A Human-in-the-Loop Framework for AI-Assisted Scoring in Large-Scale Writing Assessment

The paper introduces a human‑in‑the‑loop framework for AI‑assisted scoring of short written responses in a large‑scale national assessment. Using data from two recent test editions with about 5,000 student responses each, the authors validate that AI‑generated scores align moderately to highly with human raters across multiple rubric dimensions. The framework includes a correction workflow that flags cases needing human review, thereby reducing manual workload while maintaining assessment quality.

The paper introduces a human‑in‑the‑loop framework for AI‑assisted scoring of short written responses in a large‑scale national assessment. Using data from two recent test editions with about 5,000 responses each, the study validates that AI-generated scores align moderately to highly with human raters across multiple rubric dimensions. The framework also identifies when human review is most needed, allowing more efficient allocation of expert effort while maintaining assessment quality.

From Scoring to Explanations: Evaluating SHAP and LLM Rationales for Rubric-based Teaching Quality Assessment

arXiv:2606. 05180v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automated scoring models are increasingly used to assign rubric-based quality ratings to complex language performances, including classroom transcripts, yet they typically provide little insight into why a particular score is produced.

Generative AI performance in core undergraduate mathematics: a curriculum-level case study

The study examines how generative AI tools like ChatGPT perform on typical first‑year undergraduate mathematics assessment questions. By generating, transcribing, and blind‑marking AI responses to eight assessments covering the entire curriculum, the authors find that AI attains a first‑class level of performance, with consistency across modules that exceeds that of students in invigilated exams. The results suggest a need to redesign mathematics assessments to address the impact of generative AI.

I code or AI code: A comparative evaluation of AI-rated scores in classroom observations

The study evaluated whether a large language model (GPT‑5) could score teacher‑child interactions in early childhood classrooms using the Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS) framework, comparing its results to human raters. Across 87 video‑recorded observations from 38 classrooms in Hong Kong, AI scores converged most closely with human ratings in the Emotional Support domain, especially the Quality of Feedback dimension, while diverging more in procedural or context‑dependent areas such as Classroom Organization and Instructional Support. The findings suggest that transcript‑based AI scoring can serve as a preliminary screening tool to aid teacher reflection, but it is not yet reliable enough to replace trained observers for full CLASS evaluations.

Automated grading of Linux/bash examinations using large language models: a four-level cognitive taxonomy approach

arXiv:2607. 02432v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scalable and reliable grading of command-line examinations remains a challenge in computing education, where rising enrolments make manual marking difficult and rule-based autograders cannot handle partial credit, equivalent solutions, or syntactic variation.
