Silva, Valtemir A.; Bittencourt, Ig Ibert; Maldonado, Jose C. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2019
Question classification is a key point in many applications, such as Question Answering (QA, e.g., Yahoo! Answers), Information Retrieval (IR, e.g., Google search engine), and E-learning systems (e.g., Bloom's tax. classifiers). This paper aims to carry out a systematic review of the literature on automatic question classifiers and the technology…

McNeish, Daniel; Harring, Jeffrey R. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2017
To date, small sample problems with latent growth models (LGMs) have not received the amount of attention in the literature as related mixed-effect models (MEMs). Although many models can be interchangeably framed as a LGM or a MEM, LGMs uniquely provide criteria to assess global data-model fit. However, previous studies have demonstrated poor…

School grades provide an easily understandable metric to measure the performance of a school. Parents and the general public can use the school grade and its associated components to understand how well each school is serving its students. The school grades calculation was revised substantially for the 2014-15 school year to implement statutory…

National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER), 2016
This work asks one simple question: "how reliable is the method used by the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) to estimate projected rates of VET program completion?" In other words, how well do early projections align with actual completion rates some years later? Completion rates are simple to calculate with a…

Lincove, Jane Arnold; Osborne, Cynthia; Dillon, Amanda; Mills, Nicholas – Journal of Teacher Education, 2014
Despite questions about validity and reliability, the use of value-added estimation methods has moved beyond academic research into state accountability systems for teachers, schools, and teacher preparation programs (TPPs). Prior studies of value-added measurement for TPPs test the validity of researcher-designed models and find that measuring…

Yüksel, Mehmet – International Education Studies, 2012
In this study, an attempt was made to develop a method of measurement and evaluation aimed at overcoming the difficulties encountered in the determination of the effectiveness of chemistry education based on the goals of chemistry education. An Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), which is a multi-criteria decision technique, is used in the present…

Raykov, Tenko – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 2007
A method for estimating criterion validity of scales with homogeneous components is outlined. It accomplishes point and interval estimation of interrelationship indices between composite scores and criterion variables and is useful for testing hypotheses about criterion validity of measurement instruments. The method can also be used with missing…

Bruckner, Cornelia Taylor; Yoder, Paul – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 2006
Kappa (Cohen, 1960) is a popular agreement statistic used to estimate the accuracy of observers. The response of kappa to differing baserates was examined and methods for estimating the accuracy of observers presented. Results suggest that setting a single value of kappa as "minimally acceptable" (i.e., a criterion value) is not useful in ensuring…
