Rios, Joseph A.; Ihlenfeldt, Samuel D.; Dosedel, Michael; Riegelman, Amy – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2020
This systematic review investigated the topics studied and reporting practices of published meta-analyses in educational measurement. Our findings indicated that meta-analysis is not a highly utilized methodological tool in educational measurement; on average, less than one meta-analysis has been published per year over the past 30 years (28…

Yang, Li-Ping; Xin, Tao – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2022
The upgrade educational information technology triggered by COVID-19 has shaped a new educational order and new educational forms. As a result, traditional educational measurement is now facing a systematic transformation, that is, from the Assessment of Learning (AoL) to Assessment for Learning (AfL), and finally to Assessment as Learning (AaL).…

Mo, Ya; Carney, Michele; Cavey, Laurie; Totorica, Tatia – Applied Measurement in Education, 2021
There is a need for assessment items that assess complex constructs but can also be efficiently scored for evaluation of teacher education programs. In an effort to measure the construct of teacher attentiveness in an efficient and scalable manner, we are using exemplar responses elicited by constructed-response item prompts to develop…

Matejak Cvenic, Karolina; Planinic, Maja; Susac, Ana; Ivanjek, Lana; Jelicic, Katarina; Hopf, Martin – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
A new diagnostic instrument, the Conceptual Survey on Wave Optics (CSWO), was developed and validated on 224 high school students (aged 18-19 years) in Croatia. The process of test construction, which included the testing of 61 items on the total of 712 students is presented. The final version of the test consists of 26 multiple-choice items which…

Wang, Rui; Krosnick, Jon A. – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2020
Questionnaires routinely measure unipolar and bipolar constructs using rating scales. Such rating scales can offer odd numbers of points, meaning that they have explicit middle alternatives, or they can offer even numbers of points, omitting the middle alternative. By examining four types of questions in six national or regional telephone surveys,…

Zlatkin-Troitschanskaia, Olga; Kühling-Thees, Carla; Gordon, Judith; Reichert-Schlax, Jasmin; Happ, Roland; Pant, Hans-Anand – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2022
According to teaching-learning theories, interventions in educational practice require a valid diagnosis of students' learning preconditions. Cognitive dispositions at the beginning of studies are the strongest predictor of knowledge acquisition. In the context of increasing numbers of beginning students with heterogeneous preconditions, valid…

Sharakhimov, Shoaziz; Nurmukhamedov, Ulugbek – English Teaching Forum, 2021
Vocabulary learning is an incremental process. Vocabulary knowledge, especially for second-language learners, may develop across a lifetime. Teachers with experience in providing feedback on their students' vocabulary use in writing or speech might have noticed that it is sometimes difficult to pinpoint one aspect of word knowledge. The reason is…

Liu, Ou Lydia; Rios, Joseph A.; Heilman, Michael; Gerard, Libby; Linn, Marcia C. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2016
Constructed response items can both measure the coherence of student ideas and serve as reflective experiences to strengthen instruction. We report on new automated scoring technologies that can reduce the cost and complexity of scoring constructed-response items. This study explored the accuracy of c-rater-ML, an automated scoring engine…

He, Chunxiu – International Journal of Higher Education, 2019
Given the practical significance of vocabulary testing in language teaching and the theoretical foundations of developing a vocabulary test, four well-established vocabulary tests are introduced for diagnostic purpose together with their corresponding validation studies, with a focus on the designed purpose, the selection of the items, the…

Morgan, Grant B.; Moore, Courtney A.; Floyd, Harlee S. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2018
Although content validity--how well each item of an instrument represents the construct being measured--is foundational in the development of an instrument, statistical validity is also important to the decisions that are made based on the instrument. The primary purpose of this study is to demonstrate how simulation studies can be used to assist…

Schendel, Rebecca; Tolmie, Andrew – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2017
Critical thinking is frequently proposed as one of the most important learning outcomes of a university education. However, to date, it has been difficult to ascertain whether university students in low-income contexts are improving in their critical thinking skills, because the limited studies in this domain have relied on instruments developed…

Pae, Hye K. – Educational Research and Evaluation, 2012
Multiple traits of language proficiency as well as test method effects were concurrently analyzed to investigate interrelations of construct validity, convergent validity, and discriminant validity using multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) matrices. A total of 585 test takers' scores were derived from the field test of the "Pearson Test of English…

Ihme, Jan Marten; Senkbeil, Martin; Goldhammer, Frank; Gerick, Julia – European Educational Research Journal, 2017
The combination of different item formats is found quite often in large scale assessments, and analyses on the dimensionality often indicate multi-dimensionality of tests regarding the task format. In ICILS 2013, three different item types (information-based response tasks, simulation tasks, and authoring tasks) were used to measure computer and…

Yarnell, Jordy B.; Pfeiffer, Steven I. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2015
The present study examined the psychometric equivalence of administering a computer-based version of the Gifted Rating Scale (GRS) compared with the traditional paper-and-pencil GRS-School Form (GRS-S). The GRS-S is a teacher-completed rating scale used in gifted assessment. The GRS-Electronic Form provides an alternative method of administering…
