Assessment in the Time of COVID-19: Understanding Patterns of Student Disengagement during Remote Low-Stakes Testing
Wise, Steven L.; Kuhfeld, Megan R.; Cronin, John
Educational Assessment, v27 n2 p136-151 2022
The arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic had a profound effect on K-12 education. Most schools transitioned to remote instruction, and some used remote testing to assess student learning. Remote testing, however, is less controlled than in-school testing, leading to concerns regarding test-taking engagement. This study compared the disengagement of students remotely administered an adaptive interim assessment in spring 2020 with their disengagement on the assessment administered in-school during fall 2019. Results showed that disengagement gradually increased across grade level. This pattern was not meaningfully different between the two testing contexts, with the exception of results for American Indian/Alaska Native students, who showed higher disengagement under remote testing. In addition, the test's engagement feature -- which automatically paused the test event of a disengaged student and notified the test proctor -- had a consistently positive impact whether the proctor was in the same room as the student or proctoring was done remotely.
