Lim, Hwanggyu; Choe, Edison M. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2023
The residual differential item functioning (RDIF) detection framework was developed recently under a linear testing context. To explore the potential application of this framework to computerized adaptive testing (CAT), the present study investigated the utility of the RDIF[subscript R] statistic both as an index for detecting uniform DIF of…

Matayoshi, Jeffrey; Cosyn, Eric; Uzun, Hasan – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2021
Many recent studies have looked at the viability of applying recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to educational data. In most cases, this is done by comparing their performance to existing models in the artificial intelligence in education (AIED) and educational data mining (EDM) fields. While there is increasing evidence that, in many situations,…

Cui, Zhongmin; Liu, Chunyan; He, Yong; Chen, Hanwei – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2018
Allowing item review in computerized adaptive testing (CAT) is getting more attention in the educational measurement field as more and more testing programs adopt CAT. The research literature has shown that allowing item review in an educational test could result in more accurate estimates of examinees' abilities. The practice of item review in…

Yamamoto, Kentaro; Shin, Hyo Jeong; Khorramdel, Lale – OECD Publishing, 2019
This paper describes and evaluates a multistage adaptive testing (MSAT) design that was implemented for the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2018 main survey for the major domain of Reading. Through a simulation study, recovery of item response theory model parameters and measurement precision were examined. The PISA 2018 MSAT…

Wise, Steven L.; Kingsbury, G. Gage – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2016
This study examined the utility of response time-based analyses in understanding the behavior of unmotivated test takers. For the data from an adaptive achievement test, patterns of observed rapid-guessing behavior and item response accuracy were compared to the behavior expected under several types of models that have been proposed to represent…

Lane, Suzanne; Leventhal, Brian – Review of Research in Education, 2015
This chapter addresses the psychometric challenges in assessing English language learners (ELLs) and students with disabilities (SWDs). The first section addresses some general considerations in the assessment of ELLs and SWDs, including the prevalence of ELLs and SWDs in the student population, federal and state legislation that requires the…
