What Works Clearinghouse Rating
Backes, Ben; Cowan, James – Grantee Submission, 2019
Nearly two dozen states now administer online exams to deliver testing to K-12 students. These tests have real consequences: their results feed into accountability systems, which have been used for more than a decade to hold schools and districts accountable for their students' learning. We examine the rollout of computer-based testing in…

Weiling Li; Aaron Butler; Catherine Oberle; Anabil Munshi; Amy J. Dray – Online Submission, 2023
Edmentum offers a personalized learning platform called Exact Path. This quasi-experimental study, designed to meet ESSA Tier 2 evidence and What Works Clearinghouse standards with reservations, aimed to assess the efficacy of Exact Path in a district from the Midwestern United States. The goal was to provide specific recommendations to educators…

Mehmet Mevlüt Odaci; Erman Uzun – Journal of Educational Technology and Online Learning, 2024
This study aimed to reveal the attitudes of the students who were subjected to measurement and evaluation in an online testing environment towards the computer based testing (CBT) platform and the factors that affect their attitudes. It also examined the students' cognitive loads in the exam designed with multimedia elements from message design…

Kayla V. Campaña; Benjamin G. Solomon – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2025
The purpose of this study was to compare the classification accuracy of data produced by the previous year's end-of-year New York state assessment, a computer-adaptive diagnostic assessment ("i-Ready"), and the gating combination of both assessments to predict the rate of students passing the following year's end-of-year state assessment…

Wise, Steven L.; Soland,, James; Bo, Yuanchao – International Journal of Testing, 2020
Disengaged test taking tends to be most prevalent with low-stakes tests. This has led to questions about the validity of aggregated scores from large-scale international assessments such as PISA and TIMSS, as previous research has found a meaningful correlation between the mean engagement and mean performance of countries. The current study, using…

Kuang, Huan; Sahin, Fusun – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2023
Background: Examinees may not make enough effort when responding to test items if the assessment has no consequence for them. These disengaged responses can be problematic in low-stakes, large-scale assessments because they can bias item parameter estimates. However, the amount of bias, and whether this bias is similar across administrations, is…

Marinho, Nathalie L.; Witmer, Sara E.; Jess, Nicole; Roschmann, Sarina – Language Assessment Quarterly, 2023
The use of accommodations is often recommended to remove barriers to academic testing among English Learners (ELs). However, it is unclear whether accommodations are particularly effective at improving ELs' test scores. A growing foundation of empirical work has explored this topic. We conducted a meta-analysis that examined several possible…

Wise, Steven L.; Kuhfeld, Megan R.; Soland, James – Applied Measurement in Education, 2019
When we administer educational achievement tests, we want to be confident that the resulting scores validly indicate what the test takers know and can do. However, if the test is perceived as low stakes by the test taker, disengaged test taking sometimes occurs, which poses a serious threat to score validity. When computer-based tests are used,…

Anakaren Lopez – ProQuest LLC, 2023
This research study investigates the impact of the rapid transition from paper-based to online administration of the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) exams on student performance in a South Texas school district. The transition, mandated by House Bill 3261, presented Texas public schools with a tight timeline for adapting…

Scrimgeour, Meghan B.; Huang, Haigen H. – Mid-Western Educational Researcher, 2022
Given the growing trend toward using technology to assess student learning, this investigation examined test mode comparability of student achievement scores obtained from paper-pencil and computerized assessments of statewide End-of-Course and End-of-Grade examinations in the subject areas of high school biology and eighth-grade English Language…

Kuhfeld, Megan; Soland, James – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2020
Educational stakeholders have long known that students might not be fully engaged when taking an achievement test and that such disengagement could undermine the inferences drawn from observed scores. Thanks to the growing prevalence of computer-based tests and the new forms of metadata they produce, researchers have developed and validated…

Wang, Shichao; Li, Dongmei; Steedle, Jeffrey – ACT, Inc., 2021
Speeded tests set time limits so that few examinees can reach all items, and power tests allow most test-takers sufficient time to attempt all items. Educational achievement tests are sometimes described as "timed power tests" because the amount of time provided is intended to allow nearly all students to complete the test, yet this…

VanMeveren, Kalie; Hulac, David; Wollersheim-Shervey, Sarah – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2020
Reading screening assessments help educators identify students who are at risk of reading and determine the need for intervention and supports. However, some schools screen and assess students more often than needed, and the additional information does not improve the accuracy of decisions. This may be especially true for students at the upper…

Warner-Griffin, Catharine; Liu, Huili; Tadler, Chrystine; Herget, Debbie; Dalton, Ben – National Center for Education Statistics, 2017
The Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) is an international assessment of student performance in reading literacy at the fourth grade. PIRLS measures students in the fourth year of formal schooling because this is typically when students' learning transitions from a focus on "learning to read" to a focus on…

Gareis, Christopher R.; McMillan, James H.; Smucker, Amelie; Huang, Ke – Online Submission, 2021
The purpose of this study was to gauge the degree to which selected NWEA MAP Growth assessments are aligned to the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) and the extent to which MAP Growth reports can be used by school divisions to gauge student achievement relative to grade level and to identify learning gaps. The study was delimited to four MAP…
