School leadership research literature has a large number of widely used constructs. Could fewer constructs bring more clarity? This study evaluates construct content validity, defined as the extent to which a measure's items reflect a theoretical content domain, in school leadership literature. To do so, we reviewed 29 articles that used Teaching…

The purpose of this synthesis study was to assess the reliability and validity of the Draw-A-Scientist Test (DAST) and its variations across multiple studies, aiming to understand limitations and propose modifications for future application within and beyond the science domain. Given the existence of multiple DAST versions, this study quantified…

Cognitive diagnostic assessment is known for its capacity to provide detailed feedback to test-takers, which can inform instruction and guide learning. Besides this core strength of the assessment approach, the measurement procedure also works as a construct validation method in itself. Previous studies do not call attention to this aspect of…

The teaching of English as a foreign language in Indonesia has a long history, and it is always important to ask whether the assessment of the students' language skills has been valid and reliable. A screening of many articles in several prominent databases reveal that a number of evaluation studies have been done by Indonesian scholars in the…

Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) is one of the most frequently used gifted identification tools. In this meta-analytic study, we investigated empirical evidence of the validity of CogAT, in relation to different types of instruments. After reviewing 1,480 studies, a total of 24 with 33 effect sizes were included in the meta-analysis. According to…

In this paper, we provide a conceptual framework of the central aspects of mathematical definitions discussed in the mathematics education literature. Based on a systematic literature review, we found that characterizations of definitions in the mathematics education literature can be classified into five main themes: requirements, preferred…

This study reviews existing research on the use of large language models (LLMs) for automatic item generation (AIG). We performed a comprehensive literature search across seven research databases, selected studies based on predefined criteria, and summarized 60 relevant studies that employed LLMs in the AIG process. We identified the most commonly…

This paper aims to synthesize measures of assessment literacy in higher education by forging a connection between two research domains: educational assessment and psychometrics. It begins with a systematic review of assessment literacy measures within the context of higher education published within the last ten years. AL measures, including tests…

Aptitude testing is used to select candidates with the greatest potential for professional interpreter training. Implicit in this practice is the expectation that aptitude test scores predict future performance. As such, the predictive validity of score-based inferences and decisions constitutes an important rationale for aptitude testing.…

Purpose: The current literature on school teacher-created summative assessment lacks a clear consensus regarding its definition and key principles. The purpose of this research was therefore to arrive at a cohesive understanding of what constitutes effective summative assessment. Design/methodology/approach: Conducting a systematic literature…

Background: Content validity is a key measurement property that should be considered when selecting or reviewing a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM). In the field of communication disorders, there are several PROMs available, most of which are disease specific. It is unknown what the quality of the content validity of these PROMs is. Aims:…

The study aimed to analyze, synthesize, and investigate the measurement properties of clinical tests that assess foot posture in children and adolescents. The study included research published in scientific journals that analyzed the measurement properties of clinical tests, focusing on the validity, reliability, responsiveness, or specificity of…

Effective collaboration depends on the mutual regulation of group members, positioning it as a fundamental aspect of socially shared regulation of learning (SSRL). In recent years, SSRL has garnered increasing research attention. However, there remains a scarcity of psychometrically sound measures for assessing this construct. Without reliable…

Selection and implementation of evidence-based reading interventions is a complex process that requires careful consideration of factors such as intervention effectiveness and social validity. Social validity refers to how key stakeholders, including teachers, students, and parents, perceive the goals, methods, and outcomes of an intervention.…

The study presented in this paper uses heuristics from computer linguistics and graph theory to analyze a systematic literature review on educational technology. A literature review was conducted to validate an expert-based taxonomy which was developed to ontologize delivered teaching and learning for easy reuse. The sample includes N = 121…
