Katrin Klingbeil; Fabian Rösken; Bärbel Barzel; Florian Schacht; Kaye Stacey; Vicki Steinle; Daniel Thurm – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2024
Assessing students' (mis)conceptions is a challenging task for teachers as well as for researchers. While individual assessment, for example through interviews, can provide deep insights into students' thinking, this is very time-consuming and therefore not feasible for whole classes or even larger settings. For those settings, automatically…

Ketterlin-Geller, Leanne R.; Shivraj, Pooja; Basaraba, Deni; Schielack, Jane – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2019
Within a multi-tier system of support (MTSS), results from universal screeners help teachers make instructional decisions early in the learning process to prevent and remediate skill gaps. Universal screeners help teachers determine students' need for and intensity of additional instructional support to reach their learning goals by efficiently…

Ralston, Nicole C.; Li, Min; Taylor, Catherine – Educational Assessment, 2018
Elementary school students often exhibit a variety of conceptions associated with algebraic thinking that their teachers fail to recognize or understand. It is crucial that elementary school teachers possess knowledge of the variety of student conceptions and also have abilities to address varying states of conceptions. Otherwise, students who are…

Stanhope, Liz; Ziegler, Laura; Haque, Tabassum; Le, Laura; Vinces, Marcelo; Davis, Gregory K.; Zieffler, Andrew; Brodfuehrer, Peter; Preest, Marion; Belitsky, Jason M.; Umbanhowar, Charles, Jr.; Overvoorde, Paul J. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2017
Multiple reports highlight the increasingly quantitative nature of biological research and the need to innovate means to ensure that students acquire quantitative skills. We present a tool to support such innovation. The Biological Science Quantitative Reasoning Exam (BioSQuaRE) is an assessment instrument designed to measure the quantitative…

Crabtree, Ashleigh R. – ProQuest LLC, 2016
The purpose of this research is to provide information about the psychometric properties of technology-enhanced (TE) items and the effects these items have on the content validity of an assessment. Specifically, this research investigated the impact that the inclusion of TE items has on the construct of a mathematics test, the technical properties…

Ramos, Mark Louie F. – Online Submission, 2008
The purpose of this study was to construct and evaluate an instrument for determining student preparedness in College Algebra. A 73-item instrument covering prerequisite arithmetic and high school Algebra knowledge for College Algebra was constructed. The instrument was pilot-tested on a freshman population of 595 students. Results of reliability…

Nasser, Ramzi; Carifio, James – 1993
The validation of key contextual features of algebra word problems was studied in two phases. In the first phase, five experts were asked to assess the appropriateness of the concepts in the problems and the adequacy of the assignment of the contextual features to the problems. In the second phase, construct validity was established by having 6…

Niemi, David; Vallone, Julia; Wang, Jia; Griffin, Noelle – National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST), 2007
Many districts and schools across the U. S. have begun to develop and administer assessments to complement state testing systems and provide additional information to monitor curriculum, instruction and schools. In advance of this trend, the Jackson Public Schools (JPS) district has had a district benchmark testing system in place for many years.…

Sabers, Darrell Lee – 1967
There were three objectives of a revision and validation of the Iowa Algebra Aptitude Test (IAAT): (1) to reduce the importance of speed; (2) to improve the quality of the existing items; and (3) to replace a subtest with one of potentially greater predictive validity. The last of these goals involved the development of a new subtest composed of a…

Ibe, Milagros D. – Journal of Science and Mathematics Education in Southeast Asia, 1983
This study investigated the effects of specific criteria for marking a test on its reliability and validity. Eight algebra word problems were administered to grade 10 students. The objectivity of scoring criteria improved the reliability of the test, but did not affect its validity. (MNS)

Petrosko, Joseph M.; Hufano, Linda – 1975
An assessment was made of the psychometric and educational quality of all high school level tests of general mathematics, applied mathematics, algebra and geometry. The study was part of a large-scale project involving evaluations of all standardized secondary school tests available in the United States. Assessments revealed most tests to be low…
