Mathias Benedek; Roger E. Beaty – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2025
The PISA assessment 2022 of creative thinking was a moonshot effort that introduced significant advancements over existing creativity tests, including a broad range of domains (written, visual, social, and scientific), implementation in many languages, and sophisticated scoring methods. PISA 2022 demonstrated the general feasibility of assessing…

Esther Ulitzsch; Janine Buchholz; Hyo Jeong Shin; Jonas Bertling; Oliver Lüdtke – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2024
Common indicator-based approaches to identifying careless and insufficient effort responding (C/IER) in survey data scan response vectors or timing data for aberrances, such as patterns signaling straight lining, multivariate outliers, or signals that respondents rushed through the administered items. Each of these approaches is susceptible to…

Esther Ulitzsch; Steffi Pohl; Lale Khorramdel; Ulf Kroehne; Matthias von Davier – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2024

Response bias may pose an additional source of variation between respondents that threatens validity of conclusions drawn from questionnaire data. We present a mixture modeling approach that leverages response time data from…

Giada Spaccapanico Proietti; Mariagiulia Matteucci; Stefania Mignani; Bernard P. Veldkamp – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2024
Classical automated test assembly (ATA) methods assume fixed and known coefficients for the constraints and the objective function. This hypothesis is not true for the estimates of item response theory parameters, which are crucial elements in test assembly classical models. To account for uncertainty in ATA, we propose a chance-constrained…

Matthias von Davier, Editor; Ann Kennedy, Editor – International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement, 2024
The Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) has been monitoring international trends in reading achievement among fourth-grade students for 25 years. As a critical point in a student's education, the fourth year of schooling establishes the foundations of literacy, with reading becoming increasingly central to learning across all…
