As a result of the increase in online course offerings at colleges and universities, the prevalence of online and computerized examinations has increased over the last two decades. Beyond academia, online examinations have been used to assess competence for certifications by both governments and private firms. Despite this importance, a randomized…

The clinical spectrum of Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS) is varied, with wide-ranging degrees of intellectual disability, developmental delays, behavioral abnormalities, and medical features. Different types of genetic variation lead to PMS, and differing genotypes (e.g., size of deletion or type of variant) account for some of this variability,…

This study evaluated the impact of subgroup weighting for equating through a common-item anchor. We used data from a single test form to create two research forms for which the equating relationship was known. The results showed that equating was most accurate when the new form and reference form samples were weighted to be similar to the target…

This quantitative study investigated the relationship between institutional control and NCLEX first-time pass rates during 2017-2021 for BSN, ADN, and LVN programs in the United States while controlling for school and program level characteristics. The study included five years of data gathered from nursing regulatory agencies and the Integrated…

Bal-Sezerel, Bilge; Atesgöz, N. Nazli; Kirisçi, Nilgün – Journal of Theoretical Educational Science, 2023
The Flynn effect, which advocated that there was a rise in the global IQ score, was widely accepted by the relevant scientific community. However, there are recent research findings that this effect has been reversed. In this study, both Flynn and anti-Flynn effects were investigated. The purpose of this study is to analyze students' general,…

Li, Dongmei; Kapoor, Shalini – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2022
Population invariance is a desirable property of test equating which might not hold when significant changes occur in the test population, such as those brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. This research aims to investigate whether equating functions are reasonably invariant when the test population is impacted by the pandemic. Based on…

Measurement invariance (MI) is a psychometric property of an instrument indicating the degree to which scores from an instrument are comparable across groups. In recent years, there has been a marked uptick in publications using MI in intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) samples. Our goal here is to provide an overview of why MI is…

Deborah J. Harris – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2024
This article is based on my 2023 NCME Presidential Address, where I talked a bit about my journey into the profession, and more substantively about comparable scores. Specifically, I discussed some of the different ways 'comparable scores' are defined, highlighted some areas I think we as a profession need to pay more attention to when considering…

Kim, Sooyeon; Walker, Michael E. – ETS Research Report Series, 2021
Equating the scores from different forms of a test requires collecting data that link the forms. Problems arise when the test forms to be linked are given to groups that are not equivalent and the forms share no common items by which to measure or adjust for this group nonequivalence. We compared three approaches to adjusting for group…

Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) is one of the most frequently used gifted identification tools. In this meta-analytic study, we investigated empirical evidence of the validity of CogAT, in relation to different types of instruments. After reviewing 1,480 studies, a total of 24 with 33 effect sizes were included in the meta-analysis. According to…

The present work assessed a quizzing method that combines the benefits of retrieval practice and feedback, whereby learners must continue taking quizzes until they achieve a perfect score with feedback provided (i.e., "mastery quizzing"). Across four experiments (n = 952; age 18-76, M = 37.10, SD = 11.61; 50% female, 48% male, 2% other…

Task-based language assessment represents a major component of task-based language teaching syllabi. Current perspectives emphasise the importance of tasks in the assessment process, suggesting that adherence to influential models of language production during task design yields predictable test outcomes. The current study contends that the…

Theories of self-regulated learning suggest a positive link between knowledge monitoring accuracy (the ability to predict test performance) and performance on tests. Put differently, students who accurately monitor their knowledge of course content more efficiently regulate study of course materials. However, a plethora of literature indicates…

In the traditional teaching mode, it is difficult for teachers to have a comprehensive understanding of each student's study, and it is also hard for them to provide targeted guidance and assistance. With the development of data collection and analysis technology, schools and educational institutions can make better use of big data technology to…

Analyses of heterogeneous treatment effects (HTE) are common in applied causal inference research. However, when outcomes are latent variables assessed via psychometric instruments such as educational tests, standard methods ignore the potential HTE that may exist among the individual items of the outcome measure. Failing to account for…
