This study investigated the usefulness of the bifactor model in the investigation of score equivalence from computerized and paper-and-pencil formats of the same reading tests. Concerns about the equivalence of the paper-and-pencil and computerized formats were warranted because of the use of reading passages, computer unfamiliarity of primary…

Pomplun, Mark; Custer, Michael – Applied Measurement in Education, 2005
In this study, we investigated possible context effects when students chose to defer items and answer those items later during a computerized test. In 4 primary school reading tests, 126 items were studied. Logistic regression analyses identified 4 items across 4 grade levels as statistically significant. However, follow-up analyses indicated that…

Pomplun, Mark; Custer, Michael – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2005
This study investigated the equivalence of scores from computerized and paper-and-pencil formats of a series of K-3 reading screening tests. Concerns about score equivalence on the computerized formats were warranted because of the use of reading passages, computer unfamiliarity of primary school students, and teacher versus computer…

Pomplun, Mark; Ritchie, Timothy; Custer, Michael – Educational Assessment, 2006
This study investigated factors related to score differences on computerized and paper-and-pencil versions of a series of primary K-3 reading tests. Factors studied included item and student characteristics. The results suggest that the score differences were more related to student than item characteristics. These student characteristics include…

Pomplun, Mark; Ritchie, Timothy – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2004
This study investigated the statistical and practical significance of context effects for items randomized within testlets for administration during a series of computerized non-adaptive tests. One hundred and twenty-five items from four primary school reading tests were studied. Logistic regression analyses identified from one to four items for…

This paper describes the investigation of a computerized measure of reading rate as measured by the new Nelson-Denny Reading Test CD-ROM (1993). This study addressed three aspects of validity: (1) score comparability between reading rate measured by the computer version and the paper-and-pencil version; (2) concurrent validity with reading…
