Developing a Two-Tier Proportional Reasoning Skill Test: Validity and Reliability Studies
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Acikgul, Kubra – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2021
The main aim of this study is to develop a useful, valid, and reliable two-tier proportional reasoning skill test for middle school 7th and 8th-grade students. The research was carried out using the sequential explanatory mixed method. The study group of this research comprised of 391 (n[subscript 7th-grade]=223, n[subscript 8th-grade]=168)…

Kucukera, Sevgi; Cifci Tekinarslan, Ilknur – Educational Sciences: Theory and Practice, 2015
This study examines whether the self-concepts, social skills, problem behaviors, and loneliness levels of students with special educational needs (SEN) in inclusive elementary classrooms differ from those of students without special educational needs (non-SEN). This study also aimed to identify the roles of self-concept, social skills, and problem…

An Application of Generalizability Theory to Evaluate the Technical Quality of an Alternate Assessment
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Taylor, Melinda Ann; Pastor, Dena A. – Applied Measurement in Education, 2013
Although federal regulations require testing students with severe cognitive disabilities, there is little guidance regarding how technical quality should be established. It is known that challenges exist with documentation of the reliability of scores for alternate assessments. Typical measures of reliability do little in modeling multiple sources…

Competence Assessment of Students with Special Educational Needs--Identification of Appropriate Testing Accommodations
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Südkamp, Anna; Pohl, Steffi; Weinert, Sabine – Frontline Learning Research, 2015
Including students with special educational needs in learning (SEN-L) is a challenge for large-scale assessments. In order to draw inferences with respect to students with SEN-L and to compare their scores to students in general education, one needs to assure that the measurement model is reliable and that the same construct is measured for…

Curriculum-Based Measurement in Science Learning: Vocabulary-Matching as an Indicator of Performance and Progress
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Espin, Christine A.; Busch, Todd W.; Lembke, Erica S.; Hampton, David D.; Seo, Kyounghee; Zukowski, Beth A. – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2013
The technical adequacy of curriculum-based measures in the form of short and simple vocabulary-matching probes to predict students' performance and progress in science at the secondary level was investigated. Participants were 198 seventh-grade students from 10 science classrooms. Curriculum-based measurements (CBM) were 5-min vocabulary-matching…

Modified Multiple-Choice Items for Alternate Assessments: Reliability, Difficulty, and Differential Boost
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kettler, Ryan J.; Rodriguez, Michael C.; Bolt, Daniel M.; Elliott, Stephen N.; Beddow, Peter A.; Kurz, Alexander – Applied Measurement in Education, 2011
Federal policy on alternate assessment based on modified academic achievement standards (AA-MAS) inspired this research. Specifically, an experimental study was conducted to determine whether tests composed of modified items would have the same level of reliability as tests composed of original items, and whether these modified items helped reduce…
