Roduta Roberts, Mary; Gotch, Chad M.; Cook, Megan; Werther, Karin; Chao, Iris C. I. – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2022
Performance-based assessment is a common approach to assess the development and acquisition of practice competencies among health professions students. Judgments related to the quality of performance are typically operationalized as ratings against success criteria specified within a rubric. The extent to which the rubric is understood,…

Ayman Shakeel – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2023
Advocates for the use of a multi-measure system of performance evaluation argue that multiple measures may better capture meaningful differences in employee effectiveness and help align effort with organizational objectives. This may be particularly important in organizations such as schools that produce multiple outcomes. In this paper I use a…

Abdel Azim Zumrawi; Leah P. Macfadyen – Cogent Education, 2023
Student Evaluations of Teaching (SETs) gather crucial feedback on student experiences of teaching and learning and have been used for decades to evaluate the quality of teaching and student experience of instruction. In this paper, we make the case for an important improvement to the analysis of SET data that can further refine its interpretation.…

Chen, Michelle Y.; Liu, Yan; Zumbo, Bruno D. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2020
This study introduces a novel differential item functioning (DIF) method based on propensity score matching that tackles two challenges in analyzing performance assessment data, that is, continuous task scores and lack of a reliable internal variable as a proxy for ability or aptitude. The proposed DIF method consists of two main stages. First,…

Wind, Stefanie A.; Walker, A. Adrienne – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2021
Many large-scale performance assessments include score resolution procedures for resolving discrepancies in rater judgments. The goal of score resolution is conceptually similar to person fit analyses: To identify students for whom observed scores may not accurately reflect their achievement. Previously, researchers have observed that…

Wang, Guannan; Williamson, Aimee – Teaching in Higher Education, 2022
Course Evaluation Instruments (CEIs) are critical aspects of faculty assessment and evaluation across most higher education institutions, but heated debates surround the value and validity of such instruments. While some argue that CEI scores are valid measures of course and instructor quality, others argue that faculty members can game the…

Gingerich, Andrea; Schokking, Edward; Yeates, Peter – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2018
Recent literature places more emphasis on assessment comments rather than relying solely on scores. Both are variable, however, emanating from assessment judgements. One established source of variability is "contrast effects": scores are shifted away from the depicted level of competence in a preceding encounter. The shift could arise…

Phillips, Sarah F.; Ferguson, Ronald F.; Rowley, Jacob F. S. – Educational Assessment, 2021
School systems are increasingly incorporating student perceptions of teaching effectiveness into educator accountability systems. Using Tripod's 7Cs™ Framework of Teaching Effectiveness, this study examines key issues in validating student perception data for use in this manner. Analyses examine the internal structure of 7Cs scores and the extent…

Pang, Francine; Skehan, Peter – Modern Language Journal, 2021
This study uses a complexity-accuracy-lexis-fluency (CALF) framework to explore performance on 2 speaking tasks: a narrative picture-based task and an interactive decision-making task. A preliminary aim is to compare performance on the 2 tasks, using a wide range of CALF measures to explore where scores are similar and where they are different.…

Chen, Zhongzhou; Xu, Mengyu; Garrido, Geoffrey; Gunthrie, Matthew W. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
This study examines whether including more contextual information in data analysis could improve our ability to identify the relation between students' online learning behavior and overall performance in an introductory physics course. We created four linear regression models correlating students' pass-fail events in a sequence of online learning…

Sartain, Lauren; Zou, Andrew – University of Chicago Consortium on School Research, 2020
Responding to an Illinois law that took effect in 2010, the Performance Evaluation Reform Act (PERA), Chicago Public Schools (CPS) created and implemented the REACH (Recognizing Educators Advancing Chicago's Students) educator evaluation and support system. REACH was piloted in 2012-13. It is still being implemented as of the 2019-20 school year,…

Fitzpatrick, Tess; Clenton, Jon – TESOL Quarterly: A Journal for Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages and of Standard English as a Second Dialect, 2017
This article offers a solution to a significant problem for teachers and researchers of language learning that confounds their interpretations and expectations of test data: The apparent simplicity of tests of vocabulary knowledge masks the complexity of the constructs they claim to measure. The authors first scrutinise task elements in two widely…

Sprague, Mary; Wilson, Kate F.; McKenzie, Karyn S. – Higher Education Research and Development, 2019
Educators in higher education commonly use peer and self evaluations to help assess student performance on group projects. Although these evaluations provide multiple benefits, many educators are wary of using them due to concerns about their quality. This study addresses three questions debated in the literature regarding the quality of these…

List, Marit K.; Robitzsch, Alexander; Lüdtke, Oliver; Köller, Olaf; Nagy, Gabriel – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2017
Background: In low-stakes educational assessments, test takers might show a performance decline (PD) on end-of-test items. PD is a concern in educational assessments, especially when groups of students are to be compared on the proficiency variable because item responses gathered in the groups could be differently affected by PD. In order to…

Brendan Bourdage; Kelly Erickson; Yi Hua – William & Mary Educational Review, 2016
Effective teacher evaluations serve the dual function of being both summative and formative (Danielson & McGreal, 2000). The current evaluation tool in Virginia uses a traditional approach of incorporating standardized test scores as forty percent of a measure of teacher effectiveness. By way of a literature review, this article applies a…
