“…The evaluation process of learners' exertion is crucial, as unevaluated learning causes less motivation, absence of feedback and therefore discourage learners from effective participation. This finding is compatible with the findings of [61], [62] and [63] who affirmed the importance of assessment techniques in the integration of skills in their separate reports. Additionally, White et al [64] reported that assessment methods are of the most important effects on how students learn, the extent of the study, and how successfully they perform.…”

In most professions, the value of soft skills has been recognized and many companies make decisions on employment and performance assessment based in part on the soft skills of workers. Project-Based Learning (PjBL), in its nature as a pedagogical method, has the capability of harnessing the potential of students in soft skills. The purpose of this study was to develop a PjBL conceptual framework for integrating soft skills among students of technical colleges. The population goal for the study was made up of 372 technical teachers from 22 government technical colleges across the sample area. Considering the heterogeneous complexity of the population from which the survey is extracted, the stratified technique of random sampling was used to choose the 295 participants for the study. Through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) models the chi-square values, modification indices, and standardized estimates were developed using Analysis Moment of Structures (AMOS). Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to check the model's causal relationship by the application of AMOS version 20. The study findings revealed PjBL preparation (planning), application, commitment, and assessment techniques each to have a positive significant impact on soft skill improvement among students of technical colleges. On the other hand, the study found that facilitation in project-based learning has a significant yet negative relation to integrating soft skills among students at the technical colleges. Interestingly, the outcome of this research suggests that PjBL in technical colleges will have a substantial positive impact on the integration of soft skills among the students. Based on the finding of the study, the government should provide adequate facilities for appropriate PjBL activities to enhance the integration of soft skills. Technical teachers should employ the PjBL identified elements in the teaching and learning of at technical colleges for effective incorporation of soft skills among the students.

“…Appropriate assessment tasks should be used to provide students with opportunities to demonstrate understanding of the specific problems involved (Jimaa, 2011). Through the actual patient cases and analyses of speech, the website provided the students with realistic problems requiring consideration and understanding of associated speech variables.…”

Perceptual assessment is the basis for diagnosis and evaluation of treatment in speech-language pathology (SLP). Students need to practise assessment skills. A web-based platform with cases and expert feedback in cleft palate disorders was developed in national collaboration. The aim of the study was to evaluate the results of individual training on assessment skills in SLP students and their perception of e-learning. Forty-five students performed tests using a pre-and post-test setup. Perceptual assessments were demonstrated and instructions provided during teacher-led activities in ongoing fully scheduled courses; students were then individually trained in their free time. Reference samples were available. A significant improvement was found in rating and phonetic transcriptions after training. Positive comments concerned accessibility and practice time.

“…Considering the traditional student learning effect evaluation methods we have, incourse assignments, oral presentations, and written exams are widely used to assess student's transferable skill, delivery skill, and understanding skill (Jimaa 2011). For a long time, in-process evaluation is ignored when the final grade of a course is solely consisted of the final written exam or a group project report (Black and Wiliam 1998).…”

Evaluating student learning effect plays an essential role in education, which is typically done by assessing student's final deliverables. However, the student's learning process has not been properly explored in the past. In this paper, we propose an interactive student learning effect evaluation framework which focuses on in-process learning effect evaluation. In particular, our proposal analyzes students modeling assignment based on their operation records by using techniques of frequent sequential pattern mining, user behavior analysis, feature engineering, and process mining. A comprehensive online modeling platform has been developed to enable data collection. We have carried out a case study, in which we applied our approach to a real teaching scenario, consisting of student online modeling behavior data collected from 24 students majoring in computer science. We also associate our process mining results with the numeric evaluation values. The preliminary result of case analysis has shown good potential to mine student modeling patterns and interpret their behaviors, contributing to student learning effect evaluation.
