Kaplan, Carolyn Shemwell; Brownstein, Erica M.; Graham-Day, Kristall J. – SAGE Open, 2017
The Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) Standards requires educator preparation programs (EPPs) to ensure instruments used to assess their candidates are both valid and reliable. Due to size and limited financial resources, this task may be challenging for some EPPs. In an effort to address CAEP's expectations, 26 EPPs in…

Stokes, Erin; Olivier, Dianne F. – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
Reform is a common tool used by policymakers to increase student achievement. Unfortunately, reform efforts are not always successful. However, researchers have demonstrated that school culture and climate both impact student achievement (Cavanaugh & Dellar, 1997; Cohen, Fege, & Pickeral, 2009; D' Alessandro & Sadh, 1998; MacNeil,…

Gwan-Hyeok Im; Tim McNamara – English Teaching, 2017
Scores on the Test of English for International Communication Listening and Reading (TOEIC LR) have been used for rolling-based university admissions in South Korea. Because this test is not designed for that purpose by the testing organization, there may be a need to explore the validity of TOEIC LR score use for admission purposes. Accordingly,…

Scherer, Ronny; Meßinger-Koppelt, Jenny; Tiemann, Rüdiger – International Journal of STEM Education, 2014
Background: Complex problem-solving competence is regarded as a key construct in science education. But due to the necessity of using interactive and intransparent assessment procedures, appropriate measures of the construct are rare. This paper consequently presents the development and validation of a computer-based problem-solving environment,…

Wu, Pai-Hsing; Wu, Hsin-Kai; Hsu, Ying-Shao – International Journal of Science Education, 2014
The emphasis on scientific inquiry has increased the importance in developing the fundamental abilities to conduct scientific investigations and urged a need for valid assessments of students' inquiry abilities. We took advantage of the advanced technology to develop a simulation-based assessment of inquiry abilities (SAIA) that allowed…

Kmetová, Mária; Vagová, Renáta; Kmet, Tibor – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2019
Dynamic geometry environment allows us to investigate geometric relationships and problems more efficiently than the pencil-and-paper method. Continuous variation of geometric configurations shows the relationship from different points of view. This paper aims to provide some indications of how a dynamic geometry environment, especially GeoGebra…

Santi, Kristi L.; Khalaf, Shiva; Bunta, Ferenc; Rojas, Raúl; Francis, David J. – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2019
This article examines the validity of IQ-achievement discrepancy and low achievement as criteria for the identification of disabilities in Spanish-speaking English-language learners (ELs) and the factors that moderate the validity of these approaches as bases for identification. While there has been a long history of examining the validity of…
