Kosh, Audra E. – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2021
In recent years, Automatic Item Generation (AIG) has increasingly shifted from theoretical research to operational implementation, a shift raising some unforeseen practical challenges. Specifically, generating high-quality answer choices presents several challenges such as ensuring that answer choices blend in nicely together for all possible item…

DiCerbo, Kristen E. – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2017
While game-based assessment offers new potential for understanding the processes students use to solve problems, it also presents new challenges in uncovering which player actions provide evidence that contributes to understanding about students' knowledge, skill, and attributes that we are interested in assessing. A development process that…

Dickison, Philip; Luo, Xiao; Kim, Doyoung; Woo, Ada; Muntean, William; Bergstrom, Betty – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2016
Designing a theory-based assessment with sound psychometric qualities to measure a higher-order cognitive construct is a highly desired yet challenging task for many practitioners. This paper proposes a framework for designing a theory-based assessment to measure a higher-order cognitive construct. This framework results in a modularized yet…

Gierl, Mark J.; Lai, Hollis; Hogan, James B.; Matovinovic, Donna – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2015
The demand for test items far outstrips the current supply. This increased demand can be attributed, in part, to the transition to computerized testing, but, it is also linked to dramatic changes in how 21st century educational assessments are designed and administered. One way to address this growing demand is with automatic item generation.…

Katz, Irvin R.; Tannenbaum, Richard J. – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2014
Web-based standard setting holds promise for reducing the travel and logistical inconveniences of traditional, face-to-face standard setting meetings. However, because there are few published reports of setting standards via remote meeting technology, little is known about the practical potential of the approach, including technical feasibility of…

Wandall, Jakob – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2011
Testing and test results can be used in different ways. They can be used for regulation and control, but they can also be a pedagogic tool for assessment of student proficiency in order to target teaching, improve learning and facilitate local pedagogical leadership. To serve these purposes the test has to be used for low stakes purposes, and to…

Jacobsen, Jared; Ackermann, Richard; Eguez, Jane; Ganguli, Debalina; Rickard, Patricia; Taylor, Linda – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2011
A computer adaptive test (CAT) is a delivery methodology that serves the larger goals of the assessment system in which it is embedded. A thorough analysis of the assessment system for which a CAT is being designed is critical to ensure that the delivery platform is appropriate and addresses all relevant complexities. As such, a CAT engine must be…

Makransky, Guido; Glas, Cees A. W. – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2010
An accurately calibrated item bank is essential for a valid computerized adaptive test. However, in some settings, such as occupational testing, there is limited access to test takers for calibration. As a result of the limited access to possible test takers, collecting data to accurately calibrate an item bank in an occupational setting is…

Parshall, Cynthia G.; Harmes, J. Christine – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2009
Many exam programs have begun to include innovative item types in their operational assessments. While innovative item types appear to have great promise for expanding measurement, there can also be genuine challenges to their successful implementation. In this paper we present a set of four activities that can be beneficially incorporated into…

Luecht, Richard M. – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2005
Computer-based testing (CBT) is typically implemented using one of three general test delivery models: (1) multiple fixed testing (MFT); (2) computer-adaptive testing (CAT); or (3) multistage testing (MSTs). This article reviews some of the real cost drivers associated with CBT implementation--focusing on item production costs, the costs…
