Jiawei Xiong; George Engelhard; Allan S. Cohen – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2025
It is common to find mixed-format data results from the use of both multiple-choice (MC) and constructed-response (CR) questions on assessments. Dealing with these mixed response types involves understanding what the assessment is measuring, and the use of suitable measurement models to estimate latent abilities. Past research in educational…

Yi-Hsuan Lee; Yue Jia – Applied Measurement in Education, 2024
Test-taking experience is a consequence of the interaction between students and assessment properties. We define a new notion, rapid-pacing behavior, to reflect two types of test-taking experience -- disengagement and speededness. To identify rapid-pacing behavior, we extend existing methods to develop response-time thresholds for individual items…

Kim, Dong-In; Julian, Marc; Hermann, Pam – Online Submission, 2022
In test equating, one critical equating property is the group invariance property which indicates that the equating function used to convert performance on each alternate form to the reporting scale should be the same for various subgroups. To mitigate the impact of disrupted learning on the item parameters during the COVID-19 pandemic, a…

Soysal, Sumeyra; Yilmaz Kogar, Esin – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2021
In this study, whether item position effects lead to DIF in the condition where different test booklets are used was investigated. To do this the methods of Lord's chi-square and Raju's unsigned area with the 3PL model under with and without item purification were used. When the performance of the methods was compared, it was revealed that…

Barenberg, Jonathan; Berse, Timo; Reimann, Laura; Dutke, Stephan – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2021
The application of knowledge to new contexts (i.e., transfer) is a central aim of learning processes and has become a new focus of testing effect research. In a quasi-experimental design, we investigated the transfer of retrieval practice effects on English vocabulary learning on eighth-grade students (N = 182) by applying a typical testing effect…

Ilhan, Mustafa; Öztürk, Nagihan Boztunç; Sahin, Melek Gülsah – Participatory Educational Research, 2020
In this research, the effect of an item's type and cognitive level on its difficulty index was investigated. The data source of the study consisted of the responses of the 12535 students in the Turkey sample (6079 and 6456 students from eighth and fourth grade respectively) of TIMSS 2015. The responses were a total of 215 items at the eighth-grade…
