Franklin BM, Xiang L, Collett JA, Rhoads MK, Osborn JL. Open problem-based instruction impacts understanding of physiological concepts differently in undergraduate students. Adv Physiol Educ 39: 327–334, 2015; doi:10.1152/advan.00082.2015.—Student populations are diverse such that different types of learners struggle with traditional didactic instruction. Problem-based learning has existed for ...

Executive Summary Educational assessment is a process of drawing reasonable inferences about what students know on the basis of evidence derived from observation of what they say, do or make in selected situations. Educational assessment does not exist in isolation, but should be aligned with instruction in order to support and enhance learning. Assessment functions may be varied, ranging from ...

Testing as a general trait of social life has received a great deal of attention by many language teachers and scholars. Throughout history, people have been tested to prove their abilities and experiences or to confirm their capacities. Many authorities have said that assessment and instruction should be integrated as a single and inseparable activity which seeks to understand development by a...

ABSTRACT This study determined the effects of health instruction upon the Objective Reference Test (ORT) scores of students in grades one through five of the Troy School District in Troy, Michigan. In September 1971, all elementary teachers in Michigan were instructed to begin teaching substance use and abuse. An Elementary Health Committee was established to design a curriculum guide for healt...

Over the past decade, the field of literacy education has seen a major shift in fluency’s role in the literacy curriculum, moving from a rarely encountered instructional component to one that is often responsible for driving major instructional decisions (e.g., Riedel, 2007; Schilling, Carlisle, Scott, & Zeng, 2007). This shift is due, in part, to the identification of fluency as one of the are...

alternative assessment approaches received considerable attention soon after a discontent with traditional, one-shot testing. these approaches, however, have been used only to improve learners’ linguistic ability despite communicative models of language which pointed that knowledge of language also involves pragmatic ability (bachman, 1990; bachman & palmer, 1996). the present study tries t...

Scholars commonly find many negative impacts of traditional paper-and-pencil assessment methods in research. Examination-oriented instruction and the inability to assess high-order cognitive abilities and affective attributes are some examples (Glaser and Silver, 1994; Herman, 1992). However, the limitations that do not comply with contemporary learning theories are not only criticized by many ...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to validate an assessment tool used by occupational therapists to evaluate on-road driving performance. METHODS The driving assessment was conducted over a 15-km route that consisted of a range of traffic situations and contained both directed and self-directed navigational instruction. The driving performance of four groups of drivers of different ages...
