Burhan Ogut; Blue Webb; Juanita Hicks; Ruhan Circi; Michelle Yin – Grantee Submission, 2024
In this study, we explore the application of process mining techniques on assessment log data to explore problem-solving strategies in Algebra. By analyzing sequences of student activities, we demonstrate the significant potential of process mining in identifying problem-solving strategies that lead to successful and unsuccessful outcomes. Our…

Yiling Cheng; I-Chien Chen; Barbara Schneider; Mark Reckase; Joseph Krajcik – Applied Measurement in Education, 2024
The current study expands on previous research on gender differences and similarities in science test scores. Using three different approaches -- differential item functioning, differential distractor functioning, and decision tree analysis -- we examine a high school science assessment administered to 3,849 10th-12th graders, of whom 2,021 are…

Jewsbury, Paul A. – ETS Research Report Series, 2019
When an assessment undergoes changes to the administration or instrument, bridge studies are typically used to try to ensure comparability of scores before and after the change. Among the most common and powerful is the common population linking design, with the use of a linear transformation to link scores to the metric of the original…

Jansen, Thorben; Vögelin, Cristina; Machts, Nils; Keller, Stefan; Möller, Jens – Frontline Learning Research, 2021
When judging subject-specific aspects of students' texts, teachers should assess various characteristics, e.g., spelling and content, independently of one another since these characteristics are indicators of different skills. Independent judgments enable teachers to adapt their classroom instruction according to students' skills. It is still…

Sabatini, John; Wang, Zuowei; O'Reilly, Tenaha – Reading Research Quarterly, 2019
In this secondary analysis study, the authors explored the relations between reading comprehension and oral reading performance in fourth-grade students, using a data set from the U.S. National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) special study of oral reading. The data set consisted of 1,713 students randomly selected from the 140,000 fourth…

Grabovsky, Irina; Wainer, Howard – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2017
In this essay, we describe the construction and use of the Cut-Score Operating Function in aiding standard setting decisions. The Cut-Score Operating Function shows the relation between the cut-score chosen and the consequent error rate. It allows error rates to be defined by multiple loss functions and will show the behavior of each loss…

Rakes, Christopher R.; Ronau, Robert N. – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2019
The present study examined the ability of content domain (algebra, geometry, rational number, probability) to classify mathematics misconceptions. The study was conducted with 1,133 students in 53 algebra and geometry classes taught by 17 teachers from three high schools and one middle school across three school districts in a Midwestern state.…

Malone, Amelia S.; Fuchs, Lynn S. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2017
The three purposes of this study were to (a) describe fraction ordering errors among at-risk fourth grade students, (b) assess the effect of part-whole understanding and accuracy of fraction magnitude estimation on the probability of committing errors, and (c) examine the effect of students' ability to explain comparing problems on the probability…

van Rijn, Peter W.; Sinharay, Sandip; Haberman, Shelby J.; Johnson, Matthew S. – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2016
Latent regression models are used for score-reporting purposes in large-scale educational survey assessments such as the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). One component of these models is based on item response theory. While there exists some research on assessment…
