Learning Analytics is a new field of research that appears as a link between educator data and students. The Learning Analytics is also able to provide information about decision making to understand and optimise the learning process. Early childhood education is believed to be very important because the learner is open and always tries new things and is considered very meaningful for future processes in the development of all aspects of their personality. In this study, we aimed at investigating the application of learning analytics and how the learning process on child development in early childhood education. The Article Search Process is carried out on two databases, ScienceDirect and IEEE. In this study, the most important keywords are Learning Analytics and early childhood. The results of the search are 45 articles: (31/45) ScienceDirect and (14/45) IEEE, from 2012 to 2017. They are thoroughly explored in the Learning Analytics process, data collection and pre-processing, analysi.....

Cognitive diagnostic assessment (CDA) as an innovative criterion-based approach to assessment has been the center of increasing attention in recent decades due to its inherent merits over its previous psychometric counterpart. Due to the lack of research on the post hoc analyses of classroom assessments to diagnose L2 learners_ strengths and weaknesses in the multidivisible skill of reading comprehension, and also its significance in high-stakes tests, this article offers the implementation of samples of high-stakes tests in the classroom environment due to its beneficial consequences and washback for the learners to increase their educational chances. Therefore, the present article is intended to shed light on the mental processes which the examinees went through in responding to the multiple choice questions of four reading comprehension passages, elicited from the recent Iranian University Entrance Exam 2015. Time-series design was conducted to forty female students aged between 16 .....

Many facet Rasch measurement (MFRM) is a type of measurement application that aims to perform analysis of multiple variables that potentially influence results of a test or outcome measure. A facet is a component with a systematic contribution to the variability of the measurement error. Linacre (1989) created the technique as an extension of the Rasch model to model the consistency of judges/raters in rating performances. The purpose is to provide a step- by step guide for practitioners on how to conduct an MFRM analysis in FACETS software using real data. Keywords: FACET, Many facet Rasch Measurement, Rasch, measurement, Rasch application..

This study examines how end-of-course surveys administered at the same institution in two modalities (online and in-class) differ. In particular, substantive responses to qualitative questions appeared systematically less substantive than those administered in class. However, students did respond to qualitative questions at a higher rate, even though these responses were, on average, less substantive. It also appears that survey response was far less consistent with one another in the online modality than the traditional, in-class modality. On the other hand, there is very little convincing evidence that shifting to online end-of-course surveys leads to more positive or negative responses. Keywords end-of-course surveys, assessment, online learning, modality shifts, institutional assessment _..

The study was carried out to evaluate the performance of undergraduate students in Test and Measurement Achievement test with samples from probabilistic and non-probabilistic sampling procedures. Three research questions and one hypothesis guided the study. A sample of 200 students (100 from proportionate stratified random representing probabilistic and 100 from purposive representing non-probabilistic). Test and Measurement Achievement test was the instrument used for the study. It has face and content validities. It has a reliability coefficient of 0.79 obtained through Kuder-Richardson formula 20. The data collected with the instrument were analysed in line with the research questions and hypothesis. Mean was used to answer the research questions while Z-test was used to test the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. The results showed that the undergraduate students who were selected through the probabilistic sampling procedure performed better than sample of students from the .....

The Design and Development Research (DDR) approach was employed in this study, which consisted of three phases. The first phase analysed the need for developing the STREAM module for preschool. A survey method was conducted involving 40 early childhood educators and 40 pre-service early childhood educators as respondents. Descriptive statistics were used for analysis. The findings from the needs analysis revealed that the development of the STREAM ITIPreschool module is necessary to enhance teachers' skills in STREAM ITI-Preschool education. The second phase focused on designing and developing the STREAM ITIPreschool module, which involved consensus among ten experts on the module's main components through two rounds. Thematic analysis was conducted in the first round, where emerging themes includ.....
