In this Forum article, Komatsu and Rappleye report that the results of PISA 2015 released December 2016 revealed a major oddity: reading scores in several of the "leading" East Asian countries had apparently plummeted. An interesting point is that Japan, Taiwan, Korea and Hong Kong are among the most advanced technological societies in…

Canan; Suwartono, Tono; Urbánek, Tomáš; Wechsler, Solange; Zelenevska, Tamara; Zanev, Svetoslav; Zhang, Jianxin – International Journal of Testing, 2017
On behalf of the International Test Commission and the European Federation of Psychologists' Associations a world-wide survey on the opinions of professional psychologists on testing practices was carried out. The main objective of this study was to collect data for a better understanding of the state of psychological testing worldwide. These data…

Ting, Mu Yu – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2017
Using the capabilities of expert knowledge structures, the researcher prepared test questions on the university calculus topic of "finding the area by integration." The quiz is divided into two types of multiple choice items (one out of four and one out of many). After the calculus course was taught and tested, the results revealed that…

Cusi, Annalisa; Morselli, Francesca; Sabena, Cristina – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2017
This paper is based on a design-based research project investigating how to use digital resources to help activate formative assessment processes in the classroom. Performed as part of FaSMEd, a European Union project, our own project adopts a comprehensive theoretical framework, including the different functionalities of technology, formative…

Maddox, Bryan – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2017
This article discusses talk and gesture as neglected sources of process data (Maddox, 2015, Maddox and Zumbo, 2017). The significance of the article is the growing use of various sources of process data in computer-based testing (Ercikan and Pellegrino, (Eds.) 2017; Zumbo and Hubley, (Eds.) 2017). The use of process data on talk and gesture…

McLaughlin, T.; Yan, Z. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2017
This article is a review of literature on online formative assessment (OFA). It includes a narrative summary that synthesizes the research on the diverse delivery methods of OFA, as well as the empirical literature regarding the strong psychological benefits and limitations. Online formative assessment can be delivered using many traditional…

O'Keeffe, Cormac – E-Learning and Digital Media, 2017
International Large Scale Assessments have been producing data about educational attainment for over 60 years. More recently however, these assessments as tests have become digitally and computationally complex and increasingly rely on the calculative work performed by algorithms. In this article I first consider the coordination of relations…

Chen, Ping – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2017
Calibration of new items online has been an important topic in item replenishment for multidimensional computerized adaptive testing (MCAT). Several online calibration methods have been proposed for MCAT, such as multidimensional "one expectation-maximization (EM) cycle" (M-OEM) and multidimensional "multiple EM cycles"…

Petrovic, J.; Pale, P.; Jeren, B. – Education and Information Technologies, 2017
This study aimed to investigate the effects of using online formative assessments on students' learning achievements. Using a quasi-experimental study design with one control group (no formative assessments available), and two experimental groups receiving feedback in available online formative assessments (knowledge of the correct response--KCR,…

Lu, Xiaofei – Language Testing, 2017
Research investigating corpora of English learners' language raises new questions about how syntactic complexity is defined theoretically and operationally for second language (L2) writing assessment. I show that syntactic complexity is important in construct definitions and L2 writing rating scales as well as in L2 writing research. I describe…

Kunnan, Antony John; Carr, Nathan – Language Testing in Asia, 2017
Background: This study examined the comparability of reading and writing tasks of two English language proficiency tests--the General English Proficiency Test-A (GEPT-A) developed by Language Training Center, Taipei and the Internet-Based Test of English as a Foreign Language (iBT) developed by Educational Testing Service, Princeton. Methods: Data…

Su, Shiyang – ProQuest LLC, 2017
With the online assessment becoming mainstream and the recording of response times becoming straightforward, the importance of response times as a measure of psychological constructs has been recognized and the literature of modeling times has been growing during the last few decades. Previous studies have tried to formulate models and theories to…

The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) provides greater flexibility in state accountability systems than did previous federal legislation. In response, many states continue to refine their accountability systems to include college readiness tests, including college admissions and placement exams. This paper summarizes perspectives of K-12…

Bao, Yingying; Chen, Guanliang; Hauff, Claudia – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2017
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are a promising form of online education. However, the occurrence of academic dishonesty has been threatening MOOC certificates' effectiveness as a serious tool for recruiters and employers. Recently, a large-scale study on the log traces from more than one hundred MOOCs created by Harvard and MIT has identified…

Jönsson, Martin L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
Hampton (1988) discovered that people are subject to "overextension"--they categorize some things as falling under a conjunction (e.g., they categorize chess as a "sport which is also a game") but not as falling under both of the corresponding conjuncts (e.g., they do not categorize chess as a "sport"). Although…
