Direct linkSauder, Derek; DeMars, Christine – Applied Measurement in Education, 2020
We used simulation techniques to assess the item-level and familywise Type I error control and power of an IRT item-fit statistic, the "S-X"[superscript 2]. Previous research indicated that the "S-X"[superscript 2] has good Type I error control and decent power, but no previous research examined familywise Type I error control.…

Dorans, Neil J. – ETS Research Report Series, 2020
This report, which is based on an invited presentation given at the 2015 meeting of the Association of Test Publishers, is a response to the continuing proliferation of scale linking studies that have occurred since the publication of "Uncommon Measures" in 1999.The report has four parts. First, I restate the conclusions made in…

Sarroub, Loukia K.; England, William R. – Journal of Ethnographic & Qualitative Research, 2020
Operationalizing space is challenging because the factors impacting education are often located at different scales. Combining Geographic Information Systems and ethnographic analyses allows researchers to conduct studies at both micro- and macro-scales, thus illuminating the connections between local and global phenomena. In our first case, we…

Rowley, Thomas; McCrudden, Matthew T. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2020
We investigated the effect of retrieval practice (i.e., the use of testing to enhance learning) by middle school students on science learning in an authentic educational setting. For initial study, all students (n = 39) read a science text and made study notes about the text, a regular study activity in their course. For restudy (2 days later),…

Duman, Ibrahim; Horzum, Mehmet Baris; Randler, Christoph – International Journal of Psychology and Educational Studies, 2020
Intrinsic motivation has a crucial role in students' learning and should therefore be taken into consideration in educational activities. In this study, the short scale of intrinsic motivation scale developed by Wilde et al. in 2009 was adapted to Turkish Culture. This is an intrinsic motivation scale, which is an adapted, time-economic version of…

Gómez, Laura E.; Morán, M. Lucía; Alcedo, M. Ángeles; Arias, Víctor B.; Verdugo, Miguel-Ángel – Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2020
Despite the advances on the assessment of quality of life, this concept is barely studied and is riddled with important limitations for those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This article is aimed at validating a questionnaire to assess quality of life of children with ASD and intellectual disability (ID). Based on the KidsLife Scale, geared…

Knekta, Eva; Rowland, Ashley A.; Corwin, Lisa A.; Eddy, Sarah – International Journal of STEM Education, 2020
Boosting students' disciplinary interest has long been considered an important mechanism to increase student success and retention in STEM education. Yet, interest is a complex construct and can mean different things to different people, and many of the existing interest questionnaires do not identify a specific theoretical framework underlying…

Gray, Emma – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2020
Background: The Questionnaire on Attitudes Consistent with Sexual Offending (QACSO) is an assessment developed by Lindsay, Whitefield, Carson, Broxholme and Steptoe (2004). The QACSO was designed to assess cognitive distortions relating to sexual offending in males with intellectual disabilities (ID). Cognitive distortions form part of the offence…

Sorby, Sheryl A.; Panther, Grace C. – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2020
The Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) testing is conducted every 3 years by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD; oecd.org) with 15-year-olds across the globe. Students complete a battery of tests in science, reading, and mathematics and complete an attitudinal survey. The goal of the PISA testing is…

Davis-Berg, Elizabeth C.; Minbiole, Julie – School Science Review, 2020
The completion rates were compared for long-form questions where a large blank answer space is provided and for long-form questions where the answer space has bullet-points prompts corresponding to the parts of the question. It was found that students were more likely to complete a question when bullet points were provided in the answer space.…

Chen, Hsinyi; Zhu, Jianjun; Liao, Yung-Kun; Keith, Timothy Z. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2020
This study investigated the factorial invariance of the Taiwan Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Fifth Edition (WISC-V) across age and gender. A higher order five-factor model was tested on a nationally representative sample of 1,034 children aged 6-16 years. The results demonstrated full factorial invariance for Taiwan children of…

Harwood, Cynthia J.; Meyer, Jeanne; Towns, Marcy H. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
The purpose of this communication is to describe and document the challenges of delivering a general chemistry laboratory experience to students and of moving toward multiple small assessments and away from high-stakes examinations. By leveraging of activities that were already in place prior to the pivot to online learning, namely, an electronic…

Although norm-referenced scores are essential to the identification of disability, they possess several features which affect their sensitivity to change. Norm-referenced scores often decrease over time among people with neurodevelopmental disorders who exhibit slower-than-average increases in ability. Further, the reliability of norm-referenced…

Kilmen, Sevilay; Arikan, Serkan – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2020
Perfectionism is a crucial concept in psychology as perfectionism has been found to be related to many important factors affecting daily and academic life. Many researchers have tried to measure perfectionism since 1980. Following an extensive literature review, Smith, Saklofske, Stoeber, and Sherry developed a new perfectionism scale called Big…
