Carmen Köhler; Lale Khorramdel; Artur Pokropek; Johannes Hartig – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2024
For assessment scales applied to different groups (e.g., students from different states; patients in different countries), multigroup differential item functioning (MG-DIF) needs to be evaluated in order to ensure that respondents with the same trait level but from different groups have equal response probabilities on a particular item. The…

Qiao, Xin; Jiao, Hong; He, Qiwei – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2023
Multiple group modeling is one of the methods to address the measurement noninvariance issue. Traditional studies on multiple group modeling have mainly focused on item responses. In computer-based assessments, joint modeling of response times and action counts with item responses helps estimate the latent speed and action levels in addition to…

Liu, Yimeng; Wang, Jian – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
The relationship between inquiry-based learning and science self-efficacy was analysed using data from 57 countries and economics participating in the 2015 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). This analysis generated a mediating--moderating model, which involved the mediating role of science interest and the moderating role of…

Qiao, Xin; Jiao, Hong – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2021
This study proposes explanatory cognitive diagnostic model (CDM) jointly incorporating responses and response times (RTs) with the inclusion of item covariates related to both item responses and RTs. The joint modeling of item responses and RTs intends to provide more information for cognitive diagnosis while item covariates can be used to predict…

Ozkale, Abdullah; Erdogan, Emel Ozdemir – International Journal of Progressive Education, 2020
The concept of financial literacy, which has become popular as a 21st-century skill, is also a new field for mathematics education. Financial literacy, which has taken place in PISA [Program for International Student Assessment] since 2012, has not only been presented as a separate course and has also increased in density in related courses such…

Trendtel, Matthias; Robitzsch, Alexander – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2021
A multidimensional Bayesian item response model is proposed for modeling item position effects. The first dimension corresponds to the ability that is to be measured; the second dimension represents a factor that allows for individual differences in item position effects called persistence. This model allows for nonlinear item position effects on…

Samo, Damianus D.; Darhim; Kartasasmita, Bana – International Education Studies, 2017
The purpose of this research is to develop contextual mathematical thinking learning model which is valid, practical and effective based on the theoretical reviews and its support to enhance higher-order thinking ability. This study is a research and development (R & D) with three main phases: investigation, development, and implementation.…

Deng, Zongyi – Teachers and Teaching: Theory and Practice, 2019
Employing Connelly and Xu's (this issue) conceptualisation of reciprocal learning, the article explores the potential for reciprocal learning about pedagogy provided by a body of PISA-inspired literature on high-performing education systems. I argue that the opportunities for reciprocal learning provided by that body of literature is rather…

Depaoli, Sarah; Clifton, James P.; Cobb, Patrice R. – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2016
A review of the software Just Another Gibbs Sampler (JAGS) is provided. We cover aspects related to history and development and the elements a user needs to know to get started with the program, including (a) definition of the data, (b) definition of the model, (c) compilation of the model, and (d) initialization of the model. An example using a…

Herborn, Katharina; Mustafic, Maida; Greiff, Samuel – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2017
Collaborative problem solving (CPS) assessment is a new academic research field with a number of educational implications. In 2015, the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) assessed CPS with a computer-simulated human-agent (H-A) approach that claimed to measure 12 individual CPS skills for the first time. After reviewing the…

Gabriel, Florence; Signolet, Jason; Westwell, Martin – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2018
Mathematics competency is fast becoming an essential requirement in ever greater parts of day-to-day work and life. Thus, creating strategies for improving mathematics learning in students is a major goal of education research. However, doing so requires an ability to look at many aspects of mathematics learning, such as demographics and…

Castejón, Alba; Zancajo, Adrián – European Educational Research Journal, 2015
This article focuses on analysing the effect of educational differentiation policies of OECD educational systems on socioeconomically disadvantaged students, based on data from PISA 2009. The analysis is conducted on the basis of a definition of two subgroups of disadvantaged students: those that achieve high scores, and those obtaining scores…

Damgaard, Mette Trier; Nielsen, Helena Skyt – European Commission, 2017
Globalisation and rapid technological progress have increased the focus on efficient investment in high-quality skills across the European Union (EU) countries. One issue that is high on the political agenda is the persistent underachievement among youths in many European countries meaning that approximately 20 percent of Europe's 15 year olds…

Sami, Fary – MathAMATYC Educator, 2012
During the last 20 years, there has been an increasing awareness that the U.S. is falling behind in its mathematics education of primary and secondary school students. For those who teach mathematics at the community college level, the deficiencies in mathematics education are painfully evident by the number of students requiring remedial math…
