When describing motion in physics, the selection of a frame of reference is crucial. The graph of a moving object can look quite different based on the frame of reference. In recent years, various tests have been developed to assess the interpretation of kinematic graphs, but none of these tests have specifically addressed differences in reference…

Ruying Li; Gaofeng Li – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2025
Systems thinking (ST) is an essential competence for future life and biology learning. Appropriate assessment is critical for collecting sufficient information to develop ST in biology education. This research offers an ST framework based on a comprehensive understanding of biological systems, encompassing four skills across three complexity…

Enemy items are two test items that should not be presented to a candidate on the same test. Identifying enemies is essential for personnel assessment, as they weaken the measurement precision and validity of a test. In this research, we examined the effectiveness of lexical and semantic natural language processing techniques for identifying enemy…

Yi-Jui I. Chen; Yi-Jhen Wu; Yi-Hsin Chen; Robin Irey – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2025
A short form of the 60-item computer-based orthographic processing assessment (long-form COPA or COPA-LF) was developed. The COPA-LF consists of five skills, including rapid perception, access, differentiation, correction, and arrangement. Thirty items from the COPA-LF were selected for the short-form COPA (COPA-SF) based on cognitive diagnostic…

Nathaniel Owen; Ananda Senel – Review of Education, 2025
Transparency in high-stakes English language assessment has become crucial for ensuring fairness and maintaining assessment validity in language testing. However, our understanding of how transparency is conceptualised and implemented remains fragmented, particularly in relation to stakeholder experiences and technological innovations. This study…

Wu; Mustafa Sahin – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2025
Developmental domains, such as cognitive, language, and motor, are key concepts of interest in longitudinal studies of intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Normative scores (e.g., IQ) are often used to operationalize performance on standardized tests of these concepts, but it is the interval-distributed person-ability scores that are…

The purpose of this National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Achievement Levels Validity Argument Report is to synthesize evidence currently available to address the validity of the interpretations and uses of the NAEP Achievement Levels. Validity is the extent to which theory and evidence supports or refutes proposed and enacted test…

Pasquale Anselmi; Jürgen Heller; Luca Stefanutti; Egidio Robusto; Giulia Barillari – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
Competence-based test development (CbTD) is a novel method for constructing tests that are as informative as possible about the competence state (the set of skills an individual masters) underlying the item responses. If desired, the tests can also be minimal, meaning that no item can be eliminated without reducing their informativeness. To…

Mehmet Fatih Doguyurt; Seref Tan – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2025
This study investigates the impact of violating the local item independence assumption by loading certain items onto a second dimension on test equating errors in unidimensional and dichotomous tests. The research was designed as a simulation study, using data generated based on the PISA 2018 mathematics exam. Analyses were conducted under 36…

The aim of this study was to develop an instrument for assessing sixth-grade students' number sense skills in fractions and decimals. This study was conducted on 452 sixth graders (10-11 years old) from the western region of Turkey. The construct validity of the number sense test (NST) was examined via exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and…

Background: Mental health (MH) problems are more common in people with intellectual disabilities (ID), yet under-diagnosis persists, which may be partly due to a lack of appropriate assessment tools. This study presents a systematic review of instruments used to assess MH problems in Spanish-speaking adults with ID. Method: Following PRISMA…

The purpose of the study was to develop the Teachers' Mental Toughness Questionnaire (TMTQ). The questionnaire was developed in six stages: item generation, content validity, exploratory factor analysis, reliability tests, convergent validity tests, and discriminant validity. The factor analysis indicates that it measures six factors: team,…

Many undergraduate chemistry students hold alternate conceptions related to resonance--an important and fundamental topic of organic chemistry. To help address these alternate conceptions, an organic chemistry instructor could administer the resonance concept inventory (RCI), which is a multiple-choice assessment that was designed to identify…
