University examinations categorise students according to their individual achievements determined by teaching staff. This procedure serves the elicitation and certification of student knowledge and thus reproduces academic hierarchies. Drawing on empirical evidence from ethnographic fieldwork in Engineering and History departments, this article…

Jila Niknejad; Margaret Bayer – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
In Spring 2020, the need for redesigning online assessments to preserve integrity became a priority to many educators. Many of us found methods to proctor examinations using Zoom and proctoring software. Such examinations pose their own issues. To reduce the technical difficulties and cost, many Zoom proctored examination sessions were shortened;…

Baldwin, Peter; Clauser, Brian E. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2022
While score comparability across test forms typically relies on common (or randomly equivalent) examinees or items, innovations in item formats, test delivery, and efforts to extend the range of score interpretation may require a special data collection before examinees or items can be used in this way--or may be incompatible with common examinee…

Ato Kwamina Arhin – Acta Educationis Generalis, 2024
Introduction: This article aimed at digging deep into distractors used for mathematics multiple-choice items. The quality of distractors may be more important than their number and the stem in a multiple-choice question. Little attention is given to this aspect of item writing especially, mathematics multiple-choice questions. This article…

Abdullah Abdul Wahab Alsayar – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Testlets bring several perks in the development and administration of tests, such as 1) the construction of meaningful test items, 2) the avoidance of non-relevant context exposure, 3) the improvement of testing efficiency, and 4) the progression of testlet items requiring higher thinking skills. Thus, the inclusion of testlets in educational…

Kokou A. Atitsogbe; Jean-Luc Bernaud – International Journal for Educational and Vocational Guidance, 2024
This manuscript aimed to develop an instrument assessing vocational values among students (VVS-S). The scale was developed in French using three different samples of Togolese participants for item development (N = 140), exploratory (N = 308) and confirmatory analyses (N = 300). It consists of 17 items divided into the five subscales of Power,…

Ketabi, Somaye; Alavi, Seyyed Mohammed; Ravand, Hamdollah – International Journal of Language Testing, 2021
Although Diagnostic Classification Models (DCMs) were introduced to education system decades ago, it seems that these models were not employed for the original aims upon which they had been designed. Using DCMs has been mostly common in analyzing large-scale non-diagnostic tests and these models have been rarely used in developing Cognitive…

Villarroel, Verónica; Boud, David; Bloxham, Susan; Bruna, Daniela; Bruna, Carola – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2020
Tests and examinations are widely used internationally. Despite their pervasiveness, they tend to measure lower order thinking skills in a decontextualized manner at a time when the literature frequently argues for the benefits of a richer, authentic approach to assessment. The focus of this paper is to improve authenticity in test assessment…

Sahin, Melek Gülsah; Yildirim, Yildiz; Boztunç Öztürk, Nagihan – Participatory Educational Research, 2023
Literature review shows that the development process of an achievement test is mainly investigated in dissertations. Moreover, preparing a form that will shed light on developing an achievement test is expected to guide those who will administer the test. In this line, the current study aims to create an "Achievement Test Development Process…
