Chen, Yinghan; Wang, Shiyu – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2023
Attribute hierarchy, the underlying prerequisite relationship among attributes, plays an important role in applying cognitive diagnosis models (CDM) for designing efficient cognitive diagnostic assessments. However, there are limited statistical tools to directly estimate attribute hierarchy from response data. In this study, we proposed a…

Jiawei Xiong; George Engelhard; Allan S. Cohen – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2025
It is common to find mixed-format data results from the use of both multiple-choice (MC) and constructed-response (CR) questions on assessments. Dealing with these mixed response types involves understanding what the assessment is measuring, and the use of suitable measurement models to estimate latent abilities. Past research in educational…

Fazlul, Ishtiaque; Koedel, Cory; Parsons, Eric; Qian, Cheng – National Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research (CALDER), 2021
We evaluate the feasibility of estimating test-score growth with a gap year in testing data, informing the scenario when state testing resumes after the 2020 COVID-19-induced test stoppage. Our research design is to simulate a gap year in testing using pre-COVID-19 data--when a true test gap did not occur--which facilitates comparisons of…

Hamed Ghaemi; Farina SaeidRezaei – International Journal of Language Testing, 2024
Incremental intelligence plays an important role in self-regulating and enhancing writing performance among language learners. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship among variables of the incremental theory of intelligence, self-regulatory writing strategies, implicit theory of writing, and writing performance in EFL learners. To…

Wang, Chun; Lu, Jing – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2021
In cognitive diagnostic assessment, multiple fine-grained attributes are measured simultaneously. Attribute hierarchies are considered important structural features of cognitive diagnostic models (CDMs) that provide useful information about the nature of attributes. Templin and Bradshaw first introduced a hierarchical diagnostic classification…

Afsharrad, Mohammad; Pishghadam, Reza; Baghaei, Purya – International Journal of Language Testing, 2023
Testing organizations are faced with increasing demand to provide subscores in addition to the total test score. However, psychometricians argue that most subscores do not have added value to be worth reporting. To have added value, subscores need to meet a number of criteria: they should be reliable, distinctive, and distinct from each other and…

Liu, Ren; Liu, Haiyan; Shi, Dexin; Jiang, Zhehan – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2022
Assessments with a large amount of small, similar, or often repetitive tasks are being used in educational, neurocognitive, and psychological contexts. For example, respondents are asked to recognize numbers or letters from a large pool of those and the number of correct answers is a count variable. In 1960, George Rasch developed the Rasch…

Bahari, Akbar; Zhang, Xue; Ardasheva, Yuliya – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
The lack of comprehensive language proficiency assessment models recognizing the nonlinearity and dynamicity of individual differences, as well as the fundamental differences between paper- and computer-assisted language assessments (CALA) served as the rationale to conduct the present study. Drawing on dynamic systems theory, a Nonlinear Dynamic…

Huilin Chen; Huan Mei – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2024
Based on theories on vocabulary knowledge, grammar knowledge, and reading comprehension subcomponents, ten attributes/subskills were defined for 50 items from relevant subtests of TEM4 (Band Four of Test for English Majors in China). Cognitive diagnosis was conducted on the TEM4 data of the randomly sampled 2285 examinees (roughly at the B2 level)…

Kremmel, Benjamin; Harding, Luke – Language Assessment Quarterly, 2020
While scholars have proposed different models of language assessment literacy (LAL), these models have mostly comprised prescribed sets of components based on principles of good practice. As such, these models remain theoretical in nature, and represent the perspectives of language assessment researchers rather than stakeholders themselves. The…

Reza Zabihi; Shiva Ghominejad; Mohammad Javad Ahmadian – Language Teaching Research, 2024
This study aimed to investigate whether and how willingness to communicate, communication in English anxiety, behavioural inhibition and action predict perceived second language (L2) fluency. The study also looked at whether L2 proficiency moderates the strength of relationships between these affective factors and L2 perceived fluency. One hundred…

Qian, Jiahe; Li, Shuhong – ETS Research Report Series, 2021
In recent years, harmonic regression models have been applied to implement quality control for educational assessment data consisting of multiple administrations and displaying seasonality. As with other types of regression models, it is imperative that model adequacy checking and model fit be appropriately conducted. However, there has been no…

Alpizar, David; Li, Tongyun; Norris, John M.; Gu, Lixiong – Language Testing, 2023
The C-test is a type of gap-filling test designed to efficiently measure second language proficiency. The typical C-test consists of several short paragraphs with the second half of every second word deleted. The words with deleted parts are considered as items nested within the corresponding paragraph. Given this testlet structure, it is commonly…

Dhyaaldian, Safa Mohammed Abdulridah; Kadhim, Qasim Khlaif; Mutlak, Dhameer A.; Neamah, Nour Raheem; Kareem, Zaidoon Hussein; Hamad, Doaa A.; Tuama, Jassim Hassan; Qasim, Mohammed Saad – International Journal of Language Testing, 2022
A C-Test is a gap-filling test for measuring language competence in the first and second language. C-Tests are usually analyzed with polytomous Rasch models by considering each passage as a super-item or testlet. This strategy helps overcome the local dependence inherent in C-Test gaps. However, there is little research on the best polytomous…

Almuhaimeed, Sultan Abdullah – Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 2022
Education is the process of acquiring knowledge, skills, values, peers, beliefs, practices and personal development. Mentoring methods include teaching, coaching, storytelling, discussion, and guided research. Education is often led by teachers; however, students can also engage in self-education. As education is a continuous process, it requires…
