Arce-Ferrer, Alvaro J.; Bulut, Okan – Journal of Experimental Education, 2019
This study investigated the performance of four widely used data-collection designs in detecting test-mode effects (i.e., computer-based versus paper-based testing). The experimental conditions included four data-collection designs, two test-administration modes, and the availability of an anchor assessment. The test-level and item-level results…

Fraillon, Julian, Ed.; Ainley, John, Ed.; Schulz, Wolfram, Ed.; Friedman, Tim, Ed.; Duckworth, Daniel, Ed. – International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement, 2020
IEA's International Computer and Information Literacy Study (ICILS) 2018 investigated how well students are prepared for study, work, and life in a digital world. ICILS 2018 measured international differences in students' computer and information literacy (CIL): their ability to use computers to investigate, create, participate, and communicate at…

Mullis, Ina V. S., Ed.; Martin, Michael O., Ed.; von Davier, Matthias, Ed. – International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement, 2021
TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) is a long-standing international assessment of mathematics and science at the fourth and eighth grades that has been collecting trend data every four years since 1995. About 70 countries use TIMSS trend data for monitoring the effectiveness of their education systems in a global…

Ingrid Nix; Marion Hall – Sage Research Methods Cases, 2016
This case study describes a method of collecting data on students' experiences of developing digital literacy (information and communications technology) skills as part of their course at the United Kingdom's Open University. An online reflective quiz was integrated into three health and social care modules, offering students the opportunity both…

Luecht, Richard M. – 2001
The Microsoft Certification Program (MCP) includes many new computer-based item types, based on complex cases involving the Windows 2000 (registered) operating system. This Innovative Item Technology (IIT) has presented challenges beyond traditional psychometric considerations such as capturing and storing the relevant response data from…

Anderson, Richard Ivan – 1980
Features of a probabilistic testing system that has been implemented on the "cerl" PLATO computer system are described. The key feature of the system is the manner in which an examinee responds to each test item; the examinee distributes probabilities among the alternatives of each item by positioning a small square on or within an…

Jones, Douglas H.; Jin, Zhiying – Psychometrika, 1994
Replenishing item pools for on-line ability testing requires innovative and efficient data collection. A method is proposed to collect test item calibration data in an on-line testing environment sequentially using locally D-optimum designs, thereby achieving high Fisher information for the item parameters.
