Lina Anaya; Nagore Iriberri; Pedro Rey-Biel; Gema Zamarro – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2021
Standardized assessments are widely used to determine access to educational resources with important consequences for later economic outcomes in life. However, many design features of the tests themselves may lead to psychological reactions influencing performance. In particular, the level of difficulty of the earlier questions in a test may…

Goldhammer, Frank; Kroehne, Ulf; Hahnel, Carolin; De Boeck, Paul – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Efficiency in reading component skills is crucial for reading comprehension, as efficient subprocesses do not extensively consume limited cognitive resources, making them available for comprehension processes. Cognitive efficiency is typically measured with speeded tests of relatively easy items. Observed responses and response times indicate the…

Tam, Kai Chung – ProQuest LLC, 2018
Since the 1960s, the advocacy of "teaching mathematics so as to be useful" is not without hindrance in school curricula, partly due to the lack of appropriate assessment tools. Practical approaches have been accumulating quickly, but researchers showed that they are not satisfactory in testing students' ability to apply mathematical…

Yurdakul, Bünyamin; Basokçu, T. Oguz; Yazicilar, Ümran – Journal of Teacher Education and Educators, 2020
The fact that Turkey's achievement in large-scale international examinations is not at the expected level is associated with such factors as students, teachers, schools, curricula and assessment approaches. The literature links student-related causes mainly to their lack of higher-order thinking skills; and teacher-related causes to incompetency…
