A review of the valid methodological use of adaptive comparative judgement in technology education research
(Frontiers Media, 2022-03-03)
There is a continuing rise in studies examining the impact that adaptive comparative judgment (ACJ) can have on practice in technology education. This appears to stem from ACJ being seen to offer a solution to the difficulties ...
