment system. WYT...

A likely feature of the Internet classroom is automated assessment of student exercises. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of the Grade Grinder, an Internet-based assessment service developed for use with logic-teaching courseware. We discuss the utility of this platform both as a pedagogical resource, and as a provider of data for research on student problem-solving. We ...

The classroom is an environment where teachers constantly need to make decisions on planning instructional activities, monitoring students’ progress and evaluating teaching effectiveness. One way to monitor students’ progress is by giving assessment. Assessments which can be formal or informal, are used to gather information about students’ achievement. Previously, lecturers used the traditiona...

We present a naturalistic case study of one teacher’s development of a growth-centered context for classroom assessment. In-depth interviews, analysis of student work, and observations were used to identify the processes this teacher used to engage her students in the assessment process. Data were analyzed using listening guide analysis to garner a holistic perspective on the nature of teaching...

Automated essay scoring (AWE) software, which uses artificial intelligence to evaluate essays and generate feedback, has been seen as both a boon and a bane in the struggle to improve writing instruction. We used interviews, surveys, and classroom observations to study teachers and students using AWE software in 4 secondary schools. We found AWE to be a modest addition to the arsenal of teachin...
