Kirsten Brunner; Andreas Obersteiner; Timo Leuders – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2024
Teachers' ability to accurately judge difficulties of mathematical tasks is an essential aspect of their diagnostic competencies. Although research has suggested that pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) is positively correlated with the accuracy of diagnostic judgments, experimental studies have not been conducted to investigate how PCK affects…

D'Agostino, Jerome V.; Welsh, Megan E.; Cimetta, Adriana D.; Falco, Lia D.; Smith, Shannon; VanWinkle, Waverely Hester; Powers, Sonya J. – Applied Measurement in Education, 2008
Central to the standards-based assessment validation process is an examination of the alignment between state standards and test items. Several alignment analysis systems have emerged recently, but most rely on either traditional rating or matching techniques. Little, if any, analyses have been reported on the degree of consistency between the two…

Kirshner, David; Awtry, Thomas – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2004
Information processing researchers have assumed that algebra symbol skills depend on mastery of the abstract rules presented in the curriculum (Matz, 1980; Sleeman, 1986). Thus, students' ubiquitous algebra errors have been taken as indicating the need to embed algebra in rich contextual settings (Kaput, 1995; National Council of Teachers of…
