This study explores a new item-writing framework for improving the validity of math assessment items.The authors transfer insights from Cognitive Load Theory (CLT), traditionally used in instructional design, to educational measurement.Fifteen, multiple-choice math assessment items were modified using research-based strategies for reducing extraneo
As well as in every engineering sector also in the design of rail vehicles tools for computer modelling and simulation are nowadays the most often used.In this way static analyses of rail vehicle components and dynamic analyses Differential Gear Set of a completed rail vehicle multibody system are possible to perform.Static analyses are most common
Objective gait monitoring is increasingly accessible to trainers.A more comprehensive understanding of ‘normal’ gait adaptations is required.Forty two-year-old thoroughbred racehorses were recruited when entering training and followed for 22 months.Gait analysis was performed by equipping each horse with an inertial measurement unit wit
