Gao, Xuliang; Ma, Wenchao; Wang, Daxun; Cai, Yan; Tu, Dongbo – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2021
This article proposes a class of cognitive diagnosis models (CDMs) for polytomously scored items with different link functions. Many existing polytomous CDMs can be considered as special cases of the proposed class of polytomous CDMs. Simulation studies were carried out to investigate the feasibility of the proposed CDMs and the performance of…

Wu, Shimei; Zheng, Xinye; Guo, Jin; Li, Chuan-Zhong; Wei, Chu – Field Methods, 2020
The exercise of quantifying the energy consumption data assembled through household surveys, either by the recall-based approach or the meter-based approach, remains a challenging task, especially in rural areas of developing countries. In this article, we propose a device-based bottom-up accounting method for estimating household energy…

Liu, Fuchang – School Science and Mathematics, 2009
Four hundred and three 3rd- and 5th-grade Chinese students took the Multiplication Estimation Test or participated in the interview on it, designed to assess their computational estimation performance on whole-number multiplication. Students perform better when tasks are presented visually than orally. Third graders tend to use rounding based…

Schleppenbach, Meg; Perry, Michelle; Miller, Kevin F.; Sims, Linda; Fang, Ge – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2007
The authors investigated the use of a particular discourse practice--continued questioning and discussion after a correct answer was provided, which they called extended discourse--and examined the frequency and content of this practice in 17 Chinese and 14 U.S. elementary mathematics classes. They found that the Chinese classrooms had more, and…

Lai, Dejian – Social Indicators Research, 2007
Based on the recent three population censuses of China, in this article, we used life table technique to compute the expected years of working life for the Chinese labor force in the primary, secondary and tertiary industries in 1982, 1990 and 2000. We found, after two decades of economic reform, the expected years of working life in the primary…
