Cheng, Yiling – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2023
Computerized adaptive testing (CAT) offers an efficient and highly accurate method for estimating examinees' abilities. In this article, the free version of Concerto Software for CAT was reviewed, dividing our evaluation into three sections: software implementation, the Item Response Theory (IRT) features of CAT, and user experience. Overall,…

Chen, Fu; Lu, Chang; Cui, Ying; Gao, Yizhu – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2023
Learning outcome modeling is a technical underpinning for the successful evaluation of learners' learning outcomes through computer-based assessments. In recent years, collaborative filtering approaches have gained popularity as a technique to model learners' item responses. However, how to model the temporal dependencies between item responses…

Han, Suhwa; Kang, Hyeon-Ah – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2023
The study presents multivariate sequential monitoring procedures for examining test-taking behaviors online. The procedures monitor examinee's responses and response times and signal aberrancy as soon as significant change is identifieddetected in the test-taking behavior. The study in particular proposes three schemes to track different…

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…

van der Linden, Wim J. – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2022
Two independent statistical tests of item compromise are presented, one based on the test takers' responses and the other on their response times (RTs) on the same items. The tests can be used to monitor an item in real time during online continuous testing but are also applicable as part of post hoc forensic analysis. The two test statistics are…

Jewsbury, Paul A.; van Rijn, Peter W. – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2020
In large-scale educational assessment data consistent with a simple-structure multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) model, where every item measures only one latent variable, separate unidimensional item response theory (UIRT) models for each latent variable are often calibrated for practical reasons. While this approach can be valid for…

Nazaretsky, Tanya; Hershkovitz, Sara; Alexandron, Giora – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2019
Sequencing items in adaptive learning systems typically relies on a large pool of interactive question items that are analyzed into a hierarchy of skills, also known as Knowledge Components (KCs). Educational data mining techniques can be used to analyze students response data in order to optimize the mapping of items to KCs, with similarity-based…

Feuerstahler, Leah M.; Waller, Niels; MacDonald, Angus, III – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2020
Although item response models have grown in popularity in many areas of educational and psychological assessment, there are relatively few applications of these models in experimental psychopathology. In this article, we explore the use of item response models in the context of a computerized cognitive task designed to assess visual working memory…

Behizadeh, Nadia; Lynch, Tom Liam – Berkeley Review of Education, 2017
For the last century, the quality of large-scale assessment in the United States has been undermined by narrow educational theory and hindered by limitations in technology. As a result, poor assessment practices have encouraged low-level instructional practices that disparately affect students from the most disadvantaged communities and schools.…

Scoular, Claire; Eleftheriadou, Sofia; Ramalingam, Dara; Cloney, Dan – Australian Journal of Education, 2020
Collaboration is a complex skill, comprised of multiple subskills, that is of growing interest to policy makers, educators and researchers. Several definitions and frameworks have been described in the literature to support assessment of collaboration; however, the inherent structure of the construct still needs better definition. In 2015, the…

Wise, Steven L. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2017
The rise of computer-based testing has brought with it the capability to measure more aspects of a test event than simply the answers selected or constructed by the test taker. One behavior that has drawn much research interest is the time test takers spend responding to individual multiple-choice items. In particular, very short response…

Thompson, Greg – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2017
This article critically considers the promise of computer adaptive testing (CAT) and digital data to provide better and quicker data that will improve the quality, efficiency and effectiveness of schooling. In particular, it uses the case of the Australian NAPLAN test that will become an online, adaptive test from 2016. The article argues that…

Capacho, Jose – Turkish Online Journal of Distance Education, 2017
This paper aims at showing a new methodology to assess student learning in virtual spaces supported by Information and Communications Technology-ICT. The methodology is based on the Conceptual Pedagogy Theory, and is supported both on knowledge instruments (KI) and intelectual operations (IO). KI are made up of teaching materials embedded in the…

James, Syretta R.; Liu, Shihching Jessica; Maina, Nyambura; Wade, Julie; Wang, Helen; Wilson, Heather; Wolanin, Natalie – Montgomery County Public Schools, 2021
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to overwhelm the functioning and outcomes of educational systems throughout the nation. The public education system is under particular scrutiny given that students, families, and educators are under considerable stress to maintain academic progress. Since the beginning of the crisis, school-systems…

Alzaid, Faten; Alkarzae, Nouf – Online Submission, 2019
Assessment has a significant influence on the process of teaching and learning. It is essential to close the gap between learners' performance and the target performance. The rapid changing of technology reached the assessment community by developing new and different ways of formative assessments. This paper is written to distinguish between…
