Han, Areum; Krieger, Florian; Borgonovi, Francesca; Greiff, Samuel – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2023
Process data are becoming more and more popular in education research. In the field of computer-based assessments of collaborative problem solving (ColPS), process data have been used to identify students' test-taking strategies while working on the assessment, and such data can be used to complement data collected on accuracy and overall…

Avvisati, Francesco; Borgonovi, Francesca – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2023
Written instructions seldom need to be read when playing videogames. Instead, gaming often involves early information foraging and expansive exploration behaviors. We use data from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) to explore whether students who regularly play videogames (daily gamers) adopt behaviors that are typical of…

Robitzsch, Alexander; Lüdtke, Oliver – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2023
One major aim of international large-scale assessments (ILSA) like PISA is to monitor changes in student performance over time. To accomplish this task, a set of common items (i.e., link items) is repeatedly administered in each assessment. Linking methods based on item response theory (IRT) models are used to align the results from the different…

Scherer, Ronny; Beckmann, Jens F. – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2014
Background: On the basis of a 'problem solving as an educational outcome' point of view, we analyse the contribution of math and science competence to analytical problem-solving competence and link the acquisition of problem solving competence to the coherence between math and science education. We propose the concept of math-science coherence and…
