Wan, Lei; Henly, George A. – Applied Measurement in Education, 2012
Many innovative item formats have been proposed over the past decade, but little empirical research has been conducted on their measurement properties. This study examines the reliability, efficiency, and construct validity of two innovative item formats--the figural response (FR) and constructed response (CR) formats used in a K-12 computerized…

Stecher, Brian M.; Klein, Stephen P.; Solano-Flores, Guillermo; McCaffrey, Dan; Robyn, Abby; Shavelson, Richard J.; Haertel, Edward – Applied Measurement in Education, 2000
Studied content domain, format, and level of inquiry as factors contributing to the large variation in student performance across open-ended measures. Results for more than 1,200 eighth graders do not support the hypothesis that tasks similar in content, format, and level of inquiry would correlate higher with each other than with measures…

Gender Differences in Mathematics and Science on a High School Proficiency Exam: The Role of Response Format.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
DeMars, Christine E. – Applied Measurement in Education, 1998
Scores from mathematics (tested at 102 schools) and science (tested at 99 schools) sections of pilot forms of the Michigan High School Proficiency Test were examined for interaction between gender and response format (multiple choice or constructed response). Overall, neither males nor females seemed to be disadvantaged by item format. (SLD)

DeMars, Christine E. – Applied Measurement in Education, 2000
Studied the effects of test consequences, response formats, gender, and ethnicity on the mathematics and science sections of the Michigan High School Proficiency Test. Results for more than 11,000 students show that students taking constructed response and multiple choice formats performed better under high stakes conditions. Discusses gender and…
