Using Response Times to Assess Learning Progress: A Joint Model for Responses and Response Times
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Wang, Shiyu; Zhang, Susu; Douglas, Jeff; Culpepper, Steven – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2018
Analyzing students' growth remains an important topic in educational research. Most recently, Diagnostic Classification Models (DCMs) have been used to track skill acquisition in a longitudinal fashion, with the purpose to provide an estimate of students' learning trajectories in terms of the change of fine-grained skills overtime. Response time…

Investigating Influence of Assessment for Learning Practice on Student Learning Approaches in Chinese Higher Education
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Gan, Zhengdong; Hoi, Cathy; Schumacker, Randall – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2019
While assessment for learning (AfL) has been strongly promulgated by an increasing number of education systems internationally, little research is available that investigates students' responses to such AfL innovations, particularly in a Chinese learning context. There is a need to research and evaluate the AfL practices introduced and their…

Validity Inferences under High-Stakes Conditions: A Response from Language Testing
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hill, Kathryn; McNamara, Tim – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2015
Those who work in second- and foreign-language testing often find Koretz's concern for validity inferences under high-stakes (VIHS) conditions both welcome and familiar. While the focus of the article is more narrowly on the potential for two instructional responses to test-based accountability, "reallocation" and "coaching,"…

An Ecological Perspective on Learning Progressions as Road Maps for Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Engelhard, George, Jr.; Sullivan, Rubye K. – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2011
The Black, Wilson, and Yao (this issue) provide a wide-ranging commentary and vision of the interrelationships among curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment. Specifically, they describe how the Berkeley Evaluation & Assessment Research (BEAR) Center Assessment System can be used to integrate and systematize these areas. This commentary focuses on…

Learning Progressions that Support Formative Assessment Practices
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Alonzo, Alicia C. – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2011
Black, Wilson, and Yao (this issue) lay out a comprehensive vision for the way that learning progressions (or other "road maps") might be used to inform and coordinate formative and summative purposes of assessment. As Black, Wilson, and others have been arguing for over a decade, the effective use of formative assessment has great potential to…

Road Maps for Learning: A Bird's Eye View
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Dunne, Timothy T. – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2011
The notion of the road map, advocated by Black, Wilson, and Yao (2011), and the associated minutiae of the construct map have several powerful features. At one level these notions assist the teacher to select and embody a suitable sequence of constructs within a specified curriculum. Whatever disparate sequenced pathways individual learners may…
