Direct linkSchmid, Matthias; Friede, Tim; Klein, Nadja; Weinhold, Leonie – Research Synthesis Methods, 2023
Recent years have seen the development of many novel scoring tools for disease prognosis and prediction. To become accepted for use in clinical applications, these tools have to be validated on external data. In practice, validation is often hampered by logistical issues, resulting in multiple small-sized validation studies. It is therefore…

Chet Robie; Sabah Rasheed; Stephen D. Risavy; Piers Steel – International Journal of Testing, 2024
This meta-analysis examined the validity of an alternative to traditional assessments called the Wonderlic which is a brief measure of general mental ability. Our results showed significant, positive correlations between Wonderlic scores and academic performance in general ([r-bar] = 0.26), between Wonderlic scores and undergraduate GPA in…

Dynamic assessments (DAs) of word reading skills demonstrate strong criterion reference validity with word reading measures (WRMs). However, DAs vary in the skills they assess, their format and administration method, and the type of words and symbols used in test items. These characteristics may have implications on assessment validity. To compare…

Daniel González-Devesa; José Carlos Diz-Gómez; Miguel Adriano Sanchez-Lastra; Aroa Otero Rodríguez; Carlos Ayán-Pérez – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2025
The aim of this study is to examine the available scientific evidence on the reliability and criterion validity of 6-minute run walk field-based test when administered to children and adolescents. Systematic searches were performed in three electronic databases (MEDLINE/PubMed, SPORTDiscuss and Scopus) from their inception until February 2024,…

The purpose of this systematic review was to survey available measures of creativity for pk12 students for assessments characteristics and reporting of psychometric properties. Using the PRISMA framework, we identified 42 unique articles with 48 assessments meeting our inclusion criteria. Then, two coders independently coded all articles using a…

Growth in the online survey market may be increasing response burden and possibly jeopardizing higher response rates. This meta-analysis evaluated survey trends over one decade (2011-2020) to determine: (1) changes in survey publication rates over time, (2) changes in response rates over time, (3) typical response rates within health sciences…

Bartlett, Kristin A.; Camba, Jorge D. – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
Spatial ability has long been regarded as important in STEM, and mental rotation, a subcategory of spatial ability, is widely accepted as the cognitive ability with the largest gender difference in favor of men. Multiple meta-analyses of various tests of spatial ability have found large gender differences in outcomes of the mental rotation test…

Qi, Hongchao; Rizopoulos, Dimitris; Rosmalen, Joost – Research Synthesis Methods, 2023
The meta-analytic-predictive (MAP) approach is a Bayesian method to incorporate historical controls in new trials that aims to increase the statistical power and reduce the required sample size. Here we investigate how to calculate the sample size of the new trial when historical data is available, and the MAP approach is used in the analysis. In…

Uzun, N. Bilge; Aktas, Mehtap; Akay, Cenk – Journal of Educational Technology, 2023
The challenges experienced in measurement and evaluation during the distance education process among student and instructor groups are discussed in the study. A qualitative meta-synthesis method is used in this research. Twenty studies were included in the meta-synthesis. The challenges experienced by the instructors are program utilization,…

Tomlin Gagen; Farahnaz Faez – Higher Education Research and Development, 2024
Thousands of education institutions worldwide rely on IELTS scores as criteria for accepting international students whose first language is not English. Individual studies have found varying degrees of strength of correlations and conflicting results between IELTS entry scores and subsequent academic success. These conflicting results were…

Romig, John Elwood; Miller, Alexandra A.; Therrien, William J.; Lloyd, John W. – Exceptionality, 2021
Researchers studying curriculum-based measurement of written expression have used a variety of writing prompt types and durations when establishing criterion validity of these tools. The purpose of this study was to determine through meta-analytic procedures whether any prompt type or duration was superior to others in terms of criterion validity.…

Ihlenfeldt, Samuel Dale; Rios, Joseph A. – Language Testing, 2023
For institutions where English is the primary language of instruction, English assessments for admissions such as the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and International English Language Testing System (IELTS) give admissions decision-makers a sense of a student's skills in academic English. Despite this explicit purpose, these exams…

Romig, John Elwood; Therrien, William J.; Lloyd, John W. – Journal of Special Education, 2017
We used meta-analysis to examine the criterion validity of four scoring procedures used in curriculum-based measurement of written language. A total of 22 articles representing 21 studies (N = 21) met the inclusion criteria. Results indicated that two scoring procedures, correct word sequences and correct minus incorrect sequences, have acceptable…

In this article, I provide answers to the questions posed by Will Shadish about the history and development of the Schmidt-Hunter methods of meta-analysis. In the 1970s, I headed a research program on personnel selection at the US Office of Personnel Management (OPM). After our research showed that validity studies have low statistical power, OPM…

Most social communication tests used to measure change in young children with autism spectrum disorder have not undergone rigorous psychometric evaluation. Notably, and most relevant to the early intervention literature, there is little information on the sensitivity of these measures to change over time, despite their frequent use. Further, most…
