May, Henry; Blackman, Horatio; Van Horne, Sam; Tilley, Katherine; Farley-Ripple, Elizabeth N.; Shewchuk, Samantha; Agboh, Darren; Micklos, Deborah Amsden – Center for Research Use in Education, 2022
In this technical report, the Center for Research Use in Education (CRUE) presents the methodological design of a large-scale quantitative investigation of research use by school-based practitioners through the "Survey of Evidence in Education for Schools (SEE-S)." It documents the major technical aspects of the development of SEE-S,…

Peoples, Shelagh M. – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2016
High school graduation is "not yet a reliable indicator of college readiness", (Gaertner & McClarty, 2015, p2). As such, researchers are investigating the use of non-cognitive factors as predictors of College and Career Readiness (CCR). The College and Career Readiness Mathematical Practice Scale (CCRMS) was designed to measure…

Li, Dongmei; Yi, Qing; Harris, Deborah – ACT, Inc., 2017
In preparation for online administration of the ACT® test, ACT conducted studies to examine the comparability of scores between online and paper administrations, including a timing study in fall 2013, a mode comparability study in spring 2014, and a second mode comparability study in spring 2015. This report presents major findings from these…

Skemer, Melanie; Valentine, Erin Jacobs – MDRC, 2016
Large numbers of young people in the United States were in foster care or in juvenile justice custody as teenagers, and many of them have a difficult time making a successful transition to independent adulthood as they leave these systems. Most of them faced a number of disadvantages during childhood and often have poor outcomes across several…

Anderson, Daniel; Alonzo, Julie; Tindal, Gerald – Behavioral Research and Teaching, 2012
In this technical report, we describe the results of a study of mathematics items written to align with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in grades 6-8. In each grade, CCSS items were organized into forms, and the reliability of these forms was evaluated along with an experimental form including items aligned with the National Council of…

Wang, Ning; Wiser, Randall F.; Newman, Larry S. – 1999
Job analysis has played a fundamental role in developing and validating licensure and certification examinations, but research on what constitutes reliable and valid job analysis data is lacking. This paper examines the reliability and validity of job analysis survey results. Generalizability theory and the multi-facet Rasch item response theory…

Lee, Yong-Won; Kantor, Robert; Mollaun, Pam – 2002
This paper reports the results of generalizability theory (G) analyses done for new writing and speaking tasks for the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). For writing, a special focus was placed on evaluating the impact on the reliability of the number of raters (or ratings) per essay (one or two) and the number of tasks (one, two, or…

Lee, Yong-Won; Kantor, Robert; Mollaun, Pam – 2002
This study examines the score dependability of writing and speaking assessments from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) from the perspectives of univariate and multivariate generalizability theory (G-theory) and presents the findings of three separate G-theory studies. For writing, the focus was on evaluating the impact on…

Lee, Guemin; Lewis, Daniel M. – 2001
The Bookmark Standard Setting Procedure (Lewis, Mitzel, and Green, 1996) is an item-response-theory-based standard setting method that has been widely implemented by state testing programs. The primary purposes of this study were to: (1) estimate standard errors for cutscores that result from Bookmark standard settings under a generalizability…

Lee, Guemin; Fitzpatrick, Anne R.; Ito, Kyoko – 2001
School test performance is commonly summarized in terms of the percentage of students at or above a cut score (PAAC) that has been set on a test. Two approaches to estimating the standard errors for school PAACs were examined in this study: conditional standard errors and overall standard errors. The tests used were English language arts and…

Ellett, Chad D.; And Others – 1991
This paper presents the results of ongoing analyses of the reliability of the System for Teaching and Learning Assessment and Review (STAR) as a comprehensive measure of classroom teaching and learning for making teacher certification decisions. Focus was on the effects of high stakes assessment conditions for certification on the generalizability…
