A Highly Adaptive Testing Design for PISA
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Andreas Frey; Christoph König; Aron Fink – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2025
The highly adaptive testing (HAT) design is introduced as an alternative test design for the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). The principle of HAT is to be as adaptive as possible when selecting items while accounting for PISA's nonstatistical constraints and addressing issues concerning PISA such as item position effects.…

Xiuxiu Tang; Yi Zheng; Tong Wu; Kit-Tai Hau; Hua-Hua Chang – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2025
Multistage adaptive testing (MST) has been recently adopted for international large-scale assessments such as Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). MST offers improved measurement efficiency over traditional nonadaptive tests and improved practical convenience over single-item-adaptive computerized adaptive testing (CAT). As a…

Evaluating and Predicting Survey Efficiency Using Generalizability Theory.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Johnson, Sandra; Bell, John F. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1985
The assessment framework underlying a science performance monitoring program is process-oriented and intended to appeal to generalizability theory for a suitable estimation paradigm. Preliminary applications are described. Results suggest that computerized question-banking, domain-sampling of questions, and generalizablity theory together provide…
