Lee, Chansoon – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2022
Appropriate placement into courses at postsecondary institutions is critical for the success of students in terms of retention and graduation rates. To reduce the number of students who are misplaced, using multiple measures in placing students is encouraged. However, in practice most postsecondary schools utilize only a few measures to determine…

Powell, Bradley; Van Herwegen, Jo – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
This study examined individual differences as well as the development of sensory processing difficulties in children with Williams syndrome (WS) using a cross-sectional (Experiment 1) and longitudinal design (Experiment 2). In Experiment 1, a clustering approach of sensory processing scores suggested two groups. Experiment 2 showed that the…

Olney, Andrew M. – Grantee Submission, 2022
Cloze items are a foundational approach to assessing readability. However, they require human data collection, thus making them impractical in automated metrics. The present study revisits the idea of assessing readability with cloze items and compares human cloze scores and readability judgments with predictions made by T5, a popular deep…

In two studies, we used the Gottschaldt's Hidden Figure Test (GHFT) for assessing figure disembedding ability in children aged 7-11. Study 1 demonstrated in a large sample of typically developing children that GHFT accuracy and time scores differed across age groups, without sex and socioeconomic differences. Thus, we provided normative data only…

Wanna, Wendiyfraw – Asian-Pacific Journal of Second and Foreign Language Education, 2022
In order to have a better understanding of the nature of reading behavior, it is quite essential to scrutinize the underlying assumptions of the two competing theories: the componential approach and unitary hypothesis and see how this is reflected on testing the reading skills. As a result, the current study was aimed at broadening the existing…

Collier, Zachary K.; Leite, Walter L. – Journal of Experimental Education, 2022
Artificial neural networks (NN) can help researchers estimate propensity scores for quasi-experimental estimation of treatment effects because they can automatically detect complex interactions involving many covariates. However, NN is difficult to implement due to the complexity of choosing an algorithm for various treatment levels and monitoring…

Demir, Suleyman – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2022
This study aims to compare normality tests in different sample sizes in data with normal distribution under different kurtosis and skewness coefficients obtained simulatively. To this end, firstly, simulative data were produced using the MATLAB program for different skewness/kurtosis coefficients and different sample sizes. The normality analysis…

Guo, Hongwen; Dorans, Neil J. – ETS Research Report Series, 2019
We derive formulas for the differential item functioning (DIF) measures that two routinely used DIF statistics are designed to estimate. The DIF measures that match on observed scores are compared to DIF measures based on an unobserved ability (theta or true score) for items that are described by either the one-parameter logistic (1PL) or…

Zhang, Zhonghua – Applied Measurement in Education, 2020
The characteristic curve methods have been applied to estimate the equating coefficients in test equating under the graded response model (GRM). However, the approaches for obtaining the standard errors for the estimates of these coefficients have not been developed and examined. In this study, the delta method was applied to derive the…

Sun, Ting; Kim, Stella Yun – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2021
In many large testing programs, equipercentile equating has been widely used under a random groups design to adjust test difficulty between forms. However, one thorny issue occurs with equipercentile equating when a particular score has no observed frequency. The purpose of this study is to suggest and evaluate six potential methods in…

Roozenbeek, Jon; Maertens, Rakoen; McClanahan, William; van der Linden, Sander – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2021
Online misinformation is a pervasive global problem. In response, psychologists have recently explored the theory of psychological inoculation: If people are preemptively exposed to a weakened version of a misinformation technique, they can build up cognitive resistance. This study addresses two unanswered methodological questions about a widely…

Emmanuel Olorunleke Eseyin; Chisom Ure Eseyin – Hungarian Educational Research Journal, 2024
Every year, several teachers retire from the education sector in Rivers State and these teaching retirees still have a lot they can contribute to the education system but can only deliver lifelong educational services when life after retirement is patterned to what is obtainable during active service. The study investigated teaching retirees' life…

Tugçe Karapolat; Tolga Özsen; Levent Çetinkaya – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
This study aims to investigate how social media tools, in other words social network services (SNS), affects the success of Japanese language learners in learning Japanese culture in undergraduate programs. For this research, a mixed method approach was used with a quantitative, quasi-experimental research design including a pre-test-post-test…

Adam Voight; Regina Giraldo-García; Laura Fogarty; Steven Sanders; Alexandrea R. Golden; Matthew Linick; Elisabeth Davis – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2024
School climate is theoretically important for the academic achievement of students in urban schools because safety and support at school may compensate for negative structural forces experienced elsewhere. There is strong evidence for an association between school climate and student achievement, but little suggests the association's…

There is a strong and growing focus on self-determination in French-speaking countries, and this pilot study reports the technical adequacy of the Self-Determination Inventory: Student Report (SDI:SR) French Translation. Data were collected with 471 French-speaking youth with and without disabilities in Canada (Quebec), Switzerland, France, and…
