Matt I. Brown; Patrick R. Heck; Christopher F. Chabris – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
The Social Shapes Test (SST) is a measure of social intelligence which does not use human faces or rely on extensive verbal ability. The SST has shown promising validity among adults without autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but it is uncertain whether it is suitable for adults with ASD. We find measurement invariance between adults with (n = 229)…

Gu, Lixiong; Ling, Guangming; Qu, Yanxuan – ETS Research Report Series, 2019
Research has found that the "a"-stratified item selection strategy (STR) for computerized adaptive tests (CATs) may lead to insufficient use of high a items at later stages of the tests and thus to reduced measurement precision. A refined approach, unequal item selection across strata (USTR), effectively improves test precision over the…

Galeoto, Giovanni; D'Elpidio, Giuliana; Alvaro, Rosaria; Zicari, Anna Maria; Valente, Donatella; Riccio, Marianna – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2021
The Italian Disciplinary section of Test of Competences (TECO-D) project is an important longitudinal study used to analyze learning outcomes of ungraded students and to measure quality of the educational process. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the TECO-D in students enrolled in the Bachelor's Degree in…

Alhadi, Moosa A. A.; Zhang, Dake; Wang, Ting; Maher, Carolyn A. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
This research synthesizes studies that used a Digitalized Interactive Component (DIC) to assess K-12 student mathematics performance during Computer-based-Assessments (CBAs) in mathematics. A systematic search identified ten studies that categorized existing DICs according to the tools that provided language assistance to students and tools that…

Lehane, Paula; Scully, Darina; O'Leary, Michael – Irish Educational Studies, 2022
In line with the widespread proliferation of digital technology in everyday life, many countries are now beginning to use computer-based exams (CBEs) in their post-primary education systems. To ensure that these CBEs are delivered in a manner that preserves their fairness, validity, utility and credibility, several factors pertaining to their…

Carlson, Sarah E.; Seipel, Ben; Biancarosa, Gina; Davison, Mark L.; Clinton, Virginia – Grantee Submission, 2019
This demonstration introduces and presents an innovative online cognitive diagnostic assessment, developed to identify the types of cognitive processes that readers use during comprehension; specifically, processes that distinguish between subtypes of struggling comprehenders. Cognitive diagnostic assessments are designed to provide valuable…

National Council on Measurement in Education, 2012
Testing and data integrity on statewide assessments is defined as the establishment of a comprehensive set of policies and procedures for: (1) the proper preparation of students; (2) the management and administration of the test(s) that will lead to accurate and appropriate reporting of assessment results; and (3) maintaining the security of…

Kalohn, John C.; Spray, Judith A. – 2000
A client of American College Testing, Inc. (ACT) decided to implement a computer-based testing program to replace their paper-pencil format for professional certification. This paper reports on the results of the developed test after 1 year's use, especially as the results relate to test security issues. ACT research shows that a variable length…

Dodd, Barbara G.; And Others – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1995
Polytomous item response theory models and the research that has been conducted to investigate a variety of possible operational procedures for polytomous model-based computerized adaptive testing (CAT) are reviewed, along with studies comparing polytomous CAT systems with competing item response theory models. (SLD)

Thorndike, Robert L. – 1983
In educational testing, one is concerned to get as much information as possible about a given examinee from each minute of testing time. Maximum information is obtained when the difficulty of each test exercise matches the estimated ability level of the examinee. The goal of adaptive testing is to accomplish this. Adaptive patterns are reviewed…

Eignor, Daniel R. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1997
The authors of the "Guidelines," a task force of eight, intend to present an organized list of features to be considered in reporting or evaluating computerized-adaptive assessments. Apart from a few weaknesses, the book is a useful and complete document that will be very helpful to test developers. (SLD)

Eggen, T. J. H. M.; Straetmans, G. J. J. M. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2000
Studied the use of adaptive testing when examinees are classified into three categories. Established testing algorithms with two different statistical computation procedures and evaluated them through simulation using an operative item bank from Dutch basic adult education. Results suggest a reduction of at least 22% in the mean number of items…

Nitko, Anthony J.; Hsu, Tse-chi – 1984
Item analysis procedures appropriate for domain-referenced classroom testing are described. A conceptual framework within which item statistics can be considered and promising statistics in light of this framework are presented. The sampling fluctuations of the more promising item statistics for sample sizes comparable to the typical classroom…
