What Are the Conditions Associated with Subscore Added Value Noninvariance? Implications for Improving Subscore Interpretation Fairness
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Rios, Joseph A.; Miranda, Alejandra A. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2021
Subscore added value analyses assume invariance across test taking populations; however, this assumption may be untenable in practice as differential subdomain relationships may be present among subgroups. The purpose of this simulation study was to understand the conditions associated with subscore added value noninvariance when manipulating: (1)…

Multidimensional Extension of Multiple Indicators Multiple Causes Models to Detect DIF
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lee, Soo; Bulut, Okan; Suh, Youngsuk – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2017
A number of studies have found multiple indicators multiple causes (MIMIC) models to be an effective tool in detecting uniform differential item functioning (DIF) for individual items and item bundles. A recently developed MIMIC-interaction model is capable of detecting both uniform and nonuniform DIF in the unidimensional item response theory…

The Matching Criterion Purification for Differential Item Functioning Analyses in a Large-Scale Assessment
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lee, HyeSun; Geisinger, Kurt F. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2016
The current study investigated the impact of matching criterion purification on the accuracy of differential item functioning (DIF) detection in large-scale assessments. The three matching approaches for DIF analyses (block-level matching, pooled booklet matching, and equated pooled booklet matching) were employed with the Mantel-Haenszel…

Effects of Differential Item Functioning on Examinees' Test Performance and Reliability of Test
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lee, Yi-Hsuan; Zhang, Jinming – International Journal of Testing, 2017
Simulations were conducted to examine the effect of differential item functioning (DIF) on measurement consequences such as total scores, item response theory (IRT) ability estimates, and test reliability in terms of the ratio of true-score variance to observed-score variance and the standard error of estimation for the IRT ability parameter. The…

James, Syretta R.; Liu, Shihching Jessica; Maina, Nyambura; Wade, Julie; Wang, Helen; Wilson, Heather; Wolanin, Natalie – Montgomery County Public Schools, 2021
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to overwhelm the functioning and outcomes of educational systems throughout the nation. The public education system is under particular scrutiny given that students, families, and educators are under considerable stress to maintain academic progress. Since the beginning of the crisis, school-systems…

Teacher Survey of the Accessibility and Text Features of the Computerized Oral Reading Evaluation (CORE). Technical Report #1601
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Kahn, Josh; Nese, Joseph T.; Alonzo, Julie – Behavioral Research and Teaching, 2016
There is strong theoretical support for oral reading fluency (ORF) as an essential building block of reading proficiency. The current and standard ORF assessment procedure requires that students read aloud a grade-level passage (˜ 250 words) in a one-to-one administration, with the number of words read correctly in 60 seconds constituting their…
