The developed tool is integrated into the Moodle learning management system and presents questions from a question bank to students at predetermined time intervals set by the instructor. Additionally, it records interactions between the student and embedded quizzes, such as the number of attempts and the number of correct or incorrect answers. Furthermore, students' video interactions, encompassing actions like play, pause, and seek, are also stored in the database. The tool allows instructors to export 15 features related to students' videos and embedded quiz interactions. Consequently, students can assess their comprehension of the content they are viewing and receive immediate feedback, while instructors can access summary reports for all students. This enables them to find out how many students have watched the videos and their responses to the questions before or after the class. This paper explains the development process of the tool and presents findings from a pilot study utilizing the tool. The results of the pilot study revealed that students' video-watching behaviors in interactive videos differed from those in non-interactive videos. An interactive video player that allows embedding quiz questions to support formative assessment in online learning environments, can be advantageous for researchers, instructors, and learners.","PeriodicalId":43015,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Measurement and Evaluation in Education and Psychology-EPOD","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136108526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So to provide an effective learning process analyzing students’ behaviors are important for designing formative and summative assessment environments. In this study, students’ profiles have been analyzed in a formative assessment environment and compared with the summative assessment environment based on attempt count, overall time spent, first attempt score, and the last attempt score metrics. The within-subjects design has been used. Cluster analysis and the Kruskal Wallis-H Test were used to analyze behaviors. The data show that there are three main clusters. Cluster 1 showed a high number of interactions, and an increasing trend was observed in grades over attempts. Cluster 2 consists of the students who received the best grades in all of the other clusters, and lastly, cluster 3 consists of students that interact little and score lower on formative assessments.","PeriodicalId":43015,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Measurement and Evaluation in Education and Psychology-EPOD","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134949484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Task, process, and feedback serve as the basis of formative assessments. Typically, tasks are introduced to lessons to facilitate student feedback. Due to their technological potential, eportfolios are often used to help with assigning tasks, managing processes, and getting feedback. It is necessary to incorporate the findings from environments where eportfolios are used for formative assessment into the existing literature. A systematic literature review was employed for this purpose. Three researchers reviewed 33 studies utilizing content analysis. The Fleiss kappa was used to determine inter-rater reliability. Quantitative analysis was performed on the articles' dependent or related variables, environments, research method, implementation period, evaluators, eportfolio type, activity format, evaluation instruments, education level, and course categories. Among the qualitative findings of the studies were the prominent concepts of the use of eportfolios, as well as the themes and codes of advantages and challenges. The findings indicate that the integration of eportfolios in the formative assessment process, despite its challenges, provides significant advantages. It is expected that the study's findings will be useful for researchers as well as practitioners who intend to use eportfolios for formative assessment processes.","PeriodicalId":43015,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Measurement and Evaluation in Education and Psychology-EPOD","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135135131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research is limited to published academic studies written in Turkish and English between 2000 and 2023. When the criteria determined in the research were examined, only 19 studies were found by these criteria.

As a result of the study, it was observed that CI performs better in terms of ATL, and SPRT performs better in ACA and correlation, bias, Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) values, sequentially; MFI-EB is more useful than MFI-CB. It was also seen that MMM is more successful in content balancing, whereas CCAT is better in terms of test efficiency (ATL and ACA), and IE is superior in terms of item exposure control though SH is more beneficial in test efficiency. Besides, increasing the number of classification categories increases ATL but decreases ACA, and it gives better results in terms of the correlation, bias, RMSE, and MAE values.","PeriodicalId":43015,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Measurement and Evaluation in Education and Psychology-EPOD","volume":"12 1","pages":"15-27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48725532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As such, the present study with a twofold purpose sets out to determine the best fitted explanatory item response theory model and examine the predictors of test disengagement. The data were collected by using items measuring literacy and numeracy skills of adults from different countries such as Norway, Austria, Ireland, France, Denmark, Germany, and Finland participated in PIAAC 2012. The results of the model with item and person characteristics demonstrated that adults tended to be disengaged on very difficult items. Similarly, age has a negative effect on test-taking engagement for adults in several countries such as France and Ireland, while several predictors such as educational attainment, readiness to learn, and the use of ICT skills at home and work had positive effects on test engagement. In addition, females exhibit a higher level of engagement in Norway. Overall, the findings suggested that the effect of the predictors on disengagement depended on the domain and country. So, this study brings further attention that the role of test disengagement should be a prerequisite practice before reaching a conclusion from international large-stake assessments.","PeriodicalId":43015,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Measurement and Evaluation in Education and Psychology-EPOD","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68252975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
