This free, short, self-paced course was co-created with the American Association of Colleges and Universities, and it includes short videos, activities, and discussion prompts. When completed you will be able to:
Generative AI is a powerful tool that can be used to support teachers and students. Unfortunately, just as AI can be used to generate lesson plans, provide helpful feedback, and serve as a personalized tutor, it can also be used to write a paper, provide answers, and do students’ work.
This article argues that many problems in psychological and behavioral research stem not only from statistical practices but also from how researchers define and measure constructs. The authors introduce the concept of questionable measurement practices (QMPs)鈥攔esearch decisions about measurement that raise doubts about the validity of a study鈥檚 conclusions. When such decisions are hidden or poorly documented, it becomes difficult for readers or other researchers to evaluate threats to construct validity, internal validity, statistical validity, and external validity, which ultimately undermines the credibility and replicability of research findings.
This study investigated a hybrid assessment format called Multiple-Choice with Elaboration Questions (MCEQs). In these questions, students not only select a multiple-choice answer but also must justify their choice in writing. The research was conducted across four sections of an upper-division psychology research methods course at a large public university.
Rubrics are handy tools for providing clear expectations and consistent feedback to learners, but students also welcome authentic feedback that sounds like it came from you. You can add your own “voice” through the commenting tool on the rubric in Brightspace or by adding multimedia feedback.
罢丑别听聽has a fantastic team supporting their CBE program, including a psychometrician (an expert in the measurement of mental capacities and processes) who developed a taxonomy of assessment types. While it is still in development, you can find the verb used in your learning outcome in the list in this database (such as 91桃色) and see helpful related information. This includes:
How do you know if your instruction is effective? What evidence do you look for? Are you looking to see if your students are engaged? Are you looking for performance on assessment?
