Augustin Mutak; Robert Krause; Esther Ulitzsch; Sören Much; Jochen Ranger; Steffi Pohl – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2024
Understanding the intraindividual relation between an individual's speed and ability in testing scenarios is essential to assure a fair assessment. Different approaches exist for estimating this relationship, that either rely on specific study designs or on specific assumptions. This paper aims to add to the toolbox of approaches for estimating…

Özaydin, Zeynep; Arslan, Çigdem – Journal of Theoretical Educational Science, 2022
The aim of this study is to develop a rubric to assess mathematical reasoning competence. Since the aim is to assess a competency, the frameworks of the PISA exams in the literature, which give an important place to competencies, have been examined. Due to its focus and in-depth analysis of mathematical reasoning, each of the actions expected from…

John Jerrim; Luis Alejandro Lopez-Agudo; Oscar David Marcenaro-Gutierrez – British Journal of Educational Studies, 2024
International large-scale assessments have gained much attention since the beginning of the twenty-first century, influencing education legislation in many countries. This includes Spain, where they have been used by successive governments to justify education policy change. Unfortunately, there was a problem with the PISA 2018 reading scores for…

Esra Sözer Boz – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
International large-scale assessments provide cross-national data on students' cognitive and non-cognitive characteristics. A critical methodological issue that often arises in comparing data from cross-national studies is ensuring measurement invariance, indicating that the construct under investigation is the same across the compared groups.…

Kohen, Zehavit; Gharra-Badran, Yasmin – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications, 2023
Mathematics modelling is a vital competency for students of all ages. In this study, we aim to fill the research gap about valid and reliable tools for assessing and grading mathematical modeling problems, particularly those reflecting multiple steps of the modelling cycle. We present in this paper the design of a reliable and valid assessment…

Wondimu Ahmed – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2024
This study examined the psychometric properties of the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule for Children-Short Form (PANAS-C-SF) in a diverse sample of 15-year-olds in the United States [N = 4382]. Multiple measurement models, including a one-factor model, two-factor orthogonal and oblique models, a three-factor model (PA, Fear, and Distress),…

Xiao, Leifeng; Hau, Kit-Tai – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2023
We examined the performance of coefficient alpha and its potential competitors (ordinal alpha, omega total, Revelle's omega total [omega RT], omega hierarchical [omega h], greatest lower bound [GLB], and coefficient "H") with continuous and discrete data having different types of non-normality. Results showed the estimation bias was…

Ken Ardon – Pioneer Institute for Public Policy Research, 2024
This paper reviews overall student performance as well as the performance of student subgroups on the assessment system developed in response to the Massachusetts Education Reform Act of 1993 (MERA), the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS). Comparing students in Massachusetts to students in the rest of the United States or against…

Wang, Faming; Wang, Yehui; Liu, Yaping; Leung, Shing On – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2023
The importance of the opportunity to learn (OTL) for mathematics achievement has been extensively researched. However, there were still unanswered questions regarding OTL's measurement, analytical level, and relationship with motivational beliefs. To fill in the gaps, we aimed to (1) scrutinize the reliability and validity of OTL, (2) investigate…

Polat, Murat; Toraman, Çetin; Turhan, Nihan Sölpük – International Journal of Curriculum and Instruction, 2022
PISA (Program for International Student Assessment) tests have enabled the OECD countries to see not only the success of their students in gaining the ability to solve some daily problems they may encounter in their lives but also the place in the world rankings as a result of an objective evaluation comparing the achievement results of…

Wicaksono, Azizul Ghofar Candra; Korom, Erzsébet – Participatory Educational Research, 2022
The accuracy of learning results relies on the evaluation and assessment. The learning goals, including problem solving ability must be aligned with the valid standardized measurement tools. The study on exploring the nature of problem-solving, framework, and assessment in the Indonesian context will make contributions to problem solving…

Shu-Fen Lin; Wan-Chin Shie – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
Teachers lack effective curriculum-based instruments to assess their students' scientific competence that would provide information for modifying their inquiry instruction. The main purpose of this study was to develop and validate a Curriculum-Based Scientific Competence (CBSC) test to assess students' scientific competence in a 1-semester Grade…

Marksteiner, Tamara; Kuger, Susanne; Klieme, Eckhard – Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice, 2019
We investigate whether Anchoring Vignettes (AV) improve intercultural comparability of non-cognitive student-directed factors (e.g., procrastination). So far, correlation analyses for anchored and non-anchored scores with a criterion have been used to demonstrate the effectiveness of AV in improving data quality. However, correlation analyses are…

Gulsah Gurkan – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Secondary analyses of international large-scale assessments (ILSA) commonly characterize relationships between variables of interest using correlations. However, the accuracy of correlation estimates is impaired by artefacts such as measurement error and clustering. Despite advancements in methodology, conventional correlation estimates or…
