Fu, Jianbin – ETS Research Report Series, 2019
A maximum marginal likelihood estimation with an expectation-maximization algorithm has been developed for estimating multigroup or mixture multidimensional item response theory models using the generalized partial credit function, graded response function, and 3-parameter logistic function. The procedure includes the estimation of item…

Berger, Stéphanie; Verschoor, Angela J.; Eggen, Theo J. H. M.; Moser, Urs – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2019
Calibration of an item bank for computer adaptive testing requires substantial resources. In this study, we investigated whether the efficiency of calibration under the Rasch model could be enhanced by improving the match between item difficulty and student ability. We introduced targeted multistage calibration designs, a design type that…

Fujimoto, Ken A. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2019
Advancements in item response theory (IRT) have led to models for dual dependence, which control for cluster and method effects during a psychometric analysis. Currently, however, this class of models does not include one that controls for when the method effects stem from two method sources in which one source functions differently across the…

Andrews-Todd, Jessica; Kerr, Deirdre – International Journal of Testing, 2019
Collaborative problem solving (CPS) has been deemed a critical twenty-first century competency for a variety of contexts. However, less attention has been given to work aimed at the assessment and acquisition of such capabilities. Recently large scale efforts have been devoted toward assessing CPS skills, but there are no agreed upon guiding…

Gardiner, Allison M.; Cuchna, Jennifer W.; Walker, Stacy E.; Clines, Stephanie; Welch-Bacon, Cailee E.; Van Lunen, Bonnie – Athletic Training Education Journal, 2019
Context: Though commonplace in medical education, standardized patients (SPs) have only recently been introduced into athletic training curricula. Limited research exists on students' perceptions of SPs as an evaluative and learning tool. Objective: To determine how students interact with SPs within their curricula and to explore students'…

Edelsbrunner, Peter A.; Dablander, Fabian – Educational Psychology Review, 2019
Psychometric modeling has become a frequently used statistical tool in research on scientific reasoning. We review psychometric modeling practices in this field, including model choice, model testing, and researchers' inferences based on their psychometric practices. A review of 11 empirical research studies reveals that the predominant…

Mundorf, Abigail M. D.; Lazarus, Linh T. T.; Uitvlugt, Mitchell G.; Healey, M. Karl – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
The temporal contiguity effect (TCE) is the tendency for the recall of one event to cue recall of other events originally experienced nearby in time. Retrieved context theory proposes that the TCE results from fundamental properties of episodic memory: binding of events to a drifting context representation during encoding and the reinstatement of…

Conway, Andrew R. A.; Kovacs, Kristof; Hao, Han; Rosales, Kevin P.; Snijder, Jean-Paul – Journal of Intelligence, 2021
Process overlap theory (POT) is a new theoretical framework designed to account for the general factor of intelligence ("g"). According to POT, g does not reflect a general cognitive ability. Instead, "g" is the result of multiple domain-general executive attention processes and multiple domain-specific processes that are…

Kartal, Mert – Journal of Political Science Education, 2021
What is the role of Model United Nations (MUN) in facilitating deep learning and professional skills attainment in the classroom? Using a 15-week MUN course, I gather data on student progress in four levels of knowledge: factual, conceptual, procedural, and metacognitive. I use pre- and post-activity surveys as well as the instructor's own…

Cohen, Alex; Alden, John; Ring, Jonathan – Journal of Political Science Education, 2021
Active learning--and gaming, in particular--is now a well-established part of many political science courses. First, we discuss the design and implementation of a "Gateway Game", a pedagogical tool with broad applicability and test its effectiveness in increasing student motivation, satisfaction, and learning. Crucially, we provide…

Chan, Wendy – Journal of Experimental Education, 2021
Statisticians have developed propensity score methods to improve generalizations from studies that do not employ random sampling. However, these methods rely on assumptions whose plausibility may be questionable. We introduce and discuss bounding, an approach that is based on alternative assumptions that may be more plausible. The bounding…

Tommasi, Francesco; Ceschi, Andrea; Weller, Joshua; Costantini, Arianna; Passaia, Giulia; Gostimir, Marija; Sartori, Riccardo – European Journal of Training and Development, 2021
Purpose: This paper aims to empirically compare the degree to which two technological interventions, based on the computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) and the technology acceptance model (TAM), were associated with a different incidence of financial biases. Design/methodology/approach: The study adopted a quasi-experimental research…

The high Arctic is a remote place, where geoscientific research and teaching require expensive and logistically demanding expeditions to make use of the short field seasons. The absence of vegetation facilitates the use of modern photogrammetric techniques for the cost-effective generation of high-resolution digital outcrop models (DOMs). These…

Busrah, Zulfiqar; Pathuddin, Hikmawati – Journal of Research and Advances in Mathematics Education, 2021
Ethnomathematics can empirically improve the cognitive abilities of students in elementary and secondary schools. However, in undergraduate study, there are still limited studies on integrating ethnomathematics in learning resources. This study aims to apply interpolation in modelling polynomial functions and integral volume on the shape of…
