Direct linkWaterbury, Glenn Thomas; DeMars, Christine E. – Educational Assessment, 2021
Vertical scaling is used to put tests of different difficulty onto a common metric. The Rasch model is often used to perform vertical scaling, despite its strict functional form. Few, if any, studies have examined anchor item choice when using the Rasch model to vertically scale data that do not fit the model. The purpose of this study was to…

Sadler, Philip M.; Sonnert, Gerhard; Coyle, Harold P.; Miller, Kelly A. – Educational Assessment, 2016
The psychometrically sound development of assessment instruments requires pilot testing of candidate items as a first step in gauging their quality, typically a time-consuming and costly effort. Crowdsourcing offers the opportunity for gathering data much more quickly and inexpensively than from most targeted populations. In a simulation of a…

Wind, Stefanie A.; Engelhard, George, Jr.; Wesolowski, Brian – Educational Assessment, 2016
When good model-data fit is observed, the Many-Facet Rasch (MFR) model acts as a linking and equating model that can be used to estimate student achievement, item difficulties, and rater severity on the same linear continuum. Given sufficient connectivity among the facets, the MFR model provides estimates of student achievement that are equated to…

Huggins, Anne Corinne; Elbaum, Batya – Educational Assessment, 2013
The purpose of this study is to utilize Score Equity Assessment (SEA) to examine measurement comparability and equity in reported scores on a statewide fifth-grade science assessment with respect to groups of students defined by disability status, English Language Learner status and use of test accommodations. Benefits of SEA include a focus on…

Whittaker, Tiffany A.; Williams, Natasha J.; Dodd, Barbara G. – Educational Assessment, 2011
This study assessed the interpretability of scaled scores based on either number correct (NC) scoring for a paper-and-pencil test or one of two methods of scoring computer-based tests: an item pattern (IP) scoring method and a method based on equated NC scoring. The equated NC scoring method for computer-based tests was proposed as an alternative…

Peer reviewedLoyd, Brenda; Englehard, George, Jr.; Crocker, Linda – Educational Assessment, 1996
Some of the measurement issues encountered in the equating of performance assessments designed for use in teacher certification decisions are described. Analytic strategies based on examinee data that involve modification of existing procedures and judgmental strategies involving the judgments of experts to determine score equivalence are also…
