Wenyue Ma – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Foreign language placement testing, an important component in university foreign language programs, has received considerable, but not copious, attention over the years in second language (L2) testing research (Norris, 2004), and it has been mostly concentrated on L2 English. In contrast to validation research on L2 English placement testing, the…

Mirenda, Pat – Research and Practice for Persons with Severe Disabilities, 2017
The evolution of evidence-based practice in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) has occurred via two different but related routes: the conventional research-to-practice route and the more common practice-to-research route. This article defines both routes with examples of each and discusses potential problems that may arise when…

Katharine M. Broton – ProQuest LLC, 2017
Despite improvements in college access, college completion rates remain low among students from low-income and otherwise vulnerable families. Over the past three decades, college prices rose dramatically, the real income of most families stagnated, and the purchasing power of need-based financial aid declined. To make up for substantial unmet…

Freeland, Peter – School Science Review, 2013
Charles Darwin supposed that evolution involved a process of gradual change, generated randomly, with the selection and retention over many generations of survival-promoting features. Some theists have never accepted this idea. "Intelligent design" is a relatively recent theory, supposedly based on scientific evidence, which attempts to…

Village, Andrew; Baker, Sylvia – Journal of Beliefs & Values, 2013
A sample of 661 churchgoers from a range of Christian denominations in the United Kingdom was asked about Darwinian evolution (defined as the common origin of all species, including humans). Respondents were categorised as those who accepted the idea, those who rejected it, and those who were unsure or neutral. People in each category were given a…

Thomson, Elizabeth; Auhl, Greg; Uys, Philip; Wood, Denise; Woolley, Dallas – Journal of University Teaching and Learning Practice, 2019
This paper reports on the development of an evidenced-based method guiding the review, design and development of higher education courses (programs), supported by a bespoke, purpose-specific software platform. It describes the outcome of a five-year process of development for both the method and for the supporting technology, where feedback was…

Tschirner, Erwin – Unterrichtspraxis/Teaching German, 2018
Concepts of second language proficiency and how proficiency may be assessed have changed considerably over the last 20 years. New notions of validity with respect to the interpretation and uses of test scores have begun to shape discussions about test validity and quality assurance in college world language departments, in government, and in…

Claeys, Joseph – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2013
The practice of individual assessment has been moving toward the empirically derived Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) theory of intellectual ability, which offers a hierarchical taxonomy of cognitive abilities. Current assessment tools provide varying adherence to operationalizing CHC theory, making clinical inference difficult. Expert consensus…

Herrero, David; del Castillo, Héctor; Monjelat, Natalia; García-Varela, Ana Belén; Checa, Mirian; Gómez, Patricia – Journal of New Approaches in Educational Research, 2014
Scientific literacy is more than the simple reproduction of traditional school science knowledge and requires a set of skills, among them identifying scientific issues, explaining phenomena scientifically and using scientific evidence. Several studies have indicated that playing computer games in the classroom can support the development of…

James-Gallaway, Chaddrick D. – Teachers College Record, 2022
Background/Context: In New Orleans, Louisiana, in the years following Hurricane Katrina, predominantly white education reformers have used entrepreneurial support to dismantle the predominantly Black city's public education system. Using racial domination without community approval, these education reformers have educationally disenfranchised the…

Proponents of Creationism but Not Proponents of Evolution Frame the Origins Debate in Terms of Proof
Barnes, Ralph M.; Church, Rebecca A. – Science & Education, 2013
In Study 1, 72 internet documents containing creationism, ID (intelligent design), or evolution content were selected for analysis. All instances of proof cognates (the word "proof" and related terms such as "proven", "disproof", etc.) contained within these documents were identified and labeled in terms of the manner in which the terms were used.…

Measuring Student Understanding of Genetics: Psychometric, Cognitive, and Demographic Considerations
Tornabene, Robyn – ProQuest LLC, 2018
Genetics is universally recognized as a core aspect of biological and scientific literacy. Beyond genetics' own role as a major unifying topic within the biological sciences, understanding genetics is essential for understanding other integral ideas such as evolution and development. Genetics understanding also underlies public decision making…

Langendorf, Ronja; Schneider, Susanne; Klein, Pascal – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram (HRD) is a fundamental representation in stellar physics. It contains information about key properties of stars and allows inferences about stellar evolution. The use of the HRD is an important disciplinary activity in astrophysics. For example, it is particularly important to have a graphical understanding of the…
