Federica Picasso – Research on Education and Media, 2024
In the current higher education context, the development of academics' competencies seems to be a crucial issue, with a strong focus on teaching, learning and assessment digital skills (Redecker & Punie, 2017). In connection with the framework of DigCompEdu (2017), it seems important to understand how to better sustain academics' new…

Alonzo, Alicia C.; Ke, Li – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2016
A new vision of science learning described in the "Next Generation Science Standards"--particularly the science and engineering practices and their integration with content--pose significant challenges for large-scale assessment. This article explores what might be learned from advances in large-scale science assessment and…

Herde, Christoph Nils; Wüstenberg, Sascha; Greiff, Samuel – Applied Measurement in Education, 2016
Complex Problem Solving (CPS) is seen as a cross-curricular 21st century skill that has attracted interest in large-scale-assessments. In the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2012, CPS was assessed all over the world to gain information on students' skills to acquire and apply knowledge while dealing with nontransparent…

Thompson, Nathan A.; Weiss, David J. – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2011
A substantial amount of research has been conducted over the past 40 years on technical aspects of computerized adaptive testing (CAT), such as item selection algorithms, item exposure controls, and termination criteria. However, there is little literature providing practical guidance on the development of a CAT. This paper seeks to collate some…

Park, Ok-choon; Tennyson, Robert D. – Contemporary Education Review, 1983
The theoretical rationales and procedures of five adaptive computer-based instruction models were reviewed: the mathematical model, the regression model, the Bayesian probabilistic model, the testing and branching model, and artificially intelligent instructional systems. Each model is assessed for contrast of methods and forms, identifiable…

Perkins, Kyle – Annual Review of Applied Linguistics, 1998
This review of research on testing of second-language reading addresses: general areas of interest in reading research, assessment; adaptation of a suitable first-language reading comprehension model for second-language assessment; reliance on a top-down model of reading comprehension; validity of multiple-choice reading comprehension tests;…

Brusilovsky, Peter; Miller, Philip – 1999
This paper provides a technology-based review of World Wide Web-based testing technologies. It suggests an evaluation framework that could be used by practitioners in Web-based education to understand and compare features available in various Web-based testing systems. In order to compare existing options, the life cycle of a question in Web-based…

Wang, Tianyou; Kolen, Michael J. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2001
Reviews research literature on comparability issues in computerized adaptive testing (CAT) and synthesizes issues specific to comparability and test security. Develops a framework for evaluating comparability that contains three categories of criteria: (1) validity; (2) psychometric property/reliability; and (3) statistical assumption/test…

Burstein, Jill; And Others – Annual Review of Applied Linguistics, 1996
Reviews current and developing technology uses that are relevant to language assessment and discusses examples of recent linguistic applications from the laboratory at the Educational Testing Service. The processes of language test development are described and the functions they serve from the perspective of a large testing organization are…

McCutchen, Deborah; Perfetti, Charles A. – 1982
Arguing that discourse coherence can provide a window on the writing processes that produce it, this paper describes developmental differences observed in children's writing and proposes a procedural model to account for those differences. The first section of the paper points out that a developmental model of the writing process should specify…

Woodward, John; Carnine, Douglas – Journal of Special Education Technology, 1993
Research and development activities of the last decade in the areas of assessment and effective instructional programs in mathematics for students with disabilities are reviewed. Encouraged by federal funding, a pervasive theme has been the use of an information processing framework. Automaticity, conceptual development, and cognitive modeling…

Brindley, Geoff – Annual Review of Applied Linguistics, 1998
This review of research on assessment of second-language listening abilities looks at some testing issues and challenges (assessing higher-level skills, confounding of skills, assessing listening in oral interaction, authenticity), discusses assessment methods and techniques (test administration, item formats), and considers potential applications…
