Metsämuuronen, Jari – International Journal of Educational Methodology, 2020
A new index of item discrimination power (IDP), dimension-corrected Somers' D (D2) is proposed. Somers' D is one of the superior alternatives for item-total- (Rit) and item-rest correlation (Rir) in reflecting the real IDP with items with scales 0/1 and 0/1/2, that is, up to three categories. D also reaches the extreme value +1 and -1 correctly…

Goretzko, David; Heumann, Christian; Bühner, Markus – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2020
Exploratory factor analysis is a statistical method commonly used in psychological research to investigate latent variables and to develop questionnaires. Although such self-report questionnaires are prone to missing values, there is not much literature on this topic with regard to exploratory factor analysis--and especially the process of factor…

Walker, Cindy M.; Göçer Sahin, Sakine – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2020
The purpose of this study was to investigate a new way of evaluating interrater reliability that can allow one to determine if two raters differ with respect to their rating on a polytomous rating scale or constructed response item. Specifically, differential item functioning (DIF) analyses were used to assess interrater reliability and compared…

Mueller, Claude; Mildenberger, Thoralf; Lübcke, Maren – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2020
Evidence-based research is becoming increasingly important in educational research. Calculation and test methods available in statistical software packages such as SPSS and STATA are widely used. To evaluate teaching innovations such as blended learning against classical classroom settings, for example, previous studies have mainly applied…

Lüdeke, Sören; Linderkamp, Friedrich; Baumann, Tobias; Lembke, Eva Julia – Child & Youth Care Forum, 2020
Background: The association between problem behavior in children and adolescents and creativity has hardly been examined. The few studies available report contradictory findings. There is some empirical evidence that a low socioeconomic status coincides with lower creativity test achievements. Objective: The current study addresses the question…

Haverkamp, Nils; Holz, Christoph; Ubben, Malte; Pusch, Alexander – Physics Teacher, 2020
The Michelson interferometer is one of the key experiments in modern physics when it comes to the topic of interference (Box 1). Experiments using interferometry have a high historic relevance as well as uses in current areas of research (quantum erasers, gravitational wave detection) and are used in higher education. Because of the high cost of…

Shi, Dexin; Lee, Taehun; Fairchild, Amanda J.; Maydeu-Olivares, Alberto – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2020
This study compares two missing data procedures in the context of ordinal factor analysis models: pairwise deletion (PD; the default setting in Mplus) and multiple imputation (MI). We examine which procedure demonstrates parameter estimates and model fit indices closer to those of complete data. The performance of PD and MI are compared under a…

Metsämuuronen, Jari – International Journal of Educational Methodology, 2020
Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient between item g and test score X, known as item-test or item-total correlation ("Rit"), and item-rest correlation ("Rir") are two of the most used classical estimators for item discrimination power (IDP). Both "Rit" and "Rir" underestimate IDP caused by the…

Morris, John; Winter, Margie – American Biology Teacher, 2021
We describe a series of three experiments in which students develop a model system for measuring the LC50 of household substances, using grass seed as the model organism. Students use statistical methods to compare two samples (using chi-square and Student's "t"-tests), conduct a two-level multifactor experiment to look at multiple…

Erdogan, Ramazan; Yilmaz, Metin; Aydemir, Isa – Asian Journal of Education and Training, 2021
This research was conducted to determine Physical Education and Sports teachers' nutritional habits and physical activity levels during the global epidemic (covid-19) process. 156 (121 male, 35 female) volunteer physical education and sports teachers working in Elazig province participated in the study. In order to determine the demographic…

Brauer, Jonathan R.; Day, Jacob C.; Hammond, Brittany M. – Sociological Methods & Research, 2021
This article presents two alternative methods to null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) for improving inferences from underpowered research designs. Post hoc design analysis (PHDA) assesses whether an NHST analysis generating null findings might otherwise have had sufficient power to detect effects of plausible magnitudes. Bayesian analysis…

Man, Kaiwen; Harring, Jeffrey R. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2021
Many approaches have been proposed to jointly analyze item responses and response times to understand behavioral differences between normally and aberrantly behaved test-takers. Biometric information, such as data from eye trackers, can be used to better identify these deviant testing behaviors in addition to more conventional data types. Given…

Su, Shiyang; Wang, Chun; Weiss, David J. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2021
S-X[superscript 2] is a popular item fit index that is available in commercial software packages such as "flex"MIRT. However, no research has systematically examined the performance of S-X[superscript 2] for detecting item misfit within the context of the multidimensional graded response model (MGRM). The primary goal of this study was…

Ellis-Davies, Kate; Lew-Levy, Sheina; Fleming, Eleanor; Boyette, Adam H.; Baguley, Thom – Field Methods, 2021
Temporal aspects of child and adolescent time allocation in diverse cultural settings have been difficult to model using conventional statistical techniques. A new statistical approach, Egocentric Relational Event Modelling (EREM), allows for the simultaneous modelling of activity frequency, duration, and sequencing. Here, EREM is applied to a…

Kim, Eunsook; von der Embse, Nathaniel – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2021
Although collecting data from multiple informants is highly recommended, methods to model the congruence and incongruence between informants are limited. Bauer and colleagues suggested the trifactor model that decomposes the variances into common factor, informant perspective factors, and item-specific factors. This study extends their work to the…
