Monica Casella; Pasquale Dolce; Michela Ponticorvo; Nicola Milano; Davide Marocco – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2024
Short-form development is an important topic in psychometric research, which requires researchers to face methodological choices at different steps. The statistical techniques traditionally used for shortening tests, which belong to the so-called exploratory model, make assumptions not always verified in psychological data. This article proposes a…

Mustafa Ilhan; Nese Güler; Gülsen Tasdelen Teker; Ömer Ergenekon – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2024
This study aimed to examine the effects of reverse items created with different strategies on psychometric properties and respondents' scale scores. To this end, three versions of a 10-item scale in the research were developed: 10 positive items were integrated in the first form (Form-P) and five positive and five reverse items in the other two…

Cornelia Eva Neuert – Sociological Methods & Research, 2024
The quality of data in surveys is affected by response burden and questionnaire length. With an increasing number of questions, respondents can become bored, tired, and annoyed and may take shortcuts to reduce the effort needed to complete the survey. In this article, direct evidence is presented on how the position of items within a web…

Jan Karem Höhne; Achim Goerres – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2024
The measurement of political solidarities and related concepts is an important endeavor in numerous scientific disciplines, such as political and social science research. European surveys, such as the Eurobarometer, frequently measure these concepts for people's home country and Europe raising questions with respect to the order of precedence.…

Fu-Yun Yu – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Currently, 50 + learning systems supporting student question-generation (SQG) activities have been developed. While generating questions of different types is supported in many of these systems, systems allowing students to generate questions around a scenario (i.e. student testlet-generation, STG) are not yet available. Noting the increasing…

Peter A. Edelsbrunner; Bianca A. Simonsmeier; Michael Schneider – Educational Psychology Review, 2025
Knowledge is an important predictor and outcome of learning and development. Its measurement is challenged by the fact that knowledge can be integrated and homogeneous, or fragmented and heterogeneous, which can change through learning. These characteristics of knowledge are at odds with current standards for test development, demanding a high…

Wim J. van der Linden; Luping Niu; Seung W. Choi – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2024
A test battery with two different levels of adaptation is presented: a within-subtest level for the selection of the items in the subtests and a between-subtest level to move from one subtest to the next. The battery runs on a two-level model consisting of a regular response model for each of the subtests extended with a second level for the joint…

Kyung-Mi O. – Language Testing in Asia, 2024
This study examines the efficacy of artificial intelligence (AI) in creating parallel test items compared to human-made ones. Two test forms were developed: one consisting of 20 existing human-made items and another with 20 new items generated with ChatGPT assistance. Expert reviews confirmed the content parallelism of the two test forms.…

Khagendra Raj Dhakal; Richard Watson Todd; Natjiree Jaturapitakkul – rEFLections, 2024
Test input has often been taken as a given in test design practice. Nearly all guides for test designers provide extensive coverage of how to design test items but pay little attention to test input. This paper presents the case that test input plays a crucial role in designing tests of soft skills that have rarely been assessed in existing tests.…

Stephen G. Sireci; Javier Suárez-Álvarez; April L. Zenisky; Maria Elena Oliveri – Grantee Submission, 2024
The goal in personalized assessment is to best fit the needs of each individual test taker, given the assessment purposes. Design-In-Real-Time (DIRTy) assessment reflects the progressive evolution in testing from a single test, to an adaptive test, to an adaptive assessment "system." In this paper, we lay the foundation for DIRTy…
