Gorbett, Luke J.; Chapamn, Kayla E.; Liberatore, Matthew W. – Advances in Engineering Education, 2022
Spreadsheets are a core computational tool for practicing engineers and engineering students. While Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, and other spreadsheet tools have some differences, numerous formulas, functions, and other tasks are common across versions and platforms. Building upon learning science frameworks showing that interactive activities…

Durán, Richard P.; Zhang, Ting; Sañosa, David; Stancavage, Fran – American Institutes for Research, 2020
The National Assessment of Educational Progress's (NAEP's) transition to an entirely digitally based assessment (DBA) began in 2017. As part of this transition, new types of NAEP items have begun to be developed that leverage the DBA environment to measure a wider range of knowledge and skills. These new item types include the science…

DeBoer, George E.; Quellmalz, Edys S.; Davenport, Jodi L.; Timms, Michael J.; Herrmann-Abell, Cari F.; Buckley, Barbara C.; Jordan, Kevin A.; Huang, Chun-Wei; Flanagan, Jean C. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2014
Online testing holds much promise for assessing students' complex science knowledge and inquiry skills. In the current study, we examined the comparative effectiveness of assessment tasks and test items presented in online modules that used either a static, active, or interactive modality. A total of 1,836 students from the classrooms of 22 middle…

Koong, Chorng-Shiuh; Wu, Chi-Ying – Computers & Education, 2010
Multiple intelligences, with its hypothesis and implementation, have ascended to a prominent status among the many instructional methodologies. Meanwhile, pedagogical theories and concepts are in need of more alternative and interactive assessments to prove their prevalence (Kinugasa, Yamashita, Hayashi, Tominaga, & Yamasaki, 2005). In general,…

Sheehan, Kathleen; Mislevy, Robert J. – 1994
The operating characteristics of 114 mathematics pretest items from the Praxis I: Computer Based Test were analyzed in terms of item attributes and test developers' judgments of item difficulty. Item operating characteristics were defined as the difficulty, discrimination, and asymptote parameters of a three parameter logistic item response theory…

Parshall, Cynthia G.; Stewart, Rob; Ritter, Judy – 1996
While computer-based tests might be as simple as computerized versions of paper-and-pencil examinations, more innovative applications also exist. Examples of innovations in computer-based assessment include the use of graphics or sound, some measure of interactivity, a change in the means in which examinees responded to items, and the application…
