Richard G. Kunkel – Journal of Legal Studies Education, 2024
For many professors, testing is primarily a tool for assessing the learning of students. However, research into the "testing effect" has established the value of testing also as a learning tool, not just as an assessment tool. This article provides an overview of this research and also of my own experiences in using a variety of testing…

Baldwin, Peter; Clauser, Brian E. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2022
While score comparability across test forms typically relies on common (or randomly equivalent) examinees or items, innovations in item formats, test delivery, and efforts to extend the range of score interpretation may require a special data collection before examinees or items can be used in this way--or may be incompatible with common examinee…

Zubanova, Svetlana; Bodrova, Tatyana; Kruchkovich, Sofia – Journal of Educational Psychology - Propositos y Representaciones, 2020
Testing is a modern high-quality method of knowledge check. Informatization which began in the late XX-early XXI century contributed to the growth of various tests. However, the inclusion of tests in the educational process is at a slower pace. This is largely due to the lack of a methodological basis for test development. It is proved that the…

Linhart, Jean Marie – PRIMUS, 2020
Math courses graded on homework, tests, and a final examination can result in students putting together enough partial credit to pass the class without gaining a reasonable mastery of the course content. Mastery-based testing can help to address this by allowing the instructor to align course grades with mastery of the learning objectives for the…

Ketabi, Somaye; Alavi, Seyyed Mohammed; Ravand, Hamdollah – International Journal of Language Testing, 2021
Although Diagnostic Classification Models (DCMs) were introduced to education system decades ago, it seems that these models were not employed for the original aims upon which they had been designed. Using DCMs has been mostly common in analyzing large-scale non-diagnostic tests and these models have been rarely used in developing Cognitive…

Villarroel, Verónica; Boud, David; Bloxham, Susan; Bruna, Daniela; Bruna, Carola – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2020
Tests and examinations are widely used internationally. Despite their pervasiveness, they tend to measure lower order thinking skills in a decontextualized manner at a time when the literature frequently argues for the benefits of a richer, authentic approach to assessment. The focus of this paper is to improve authenticity in test assessment…

Jamie L. Schissel – Critical Inquiry in Language Studies, 2025
Drawing from humanizing pedagogies (Bartolome, 1994; del Carmen Salazar; Freire & Ramos, 1993) and humanizing research (Paris & Winn, 2013), in this article I propose an approach to "humanizing assessment" that begins with the position that inclusive and equitable educational opportunities and assessment practices that meet the…
