Feinberg, Richard A.; Morrison, Carol; Raymond, Mark R. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2022
Formal graduate education in a measurement related field provides a solid foundation for professionals who work on credentialing examinations. Those foundational skills are then expanded and refined over time as practitioners encounter complex and nuanced challenges that were not covered by or go beyond the context described in textbooks. For…

Steedle, Jeffrey T.; Cho, Young Woo; Wang, Shichao; Arthur, Ann M.; Li, Dongmei – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2022
As testing programs transition from paper to online testing, they must study mode comparability to support the exchangeability of scores from different testing modes. To that end, a series of three mode comparability studies was conducted during the 2019-2020 academic year with examinees randomly assigned to take the ACT college admissions exam on…

Russell, Mike; Ludlow, Larry; O'Dwyer, Laura – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2019
The field of educational measurement has evolved considerably since the first doctoral programs were established.

Bakker, Steven – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2012
A particular trait of the educational system under socialist reign was accountability at the input side--appropriate facilities, centrally decided curriculum, approved text-books, and uniformly trained teachers--but no control on the output.
