Yang, Chunliang; Li, Jiaojiao; Zhao, Wenbo; Luo, Liang; Shanks, David R. – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
Practice testing is a powerful tool to consolidate long-term retention of studied information, facilitate subsequent learning of new information, and foster knowledge transfer. However, practitioners frequently express the concern that tests are anxiety-inducing and that their employment in the classroom should be minimized. The current review…

Constructing a Roadmap to Measure the Quality of Business Assessments Aimed at Curriculum Management
Silva, Thanuci; Santos, Regiane dos; Mallet, Débora – Journal of Education for Business, 2023
Assuring the quality of education is a concern of learning institutions. To do so, it is necessary to have assertive learning management, with consistent data on students' outcomes. This research provides associate deans and researchers, a roadmap with which to gather evidence to improve the quality of open-ended assessments. Based on statistical…

Thuy Ho Hoang Nguyen; Bao Trang Thi Nguyen; Giang Thi Linh Hoang; Nhung Thi Hong Pham; Tu Thi Cam Dang – Language Testing in Asia, 2024
The present study explored the comparability in performance scores between the computer-delivered and face-to-face modes for the two speaking tests in the Vietnamese Standardized Test of English Proficiency (VSTEP) (the VSTEP.2 and VSTEP.3-5 Speaking tests) according to Vietnam's Six-Level Foreign Language Proficiency Framework (VNFLPF) and test…

Srikanth Allamsetty; M. V. S. S. Chandra; Neelima Madugula; Byamakesh Nayak – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2024
The present study is related to the problem associated with student assessment with online examinations at higher educational institutes (HEIs). With the current COVID-19 outbreak, the majority of educational institutes are conducting online examinations to assess their students, where there would always be a chance that the students go for…

Classification of Multiple Text Reading Test Formats by Analyzing English Language Proficiency Tests
Yosuke Mikami – Language Testing in Asia, 2024
This study proposes a classification method for multiple text reading test formats in English language proficiency tests. A preliminary study involving 11 proficiency tests revealed two tests that fit the scope of the main study. Results show that multiple text reading test formats use complementary texts rather than conflicting texts. As for…

Jan Karem Höhne; Achim Goerres – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2024
The measurement of political solidarities and related concepts is an important endeavor in numerous scientific disciplines, such as political and social science research. European surveys, such as the Eurobarometer, frequently measure these concepts for people's home country and Europe raising questions with respect to the order of precedence.…

Lishi Liang; W. L. Quint Oga-Baldwin; Kaori Nakao; Luke K. Fryer; Alex Shum – Technology in Language Teaching & Learning, 2024
Phonological processing of written characters has been recognized as a crucial element in acquiring literacy in any language, both native and foreign. This study aimed to assess Japanese primary school students' phoneme-grapheme recognition skills using both paper-based and touch-interface tests. Differences between the two test formats and the…

Shaojie Wang; Won-Chan Lee; Minqiang Zhang; Lixin Yuan – Applied Measurement in Education, 2024
To reduce the impact of parameter estimation errors on IRT linking results, recent work introduced two information-weighted characteristic curve methods for dichotomous items. These two methods showed outstanding performance in both simulation and pseudo-form pseudo-group analysis. The current study expands upon the concept of information…

Barno Sayfutdinovna Abdullaeva; Fidel Çakmak; Diyorjon Abdullaev – Language Testing in Asia, 2024
This research explores how paper and online assessments (OA) can affect EFL learners' personal development variables such as self-esteem, mindfulness, demotivation, and language learning development. Sixty intermediate English as a foreign language (EFL) students participated in the current research and were randomly grouped into the experimental…

Jones, Paul; Tong, Ye; Liu, Jinghua; Borglum, Joshua; Primoli, Vince – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2022
This article studied two methods to detect mode effects in two credentialing exams. In Study 1, we used a "modal scale comparison approach," where the same pool of items was calibrated separately, without transformation, within two TC cohorts (TC1 and TC2) and one OP cohort (OP1) matched on their pool-based scale score distributions. The…

Kmetty, Zoltán; Stefkovics, Ádám – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2022
Questionnaire design choices, such as handling 'do not know' answers or using check all that apply questions may impact the level of item- and unit nonresponse. We used experimental data from an online panel and the questions of ESS to examine how applying forced answering, offering DK/NA options and specific question formats (CATA vs. forced…

Cerullo, Enzo; Jones, Hayley E.; Carter, Olivia; Quinn, Terry J.; Cooper, Nicola J.; Sutton, Alex J. – Research Synthesis Methods, 2022
Standard methods for the meta-analysis of medical tests, without assuming a gold standard, are limited to dichotomous data. Multivariate probit models are used to analyse correlated dichotomous data, and can be extended to model ordinal data. Within the context of an imperfect gold standard, they have previously been used for the analysis of…

Jiajing Huang – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The nonequivalent-groups anchor-test (NEAT) data-collection design is commonly used in large-scale assessments. Under this design, different test groups take different test forms. Each test form has its own unique items and all test forms share a set of common items. If item response theory (IRT) models are applied to analyze the test data, the…

Rivers, Michelle L.; Dunlosky, John – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Prior research has investigated whether learners spontaneously adapt their encoding strategies in anticipation of particular test formats (i.e., the "encoding-strategy adaptation hypothesis"; Finley & Benjamin, 2012). However, the strongest evidence supporting this hypothesis is confounded with test experience (as argued by Cho &…

Sebastian Moncaleano – ProQuest LLC, 2021
The growth of computer-based testing over the last two decades has motivated the creation of innovative item formats. It is often argued that technology-enhanced items (TEIs) provide better measurement of test-takers' knowledge, skills, and abilities by increasing the authenticity of tasks presented to test-takers (Sireci & Zenisky, 2006).…
