Peer reviewedBasaraba, Deni L.; Yovanoff, Paul; Shivraj, Pooja; Ketterlin-Geller, Leanne R. – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2020
Stopping rules for fixed-form tests with graduated item difficulty are intended to stop administration of a test at the point where students are sufficiently unlikely to provide a correct response following a pattern of incorrect responses. Although widely employed in fixed-form tests in education, little research has been done to empirically…

Wan, Lei; Henly, George A. – Applied Measurement in Education, 2012
Many innovative item formats have been proposed over the past decade, but little empirical research has been conducted on their measurement properties. This study examines the reliability, efficiency, and construct validity of two innovative item formats--the figural response (FR) and constructed response (CR) formats used in a K-12 computerized…
