Nagy, Gabriel; Ulitzsch, Esther; Lindner, Marlit Annalena – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: Item response times in computerized assessments are frequently used to identify rapid guessing behaviour as a manifestation of response disengagement. However, non-rapid responses (i.e., with longer response times) are not necessarily engaged, which means that response-time-based procedures could overlook disengaged responses.…

Aaron McVay – ProQuest LLC, 2021
As assessments move towards computerized testing and making continuous testing available the need for rapid assembly of forms is increasing. The objective of this study was to investigate variability in assembled forms through the lens of first- and second-order equity properties of equating, by examining three factors and their interactions. Two…

Christina Hubertina Helena Maria Heemskerk; Claudia M. Roebers – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2024
Young children tend to rely on reactive cognitive control (e.g. strongly slow down after an error), even when task accuracy would benefit from proactive cognitive control (taking a slower task approach up front). We investigated if giving young primary school children opportunities to repeatedly experience tasks where success rates depend on…

Congning Ni; Bhashithe Abeysinghe; Juanita Hicks – International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 2025
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), often referred to as The Nation's Report Card, offers a window into the state of U.S. K-12 education system. Since 2017, NAEP has transitioned to digital assessments, opening new research opportunities that were previously impossible. Process data tracks students' interactions with the…

Schulz, Daniel; Richter, Tobias; Schindler, Julia; Lenhard, Wolfgang; Mangold, Madlen – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
Inhibitory control is a core executive function that develops during childhood and is measured with tasks that require the inhibition of a dominant response. The current study examined the diagnostic value of using response accuracy and latency in a simple inhibitory control test, the computerized Pointing-Stroop Task (cPST), for kindergarten…

Soland, James; Kuhfeld, Megan; Rios, Joseph – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2021
Low examinee effort is a major threat to valid uses of many test scores. Fortunately, several methods have been developed to detect noneffortful item responses, most of which use response times. To accurately identify noneffortful responses, one must set response time thresholds separating those responses from effortful ones. While other studies…

Ponce, Héctor R.; Mayer, Richard E.; Sitthiworachart, Jirarat; López, Mario J. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
The transition from paper-based tests to corresponding computer-administered tests allows for the incorporation of improved interfaces that support response making. The main research question is whether innovative interfaces affect test response time and/or response accuracy. This study compared performance on banked cloze tests using a…

Ponce, Héctor R.; Mayer, Richard E.; Loyola, María Soledad – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
One of the most common technology-enhanced items used in large-scale K-12 testing programs is the drag-and-drop response interaction. The main research questions in this study are: (a) Does adding a drag-and-drop interface to an online test affect the accuracy of student performance? (b) Does adding a drag-and-drop interface to an online test…

Kuhfeld, Megan; Soland, James – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2020
Educational stakeholders have long known that students might not be fully engaged when taking an achievement test and that such disengagement could undermine the inferences drawn from observed scores. Thanks to the growing prevalence of computer-based tests and the new forms of metadata they produce, researchers have developed and validated…

Auphan, Pauline; Ecalle, Jean; Magnan, Annie – Canadian Journal of Learning and Technology, 2020
The aim of this study is to propose advantages provided by computerized tools when assessing reading ability. A new computer-based reading assessment evaluating both word reading and reading comprehension processes was administered to 687 children in primary (N=400) and secondary (N=287) schools. Accuracy (weighted scores) and speed of access…

Ferman, Sara; Shmuel, Sapir Amira; Zaltz, Yael – Language Learning and Development, 2022
The acquisition of a new morphological rule can be influenced by numerous factors, including the type of feedback provided during learning. The present study aimed to test the effect of different feedback types on children's ability to learn and generalize an artificial morphological rule (AMR). Two groups of eight-year-olds learned to judge and…

Huang, Xin; Lin, Dan; Yang, Yiming; Xu, Yuhang; Chen, Qingrong; Tanenhaus, Michael K. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2021
While recent studies find that contextual diversity (CD) is a better determinant of visual word recognition than token frequency, there is a dearth of work comparing contextual diversity and token frequency in developing readers. In two sets of character and lexical decision experiments we examined token frequency and contextual diversity effects…

Brom, Michael Wayde – ProQuest LLC, 2016
Studies have shown that test anxiety has become more prevalent since the adoption of the No Child Left Behind Act in 2001 and that test anxiety negatively affects student achievement. Early research viewed test anxiety as being a unidimensional construct; however, recent research has purported that test anxiety is a multidimensional construct.…

Brinkhuis, Matthieu J. S.; Savi, Alexander O.; Hofman, Abe D.; Coomans, Frederik; van der Maas, Han L. J.; Maris, Gunter – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2018
With the advent of computers in education, and the ample availability of online learning and practice environments, enormous amounts of data on learning become available. The purpose of this paper is to present a decade of experience with analyzing and improving an online practice environment for math, which has thus far recorded over a billion…

Dindar, M.; Kabakçi Yurdakul, I.; Inan Dönmez, F. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2015
The majority of multimedia learning studies focus on the use of graphics in learning process but very few of them examine the role of graphics in testing students' knowledge. This study investigates the use of static graphics versus animated graphics in a computer-based English achievement test from a cognitive load theory perspective. Three…
