Ghio, Fernanda Belén; Bruzzone, Manuel; Rojas-Torres, Luis; Cupani, Marcos – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
In the last decades, the development of computerized adaptive testing (CAT) has allowed more precise measurements with a smaller number of items. In this study, we develop an item bank (IB) to generate the adaptive algorithm and simulate the functioning of CAT to assess the domains of mathematical knowledge in Argentinian university students…

Lutz, Stephanie; Ebenbeck, Nikola; Gebhardt, Markus – International Journal for Research in Vocational Education and Training, 2023
Context: Students with special educational needs in the area of learning (SEN-L) attend vocational trainings to be provided with qualifications for the labor market. Competences in arithmetic operations and comparing quantities such as weights and lengths are indispensable for obtaining a vocational qualification. Therefore, the study investigates…

Giada Spaccapanico Proietti; Mariagiulia Matteucci; Stefania Mignani; Bernard P. Veldkamp – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2024
Classical automated test assembly (ATA) methods assume fixed and known coefficients for the constraints and the objective function. This hypothesis is not true for the estimates of item response theory parameters, which are crucial elements in test assembly classical models. To account for uncertainty in ATA, we propose a chance-constrained…

Clements, Douglas H.; Banse, Holland; Sarama, Julie; Tatsuoka, Curtis; Joswick, Candace; Hudyma, Aaron; Van Dine, Douglas W.; Tatsuoka, Kikumi K. – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2022
Researchers often develop instruments using correctness scores (and a variety of theories and techniques, such as Item Response Theory) for validation and scoring. Less frequently, observations of children's strategies are incorporated into the design, development, and application of assessments. We conducted individual interviews of 833…

He, Wei – NWEA, 2022
To ensure that student academic growth in a subject area is accurately captured, it is imperative that the underlying scale remains stable over time. As item parameter stability constitutes one of the factors that affects scale stability, NWEA® periodically conducts studies to check for the stability of the item parameter estimates for MAP®…

Nazaretsky, Tanya; Hershkovitz, Sara; Alexandron, Giora – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2019
Sequencing items in adaptive learning systems typically relies on a large pool of interactive question items that are analyzed into a hierarchy of skills, also known as Knowledge Components (KCs). Educational data mining techniques can be used to analyze students response data in order to optimize the mapping of items to KCs, with similarity-based…

Russell, Michael; Moncaleano, Sebastian – Educational Assessment, 2019
Over the past decade, large-scale testing programs have employed technology-enhanced items (TEI) to improve the fidelity with which an item measures a targeted construct. This paper presents findings from a review of released TEIs employed by large-scale testing programs worldwide. Analyses examine the prevalence with which different types of TEIs…

Sahin, Füsun; Colvin, Kimberly F. – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2020
The item responses of examinees who rapid-guess, who do not spend enough time reading and engaging with an item, will not reflect their true ability on that item. Rapid-disengagement refers to rapidly selecting a response to multiple-choice items (i.e., rapid-guess), omitting items, or providing short-unrelated answers to open-ended items in an…

Xin Wei – Educational Researcher, 2024
This study investigates the relationship between text-to-speech (TTS) usage and item-by-item performance in the 2017 eighth-grade National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) math assessment, focusing on students with disabilities (SWDs), English language learners (ELLs), and their general education (GE) peers. Results indicate that all…

Soland, James – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2019
As computer-based tests become more common, there is a growing wealth of metadata related to examinees' response processes, which include solution strategies, concentration, and operating speed. One common type of metadata is item response time. While response times have been used extensively to improve estimates of achievement, little work…

Hamhuis, Eva; Glas, Cees; Meelissen, Martina – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2020
Over the last two decades, the educational use of digital devices, including digital assessments, has become a regular feature of teaching in primary education in the Netherlands. However, researchers have not reached a consensus about the so-called "mode effect," which refers to the possible impact of using computer-based tests (CBT)…

Steedle, Jeffrey; Pashley, Peter; Cho, YoungWoo – ACT, Inc., 2020
Three mode comparability studies were conducted on the following Saturday national ACT test dates: October 26, 2019, December 14, 2019, and February 8, 2020. The primary goal of these studies was to evaluate whether ACT scores exhibited mode effects between paper and online testing that would necessitate statistical adjustments to the online…

James, Syretta R.; Liu, Shihching Jessica; Maina, Nyambura; Wade, Julie; Wang, Helen; Wilson, Heather; Wolanin, Natalie – Montgomery County Public Schools, 2021
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to overwhelm the functioning and outcomes of educational systems throughout the nation. The public education system is under particular scrutiny given that students, families, and educators are under considerable stress to maintain academic progress. Since the beginning of the crisis, school-systems…

Robin, Frédéric; Bejar, Isaac; Liang, Longjuan; Rijmen, Frank – ETS Research Report Series, 2016
Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of domestic data from the" GRE"® revised General Test, introduced in 2011, were conducted separately for the verbal (VBL) and quantitative (QNT) reasoning measures to evaluate the unidimensionality and local independence assumptions required by item response theory (IRT). Results based on data…

Crabtree, Ashleigh R. – ProQuest LLC, 2016
The purpose of this research is to provide information about the psychometric properties of technology-enhanced (TE) items and the effects these items have on the content validity of an assessment. Specifically, this research investigated the impact that the inclusion of TE items has on the construct of a mathematics test, the technical properties…
