Influences on the Development of Economic Knowledge over the First Academic Year
2020
Despite significant research, it remains unclear whether the goal of developing domain-specific knowledge in higher education is actually being achieved. This is also true for the internationally most popular study domain of business and economics. In Germany, a test for measuring economic knowledge was validated, enabling the analysis of change in knowledge over the course of studies. Business and economics students from across Germany were surveyed over the course of one study year: 7,111 beginning students in the winter term of 2016/2017, and 1,705 third semester students in the winter term of 2017/2018. Investigating the longitudinal matched sample of 734 students who took part at both …
The Assessment of Professionalism for Ambulance Personnel – Problems and Challenges
2015
The purpose of this paper is to clarify whether annual knowledge testing at a work place promotes Ambulance professionals for personnel development, and if it providesthe possibility to assess personnel’s competence and professionalism. The results of 1693 ambulance personnel’s annual knowledge testing in years 2011, 2012,2013 are analysed in the research. The results obtainedreflect that in all stages knowledge improves, but there are not possibility to assess personnel’s competence and professionalism for building personnel development programs in the future.
Validity and fairness of a new entry diagnostics test in higher education economics
2020
Abstract Research has been focusing increasingly on measuring students’ prior economic knowledge in higher education. However, in German-speaking countries, valid instruments are rare. A diagnostic study investigated the validity and fairness of an internationally established economic knowledge test (adapted German version of TUCE IV and TEL IV) with a representative sample of 7664 students from 46 universities across Germany. Previous findings with the dataset ( Zlatkin-Troitschanskaia et al., 2019a ) suggest that native language significantly predicts missing answers in the knowledge test. Similar effects can be found for gender. After coding missing answers as incorrect, students with a …
fMRI-activation patterns in the detection of concealed information rely on memory-related effects
2012
Recent research on potential applications of fMRI in the detection of concealed knowledge primarily ascribed the reported differences in hemodynamic response patterns to deception. This interpretation is challenged by the results of the present study. Participants were required to memorize probe and target items (a banknote and a playing card, each). Subsequently, these items were repeatedly presented along with eight irrelevant items in a modified Guilty Knowledge Test design and participants were instructed to simply acknowledge item presentation by pressing one button after each stimulus. Despite the absence of response monitoring demands and thus overt response conflicts, the experiment…
Task relevance and recognition of concealed information have different influences on electrodermal activity and event-related brain potentials.
2009
This study aimed at differentiating between memory- and task-related processes and their correlates on the electrodermal and electrocortical level during information concealment. Variations of the Guilty Knowledge Test were implemented in two experiments while we measured skin conductance responses (SCRs) and event-related brain potentials. P300 amplitudes were specifically enhanced for items requiring a deviant behavioral response but they were not sensitive to concealed knowledge. In contrast, N200 amplitudes differed between memorized and irrelevant items in both experiments. SCR measures reflected a combined influence of task relevance and probe recognition, and they provided incrementa…
Zināšanu pārbaudes testi izmantošanai viedierīcēs
2018
Diplomdarbā aprakstītā pētījuma mērķis izpētīt mobilo testu izmantošanas aktualitāti un pielietošanas iespējas, lai veicinātu to izmantošanu pedagoģiskajā procesā. Pētījumam izmantoto datu ieguves kvalitatīvās metodes ir intervijas un platformu analīze, kvantitatīvā - pedagogu aptauja. Interviju respondenti ir sākumskolas, vidusskolas un augstskolas pedagogi, kā arī Uzdevumi.lv direktors Edgars Škutāns. Tika vadīts seminārs, iepazīstinot profesionālās vidusskolas Mediju mākslas nodaļas pedagogus ar zināšanu pārbaudes testu platformu QUIZIZZ, pēc kura tika veikta pedagogu aptauja. Pētījumā noskaidrots, ka viedierīcērs izmantojamo zināšanu pārbaudes testu galvenās priekšrocības ir automātiska…
Revista electrónica de investigación y evaluación educativa

Resumen tomado de la publicación Título, resumen y palabras clave en inglés y español La igualación equipercentil es un método estadístico en el cual los puntajes crudos de dos versiones de una prueba se consideran igualados si ellos corresponden al mismo rango percentilar en un grupo de examinados. En la igualación equipercentil se presenta una curva para describir las diferencias de dificultad de versión a versión. Se tiene como objetivo estimar la igualación equipercentil sin suavizado de las versiones 3 y 4, con la versión 2, por área temática del Examen de Habilidades y Conocimientos Básicos (EXHCOBA) que utiliza la Universidad Autónoma de Baja California (UABC) para la selección de as…
