Camille Landesvatter; Paul C. Bauer – Sociological Methods & Research, 2025
Trust is a foundational concept of contemporary sociological theory. Still, empirical research on trust relies on a relatively small set of measures. These are increasingly debated, potentially undermining large swathes of empirical evidence. Drawing on a combination of open-ended probing data, supervised machine learning, and a U.S.…

Karoline A. Sachse; Sebastian Weirich; Nicole Mahler; Camilla Rjosk – International Journal of Testing, 2024
In order to ensure content validity by covering a broad range of content domains, the testing times of some educational large-scale assessments last up to a total of two hours or more. Performance decline over the course of taking the test has been extensively documented in the literature. It can occur due to increases in the numbers of: (a)…

Kelly Edwards; James Soland – Educational Assessment, 2024
Classroom observational protocols, in which raters observe and score the quality of teachers' instructional practices, are often used to evaluate teachers for consequential purposes despite evidence that scores from such protocols are frequently driven by factors, such as rater and temporal effects, that have little to do with teacher quality. In…

Kylie Gorney; Sandip Sinharay – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2025
Although there exists an extensive amount of research on subscores and their properties, limited research has been conducted on categorical subscores and their interpretations. In this paper, we focus on the claim of Feinberg and von Davier that categorical subscores are useful for remediation and instructional purposes. We investigate this claim…

Haeju Lee; Kyung Yong Kim – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2025
When no prior information of differential item functioning (DIF) exists for items in a test, either the rank-based or iterative purification procedure might be preferred. The rank-based purification selects anchor items based on a preliminary DIF test. For a preliminary DIF test, likelihood ratio test (LRT) based approaches (e.g.,…

Tom Benton – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2025
This paper proposes an extension of linear equating that may be useful in one of two fairly common assessment scenarios. One is where different students have taken different combinations of test forms. This might occur, for example, where students have some free choice over the exam papers they take within a particular qualification. In this…

Wenxiao Gong; Tao Leng; Yanyan Ding; Sisi Wang; Zhenzhen Qi; Yuzheng Wang – Psychology in the Schools, 2025
Migrant children are more likely to experience challenging circumstances and exhibit greater emotional and behavioral difficulties than native children. Nowadays, mindfulness training (MT) has been employed as a means of enhancing health-related outcomes in children and adolescents, with promising results. The present study employed a randomized…

Lauren E. Bates; Sarah J. Myers; Edward L. DeLosh; Matthew G. Rhodes – Psychology Learning and Teaching, 2025
The present work assessed a quizzing method that combines the benefits of retrieval practice and feedback, whereby learners must continue taking quizzes until they achieve a perfect score with feedback provided (i.e., "mastery quizzing"). Across four experiments (n = 952; age 18-76, M = 37.10, SD = 11.61; 50% female, 48% male, 2% other…

Abigail R. Vild; Maggie E. Wilson; Christopher A. Was – Journal of Research in Education, 2025
Theories of self-regulated learning suggest a positive link between knowledge monitoring accuracy (the ability to predict test performance) and performance on tests. Put differently, students who accurately monitor their knowledge of course content more efficiently regulate study of course materials. However, a plethora of literature indicates…

Stefan O'Grady – TESOL Journal, 2025
Task-based language assessment represents a major component of task-based language teaching syllabi. Current perspectives emphasise the importance of tasks in the assessment process, suggesting that adherence to influential models of language production during task design yields predictable test outcomes. The current study contends that the…

Luping Wang; Yun Hao; Shanshan Wang – Discover Education, 2025
In the traditional teaching mode, it is difficult for teachers to have a comprehensive understanding of each student's study, and it is also hard for them to provide targeted guidance and assistance. With the development of data collection and analysis technology, schools and educational institutions can make better use of big data technology to…

Blake H. Heller – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2024
In 2016, the GED® introduced college readiness benchmarks designed to identify testers who are academically prepared for credit-bearing college coursework. The benchmarks are promoted as awarding college credits or exempting "college-ready" GED® graduates from remedial coursework. I show descriptive evidence that those identified as…

Marion Durbahn; Michael Rodgers; Marijana Macis; Elke Peters – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2024
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between lexical coverage and TV viewing comprehension. Previous studies have indicated that 95% to 98% of lexical coverage may be needed for reading comprehension (Hu & Nation, 2000). To understand informal listening passages, lower coverage figures (95%-90%) may suffice. However, no study has…

Stella Y. Kim; Sungyeun Kim – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2025
This study presents several multivariate Generalizability theory designs for analyzing automatic item-generated (AIG) based test forms. The study used real data to illustrate the analysis procedure and discuss practical considerations. We collected the data from two groups of students, each group receiving a different form generated by AIG. A…

Kristen Bottema-Beutel; Shannon Crowley LaPoint; So Yoon Kim; Sarah Mohiuddin; Qun Yu; Rachael McKinnon – Exceptional Children, 2024
In this secondary analysis of a previously conducted systematic review, we analyze social validity assessments in intervention research for transition-age autistic youth. Social validity is concerned with the acceptability of the intervention goals, the acceptability and feasibility of the intervention procedures, and the perceived importance of…
