A vast body of studies has a propensity towards considering system admission test (SAT) scores as one collective variable that influences the licensure examination performance. The current article revisits this research area and further takes a step forward in analysing the influence of SAT score grouped into two categories as passed and…

Direct linkWeiss, Brandi A.; Dardick, William – Journal of Experimental Education, 2021
Classification measures and entropy variants can be used as indicators of model fit for logistic regression. These measures rely on a cut-point, "c," to determine predicted group membership. While recommendations exist for determining the location of the cut-point, these methods are primarily anecdotal. The current study used Monte Carlo…

Muranaka-Vuletich, Hiromi – Education and Information Technologies, 2021
Many tertiary language courses have some online components as part of their blended learning initiatives. These online activities could be part of assessments, and online quizzes/tests can be used as preparation for the demanding final written examination. This study attempts to shed some light on the effects of online tests on final examination…

Prior work proposed a shortened version of the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS), a commonly used quantitative measure of social communication traits. We used data from 3031 participants (including 190 ASD cases) from the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program to compare distributional properties and criterion validity of…

Nagy, Marcell; Molontay, Roland – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2021
An important problem in higher education is to find the most suitable admission procedure that can distinguish between students with high academic potential and future dropouts. Admissions usually rely on pre-enrolment achievement measures; therefore, it is crucial that these selection criteria have high predictive validity on academic…

Haagsman, Marjolein; Snoek, Basten; Peeters, Anton; Scager, Karin; Prins, Frans; van Zanten, Martijn – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2021
Students are generally required to demonstrate diverse skills when writing their bachelor thesis. Accordingly, examiners are expected to consider all these skills when assessing the thesis, regularly with one overall grade. In this study, we examine which criteria of a rubric contribute most to the overall assessment. The study is performed…

Will, Elizabeth A.; Roberts, Jane E. – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2021
Motor skills, an important foundation for language and communication, are considerably delayed in children with Down syndrome (DS) and fragile X syndrome (FXS). However, the impact of these impairments on expressive and receptive communication and the phenotypic specificity of these associations remains unknown. Participants included 37 with DS…

Rosman, Tom; Merk, Samuel – AERA Open, 2021
We investigate in-service teachers' reasons for trust and distrust in educational research compared to research in general. Building on previous research on a so-called "smart but evil" stereotype regarding educational researchers, three sets of confirmatory hypotheses were preregistered. First, we expected that teachers would emphasize…

Wiberg, Marie – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2021
The overall aim was to examine the equated values when using different linkage plans and different observed-score equipercentile equating methods with the equivalent groups (EG) design and the nonequivalent groups with anchor test (NEAT) design. Both real data from a college admissions test and simulated data were used with frequency estimation,…

Shin, Dongkwang; Kwon, Suh Keong; Lee, Yongsang – Language Testing in Asia, 2021
Language learners today have access to a much wider choice of resources and language-support tools that aid their writing processes. While research on the convenience and flexibility of the writing resources that learners use in real-life writing activities have argued for a re-conceptualization of writing ability, little is known about the effect…

Olney, Andrew M. – Grantee Submission, 2021
Cloze items are commonly used for both assessing learning and as a learning activity. This paper investigates the selection of sentences for cloze item creation by comparing methods ranging from simple heuristics to deep learning summarization models. An evaluation using human-generated cloze items from three different science texts indicates that…

Isunget, Martin A.; Conley, Dalton; Zachrisson, Henrik D.; Ystrøm, Eivind; Havdahl, Alexandra; Njølstad, Pål R.; Lyngstad, Torkild – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2021
Research into the intergenerational transmission of educational advantage has long been criticized for not paying sufficient attention to genetics. This study is based on the Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study (MoBa) and administrative register data on 25000 genotyped Norwegian children and their parents. We assess and disentangle the…

Basic teacher certification examinations serve as the primary tool for assessing the academic readiness of candidates to enter teacher education programs in many parts of the United States. However, data indicate that teacher examinations disproportionately hinder diverse individuals. Current research has linked Florida's General Knowledge,…
