Grouping individuals according to a set of measured characteristics, or profiling, is frequently used in describing, understanding, and acting on a phenomenon. The advent of computer-based assessment offers new possibilities for profiling writing because aspects can be captured that were not heretofore observable. We explored whether writing…

Abedi, Jamal; Zhang, Yu; Rowe, Susan E.; Lee, Hansol – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2020
Research indicates that the performance-gap between English Language Learners (ELLs) and their non-ELL peers is partly due to ELLs' difficulty in understanding assessment language. Accommodations have been shown to narrow this performance-gap, but many accommodations studies have not used a randomized design and are based on relatively small…

Evaluating the Comparability of Paper- and Computer-Based Science Tests across Sex and SES Subgroups
Randall, Jennifer; Sireci, Stephen; Li, Xueming; Kaira, Leah – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2012
As access and reliance on technology continue to increase, so does the use of computerized testing for admissions, licensure/certification, and accountability exams.
