Bayan Masarwa; Hagit Hel-Or; Sharona T. Levy – Journal of Research in Childhood Education, 2024
Computational thinking (CT) activities are increasingly being integrated into early childhood schools. We focus on studying children's learning using an "unplugged" (non-computational) learning unit that considers a teacher's knowledge and classroom space and affords seamless adaptation into the classroom given the objects used in the…

Hsu, Chia-Ling; Chen, Yi-Hsin; Wu, Yi-Jhen – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2023
Correct specifications of hierarchical attribute structures in analyses using diagnostic classification models (DCMs) are pivotal because misspecifications can lead to biased parameter estimations and inaccurate classification profiles. This research is aimed to demonstrate DCM analyses with various hierarchical attribute structures via Bayesian…

Rogers, Angela – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2023
Place value is one of the 'big ideas' in number and plays a critical role in helping students develop their number sense, problem solving and computation skills. Yet, the elegant simplicity of our place value system belies the abstract nature of the construct. This paper presents data from 606 Year 3-6 students (ages 8-12) from two metropolitan…

Ben-Yaacov, Anat; Hershkovitz, Arnon – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Block programming has been suggested as a way of engaging young learners with the foundations of programming and computational thinking in a syntax-free manner. Indeed, syntax errors--which form one of two broad categories of errors in programming, the other one being logic errors--are omitted while block programming. However, this does not mean…

Wells, Craig S.; Sireci, Stephen G. – Applied Measurement in Education, 2020
Student growth percentiles (SGPs) are currently used by several states and school districts to provide information about individual students as well as to evaluate teachers, schools, and school districts. For SGPs to be defensible for these purposes, they should be reliable. In this study, we examine the amount of systematic and random error in…

Suk, Youmi; Kim, Jee-Seon; Kang, Hyunseung – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2021
There has been increasing interest in exploring heterogeneous treatment effects using machine learning (ML) methods such as causal forests, Bayesian additive regression trees, and targeted maximum likelihood estimation. However, there is little work on applying these methods to estimate treatment effects in latent classes defined by…

Levin, Nathan A. – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2021
The Big Data for Education Spoke of the NSF Northeast Big Data Innovation Hub and ETS co-sponsored an educational data mining competition in which contestants were asked to predict efficient time use on the NAEP 8th grade mathematics computer-based assessment, based on the log file of a student's actions on a prior portion of the assessment. In…

de León, Sara C.; Jiménez, Juan E.; García, Eduardo; Gutiérrez, Nuria; Gil, Verónica – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2021
The main purpose of this study was to validate the curriculum-based measure "Indicadores de Progreso de Aprendizaje en Matemáticas" (IPAM [Indicators of Basic Early Math Skills]) in a local, Spanish-speaking context. This tool has been designed to identify first-grade students at risk for mathematics learning disabilities. The IPAM…

Huang, Hsin-Mei E. – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
The current study examined the effects of grade level and object size on the ability to estimate the measurement of objects. Fifth- (n = 198) and sixth-grade (n = 208) students and freshman undergraduate students (n = 71) from Taipei city, Taiwan, participated in the study. The findings indicated a tendency for measurement estimation ability to…

Alonzo, Julie; Anderson, Daniel – Behavioral Research and Teaching, 2018
In response to a request for additional analyses, in particular reporting confidence intervals around the results, we re-analyzed the data from prior studies. This supplementary report presents the results of the additional analyses addressing classification accuracy, reliability, and criterion-related validity evidence. For ease of reference, we…

Maf'ulah, Syarifatul; Juniati, Dwi; Siswono, Tatag Yuli Eko – Educational Research and Reviews, 2016
The fact that there is no much study on reversibility is one of reason this study was conducted. Others, the importance of reversibility is also being researcher's motivation for focusing pupils' reversibility. On the other hand, the concern on pupils' reversibility is a major concern. The objective of this research is to identify errors done by…

Rutkowski, Leslie; Zhou, Yan – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2015
Given the importance of large-scale assessments to educational policy conversations, it is critical that subpopulation achievement is estimated reliably and with sufficient precision. Despite this importance, biased subpopulation estimates have been found to occur when variables in the conditioning model side of a latent regression model contain…

Wright, Robert J. – South African Journal of Childhood Education, 2013
This article describes a comprehensive and novel approach to assessment in early numeracy. Topics include the significance of early numeracy, developing a nomenclature for early numeracy, and describing the context for the development of this approach to assessment. The largely unrealised importance of numerals and numeral sequences in early…

Center for Innovation in Assessment (NJ1), 2013
The First Grade Pre-Screening is designed to be used at the start of the first grade school year so that teachers can obtain information about their incoming students. This information is intended to give teachers insight about what math and reading skills a student may or may not have at the beginning of the year. The information can aid teachers…
