Ole J. Kemi – Advances in Physiology Education, 2025
Students are assessed by coursework and/or exams, all of which are marked by assessors (markers). Student and marker performances are then subject to end-of-session board of examiner handling and analysis. This occurs annually and is the basis for evaluating students but also the wider learning and teaching efficiency of an academic institution.…

van Rensburg, Clarisse; Mostert, Karina – Journal of Student Affairs in Africa, 2023
Student well-being has gradually become a topic of interest in higher education, and the accurate, valid, and reliable measure of well-being constructs is crucial in the South African context. This study examined item bias and configural, metric and scalar invariance of the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) for South African first-year…

Morley, Alicen; Nissen, Jayson M.; Van Dusen, Ben – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Instructors and researchers often use research-based assessments to identify the impact of instructional activities. These investigations often focus on issues of diversity, equity, and inclusions by comparing outcomes across social identity groups (e.g., gender, race, and class). Comparisons across groups assume the assessments measure the same…

Yousuf, Mustafa S.; Miles, Katherine; Harvey, Heather; Al-Tamimi, Mohammad; Badran, Darwish – Journal of University Teaching and Learning Practice, 2022
Exams should be valid, reliable, and discriminative. Multiple informative methods are used for exam analysis. Displaying analysis results numerically, however, may not be easily comprehended. Using graphical analysis tools could be better for the perception of analysis results. Two such methods were employed: standardized x-bar control charts with…

Sherman, Martin F.; Sriken, Julie; Erford, Bradley T.; Smith, Heather L.; MacInerney, Erin; Niarhos, Frances; Kipper-Smith, Adriana – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 2021
Analysis of CCAPS-34 scores on a large (n = 4,852) university counseling center student sample supported internal consistency ([alpha] = 0.803-0.896), one-month test-retest reliability (r[subscript tt] = 0.706-0.829), convergent and divergent validity, and good model fit. Measurement invariance of scores for all categories of race and student…

The Video Engagement Scale (VES) is a quality indicator to assess engagement in experimental video-vignette studies, but its measurement properties warrant improvement. Data from previous studies were combined (N = 2676) and split into three subsamples for a stepped analytical approach. We tested construct validity, criterion validity,…

Adrian Adams; Lauren Barth-Cohen – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2024
In undergraduate research settings, students are likely to encounter anomalous data, that is, data that do not meet their expectations. Most of the research that directly or indirectly captures the role of anomalous data in research settings uses post-hoc reflective interviews or surveys. These data collection approaches focus on recall of past…

Schmitz, Eva A.; Salemink, Elske; Wiers, Reinout W.; Jansen, Brenda R. J. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2022
The Abbreviated Math Anxiety Scale (AMAS) is commonly used to compare groups on math anxiety. Group comparisons should however be preceded by a demonstration of metric and scalar measurement invariance, which is currently only available for undergraduate students in the USA. This study tested for metric and scalar measurement invariance of AMAS…
