Spreadsheets are a core computational tool for practicing engineers and engineering students. While Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, and other spreadsheet tools have some differences, numerous formulas, functions, and other tasks are common across versions and platforms. Building upon learning science frameworks showing that interactive activities…

PaaBen, Benjamin; Dywel, Malwina; Fleckenstein, Melanie; Pinkwart, Niels – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
Item response theory (IRT) is a popular method to infer student abilities and item difficulties from observed test responses. However, IRT struggles with two challenges: How to map items to skills if multiple skills are present? And how to infer the ability of new students that have not been part of the training data? Inspired by recent advances…

Carlson, James E. – ETS Research Report Series, 2017
In this paper, I consider a set of test items that are located in a multidimensional space, S[subscript M], but are located along a curved line in S[subscript M] and can be scaled unidimensionally. Furthermore, I am demonstrating a case in which the test items are administered across 6 levels, such as occurs in K-12 assessment across 6 grade…

Direct linkWallace, Matthew P.; Ke, Haijiao – TEFLIN Journal: A publication on the teaching and learning of English, 2023
This study examined the content alignment between an English as a foreign language skills curriculum and a provincial language test in China. When there is misalignment in the content between the standards of a curriculum and a test, conclusions about student abilities and teaching effectiveness can be questioned. To examine this, three categories…

Goolsby-Cole, Cody; Bass, Sarah M.; Stanwyck, Liz; Leupen, Sarah; Carpenter, Tara S.; Hodges, Linda C. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
During the pandemic, the use of question pools for online testing was recommended to mitigate cheating, exposing multitudes of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students across the globe to this practice. Yet instructors may be unfamiliar with the ways that seemingly small changes between questions in a pool can expose…

Mehri Izadi; Maliheh Izadi; Farrokhlagha Heidari – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
In today's environment of growing class sizes due to the prevalence of online and e-learning systems, providing one-to-one instruction and feedback has become a challenging task for teachers. Anyhow, the dialectical integration of instruction and assessment into a seamless and dynamic activity can provide a continuous flow of assessment…

Biology education plays a vital role in nurturing the understanding of learners about the intricacy of life. Various efforts have emerged to strengthen learning biological concepts but there were still studies that showed that learners have low mastery in some aspects. To determine how well students understood various biological topics, including…

Chengyu Cui; Chun Wang; Gongjun Xu – Grantee Submission, 2024
Multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) models have generated increasing interest in the psychometrics literature. Efficient approaches for estimating MIRT models with dichotomous responses have been developed, but constructing an equally efficient and robust algorithm for polytomous models has received limited attention. To address this gap,…

Yildirim, Ozen – International Education Studies, 2019
The measurement tool not measuring the specific construct has a validity problem. Individuals based on the results obtained from this type of tool should not be evaluated. The purpose of this study was to examine the differentiated item functioning and item bias of mathematics items in the Programme for International Student Achievement 2012…

Raykov, Tenko; Dimitrov, Dimiter M.; Marcoulides, George A.; Harrison, Michael – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2019
Building on prior research on the relationships between key concepts in item response theory and classical test theory, this note contributes to highlighting their important and useful links. A readily and widely applicable latent variable modeling procedure is discussed that can be used for point and interval estimation of the individual person…

Bürkner, Paul-Christian; Schulte, Niklas; Holling, Heinz – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2019
Forced-choice questionnaires have been proposed to avoid common response biases typically associated with rating scale questionnaires. To overcome ipsativity issues of trait scores obtained from classical scoring approaches of forced-choice items, advanced methods from item response theory (IRT) such as the Thurstonian IRT model have been…

Robitzsch, Alexander; Lüdtke, Oliver – Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice, 2019
One major aim of international large-scale assessments (ILSAs) is to monitor changes in student performance over time. To accomplish this task, a set of common items is repeatedly administered in each assessment and linking methods are used to align the results from the different assessments on a common scale. The present article introduces a…

The Early Childhood Environment Rating Scales, including the "Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale--Revised" (Harms et al., 2005) and the "Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale, Third Edition" (Harms et al., 2015) are the most widely used observational assessments in early childhood learning environments. The most recent…

Bundsgaard, Jeppe – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2019
International large-scale assessments like international computer and information literacy study (ICILS) (Fraillon et al. in International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), 2015) provide important empirically-based knowledge through the proficiency scales, of what characterizes tasks at different difficulty levels,…
