Marcoulides, Katerina M.; Grimm, Kevin J. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2017
Synthesizing results from multiple studies is a daunting task during which researchers must tackle a variety of challenges. The task is even more demanding when studying developmental processes longitudinally and when different instruments are used to measure constructs. Data integration methodology is an emerging field that enables researchers to…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Lu, Yi – Journal of Educational Issues, 2016
To model students' math growth trajectory, three conventional growth curve models and three growth mixture models are applied to the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study Kindergarten-Fifth grade (ECLS K-5) dataset in this study. The results of conventional growth curve model show gender differences on math IRT scores. When holding socio-economic…

Dynamic Measurement Modeling: Using Nonlinear Growth Models to Estimate Student Learning Capacity
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Dumas, Denis G.; McNeish, Daniel M. – Educational Researcher, 2017
Single-timepoint educational measurement practices are capable of assessing student ability at the time of testing but are not designed to be informative of student capacity for developing in any particular academic domain, despite commonly being used in such a manner. For this reason, such measurement practice systematically underestimates the…

Wang, Cen; Williams, Kate E.; Shahaeian, Ameneh; Harrison, Linda J. – School Psychology Quarterly, 2018
The objective of this study is to examine the trajectory of internalizing problems across middle childhood among a population sample of Australian children, and to understand the timing of explanatory factors related to children's development of internalizing problems, by using multiple-indicator latent growth curve modeling. Participants were…
