Aybek, Eren Can – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2021
The study aims to introduce catIRT tools which facilitates researchers' Item Response Theory (IRT) and Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) simulations. catIRT tools provides an interface for mirt and catR packages through the shiny package in R. Through this interface, researchers can apply IRT calibration and CAT simulations although they do not…

Becker, Kirk A.; Kao, Shu-chuan – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2022
Natural Language Processing (NLP) offers methods for understanding and quantifying the similarity between written documents. Within the testing industry these methods have been used for automatic item generation, automated scoring of text and speech, modeling item characteristics, automatic question answering, machine translation, and automated…

Mead, Alan D.; Zhou, Chenxuan – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2022
This study fit a Naïve Bayesian classifier to the words of exam items to predict the Bloom's taxonomy level of the items. We addressed five research questions, showing that reasonably good prediction of Bloom's level was possible, but accuracy varies across levels. In our study, performance for Level 2 was poor (Level 2 items were misclassified…

Cole, Brian S.; Lima-Walton, Elia; Brunnert, Kim; Vesey, Winona Burt; Raha, Kaushik – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2020
Automatic item generation can rapidly generate large volumes of exam items, but this creates challenges for assembly of exams which aim to include syntactically diverse items. First, we demonstrate a diminishing marginal syntactic return for automatic item generation using a saturation detection approach. This analysis can help users of automatic…

Wise, Steven L.; Soland, James; Dupray, Laurence M. – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2021
Technology-Enhanced Items (TEIs) have been purported to be more motivating and engaging to test takers than traditional multiple-choice items. The claim of enhanced engagement, however, has thus far received limited research attention. This study examined the rates of rapid-guessing behavior received by three types of items (multiple-choice,…

Kosh, Audra E. – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2021
In recent years, Automatic Item Generation (AIG) has increasingly shifted from theoretical research to operational implementation, a shift raising some unforeseen practical challenges. Specifically, generating high-quality answer choices presents several challenges such as ensuring that answer choices blend in nicely together for all possible item…

Wolkowitz, Amanda A.; Foley, Brett P.; Zurn, Jared – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2021
As assessments move from traditional paper-pencil administration to computer-based administration, many testing programs are incorporating alternative item types (AITs) into assessments with the goals of measuring higher-order thinking, offering insight into problem-solving, and representing authentic real-world tasks. This paper explores multiple…

Laughlin Davis, Laurie; Morrison, Kristin; Zhou-Yile Schnieders, Joyce; Marsh, Benjamin – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2021
With the shift to next generation digital assessments, increased attention has focused on Technology-Enhanced Assessments and Items (TEIs). This study evaluated the feasibility of a high-fidelity digital assessment item response format, which allows students to solve mathematics questions on a tablet using a digital pen. This digital ink approach…

Furter, Robert T. – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2019
Standard setting is the process of identifying the point(s) on a scale that serve to differentiate between individuals of distinct proficiency levels. While standard setting is ultimately a policy decision, most of the process is carried out by subject matter experts who are tasked with reconciling item-level or examinee-level information (e.g.…

Betts, Joe; Muntean, William; Kim, Doyoung; Jorion, Natalie; Dickison, Philip – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2019
Clinical judgment has become an increasingly important aspect of modern health service professionals. To ensure public safety, licensure exams must go beyond assessing only knowledge and skills when evaluating entry-level professions to evaluating clinical judgment. This importance necessitates licensure and certification examinations in these…

Russell, Michael – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2016
Interest in and use of technology-enhanced items has increased over the past decade. Given the additional time required to administer many technology-enhanced items and the increased expense required to develop them, it is important for testing programs to consider the utility of technology-enhanced items. The Technology-Enhanced Item Utility…

Wolkowitz, Amanda A.; Davis-Becker, Susan L.; Gerrow, Jack D. – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2016
The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of a cheating prevention strategy employed for a professional credentialing exam that involved releasing over 7,000 active and retired exam items. This study evaluated: 1) If any significant differences existed between examinee performance on released versus non-released items; 2) If item…

Dickison, Philip; Luo, Xiao; Kim, Doyoung; Woo, Ada; Muntean, William; Bergstrom, Betty – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2016
Designing a theory-based assessment with sound psychometric qualities to measure a higher-order cognitive construct is a highly desired yet challenging task for many practitioners. This paper proposes a framework for designing a theory-based assessment to measure a higher-order cognitive construct. This framework results in a modularized yet…

Gierl, Mark J.; Lai, Hollis; Hogan, James B.; Matovinovic, Donna – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2015
The demand for test items far outstrips the current supply. This increased demand can be attributed, in part, to the transition to computerized testing, but, it is also linked to dramatic changes in how 21st century educational assessments are designed and administered. One way to address this growing demand is with automatic item generation.…

Luecht, Richard M. – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2013
Assessment engineering is a new way to design and implement scalable, sustainable and ideally lower-cost solutions to the complexities of designing and developing tests. It represents a merger of sorts between cognitive task modeling and engineering design principles--a merger that requires some new thinking about the nature of score scales, item…
