Soland, James – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2023
Most individuals who take, interpret, design, or score tests are aware that examinees do not always provide full effort when responding to items. However, many such individuals are not aware of how pervasive the issue is, what its consequences are, and how to address it. In this digital ITEMS module, Dr. James Soland will help fill these gaps in…

W. Jake Thompson; Amy K. Clark – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2024
In recent years, educators, administrators, policymakers, and measurement experts have called for assessments that support educators in making better instructional decisions. One promising approach to measurement to support instructional decision-making is diagnostic classification models (DCMs). DCMs are flexible psychometric models that…

Reese Butterfuss; Harold Doran – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2025
Large language models are increasingly used in educational and psychological measurement activities. Their rapidly evolving sophistication and ability to detect language semantics make them viable tools to supplement subject matter experts and their reviews of large amounts of text statements, such as educational content standards. This paper…

Xiangyi Liao; Daniel M Bolt – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2024
Traditional approaches to the modeling of multiple-choice item response data (e.g., 3PL, 4PL models) emphasize slips and guesses as random events. In this paper, an item response model is presented that characterizes both disjunctively interacting guessing and conjunctively interacting slipping processes as proficiency-related phenomena. We show…

Kim, Stella Y. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2022
In this digital ITEMS module, Dr. Stella Kim provides an overview of multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) equating. Traditional unidimensional item response theory (IRT) equating methods impose the sometimes untenable restriction on data that only a single ability is assessed. This module discusses potential sources of multidimensionality…

Sweeney, Sandra M.; Sinharay, Sandip; Johnson, Matthew S.; Steinhauer, Eric W. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2022
The focus of this paper is on the empirical relationship between item difficulty and item discrimination. Two studies--an empirical investigation and a simulation study--were conducted to examine the association between item difficulty and item discrimination under classical test theory and item response theory (IRT), and the effects of the…

Lee, Chansoon – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2022
Appropriate placement into courses at postsecondary institutions is critical for the success of students in terms of retention and graduation rates. To reduce the number of students who are misplaced, using multiple measures in placing students is encouraged. However, in practice most postsecondary schools utilize only a few measures to determine…

Xiao, Yue; Veldkamp, Bernard; Liu, Hongyun – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2022
The action sequences of respondents in problem-solving tasks reflect rich and detailed information about their performance, including differences in problem-solving ability, even if item scores are equal. It is therefore not sufficient to infer individual problem-solving skills based solely on item scores. This study is a preliminary attempt to…

This article presents the consensus of an National Council on Measurement in Education Presidential Task Force on Foundational Competencies in Educational Measurement. Foundational competencies are those that support future development of additional professional and disciplinary competencies. The authors develop a framework for foundational…

Zhan, Peida – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2021
Refined tracking allows students and teachers to more accurately understand students' learning growth. To provide refined learning tracking with longitudinal diagnostic assessment, this article proposed a new model by incorporating probabilistic logic into longitudinal diagnostic modeling. Specifically, probabilistic attributes were used instead…

Ulitzsch, Esther; Domingue, Benjamin W.; Kapoor, Radhika; Kanopka, Klint; Rios, Joseph A. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2023
Common response-time-based approaches for non-effortful response behavior (NRB) in educational achievement tests filter responses that are associated with response times below some threshold. These approaches are, however, limited in that they require a binary decision on whether a response is classified as stemming from NRB; thus ignoring…

Yuan, Lu; Liu, Yanlou; Chen, Ping; Xin, Tao – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2022
Learning progressions can reflect students' continuous in-depth thinking development paths, and their establishment is an iterative process from the construction of hypothetical learning progressions to the verification of that hypotheses. Considering the limitations of the existing verification method of learning progressions based on a rule…

Xiong, Jiawei; Li, Feiming – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2023
Multidimensional scoring evaluates each constructed-response answer from more than one rating dimension and/or trait such as lexicon, organization, and supporting ideas instead of only one holistic score, to help students distinguish between various dimensions of writing quality. In this work, we present a bilevel learning model for combining two…

Ji, Xuejun Ryan; Wu, Amery D. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2023
The Cross-Classified Mixed Effects Model (CCMEM) has been demonstrated to be a flexible framework for evaluating reliability by measurement specialists. Reliability can be estimated based on the variance components of the test scores. Built upon their accomplishment, this study extends the CCMEM to be used for evaluating validity evidence.…

Um, Ki-Hyun; Fang, Yingying; Seo, Young-Jin – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2021
With the emergence of COVID-19 worldwide, interest in blended learning in higher education is rapidly increasing. Despite the fact that the unipolar view that satisfaction and dissatisfaction are measured separately has been emphasized in higher education, fewer efforts have been made in a blended learning context. Therefore, this study attempts…
