Thompson, Kathryn N. – ProQuest LLC, 2023
It is imperative to collect validity evidence prior to interpreting and using test scores. During the process of collecting validity evidence, test developers should consider whether test scores are contaminated by sources of extraneous information. This is referred to as construct irrelevant variance, or the "degree to which test scores are…

Dina Kamber Hamzic; Mirsad Trumic; Ismar Hadžalic – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2025
Trigonometry is an important part of secondary school mathematics, but it is usually challenging for students to understand and learn. Since trigonometry is learned and used at a university level in many fields, like physics or geodesy, it is important to have an insight into students' trigonometry knowledge before the beginning of the university…

Slepkov, A. D.; Van Bussel, M. L.; Fitze, K. M.; Burr, W. S. – SAGE Open, 2021
There is a broad literature in multiple-choice test development, both in terms of item-writing guidelines, and psychometric functionality as a measurement tool. However, most of the published literature concerns multiple-choice testing in the context of expert-designed high-stakes standardized assessments, with little attention being paid to the…
