Muckle, Timothy J.; Meng, Yu; Johnson, Samuel – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2022
The COVID-19 pandemic has witnessed a renewed interest in Live Remote Proctoring (LRP), not only as a test availability measure but as a necessity to maintain business continuity. Many certification organizations have correspondingly provided LRP as an option for candidates. This study describes a retrospective, observational pilot study…

McNamara, Jennifer; Bent, Margaret; Grace, Paul – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2019
Certification is often viewed to promote lifelong professional development. Industry accreditation agencies include standards for the Maintenance of Certification (MOC) that emphasize the measurement or promotion of continued competency throughout an individual's professional career. In 2013, NBCOT partnered with BreakAway Games to create the…

Li, Ying; Jiao, Hong; Lissitz, Robert W. – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2012
This study investigated the application of multidimensional item response theory (IRT) models to validate test structure and dimensionality. Multiple content areas or domains within a single subject often exist in large-scale achievement tests. Such areas or domains may cause multidimensionality or local item dependence, which both violate the…

Katz, Irvin R.; Tannenbaum, Richard J. – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2014
Web-based standard setting holds promise for reducing the travel and logistical inconveniences of traditional, face-to-face standard setting meetings. However, because there are few published reports of setting standards via remote meeting technology, little is known about the practical potential of the approach, including technical feasibility of…

Lissitz, Robert W.; Hou, Xiaodong; Slater, Sharon Cadman – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2012
This article investigates several questions regarding the impact of different item formats on measurement characteristics. Constructed response (CR) items and multiple choice (MC) items obviously differ in their formats and in the resources needed to score them. As such, they have been the subject of considerable discussion regarding the impact of…

Moen, Ross; Liu, Kristi; Thurlow, Martha; Lekwa, Adam; Scullin, Sarah; Hausmann, Kristin – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2009
Some students are less accurately measured by typical reading tests than other students. By asking teachers to identify students whose performance on state reading tests would likely underestimate their reading skills, this study sought to learn about characteristics of less accurately measured students while also evaluating how well teachers can…

Kobrin, Jennifer L.; Deng, Hui; Shaw, Emily J. – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2007
This study was designed to address two frequent criticisms of the SAT essay--that essay length is the best predictor of scores, and that there is an advantage in using more "sophisticated" examples as opposed to personal experience. The study was based on 2,820 essays from the first three administrations of the new SAT. Each essay was…
