Maass, Jaclyn K.; Pavlik, Philip I., Jr. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2016
This research combines work in memory, retrieval practice, and depth of processing research. This work aims to identify how the format and depth of a retrieval practice item can be manipulated to increase the effort required to successfully recall or formulate an answer, with the hypothesis that if the effort required to answer an item is…

Lopez, Alexis A.; Guzman-Orth, Danielle; Zapata-Rivera, Diego; Forsyth, Carolyn M.; Luce, Christine – ETS Research Report Series, 2021
Substantial progress has been made toward applying technology enhanced conversation-based assessments (CBAs) to measure the English-language proficiency of English learners (ELs). CBAs are conversation-based systems that use conversations among computer-animated agents and a test taker. We expanded the design and capability of prior…

Buczek-Zawila, Anita – Teaching English with Technology, 2021
The study focuses on the process of assessing (a micro-skill) goal attainment in EFL pronunciation course via measures which can foster different students' attitudes and self-perceptions. Standard (pen-and-paper) tests offer immediate evidence of success but they put heavy demands on students' cognitive, performance and stress-controlling skills.…

Hildenbrand, Lena; Wiley, Jennifer – Grantee Submission, 2021
Many studies have demonstrated that testing students on to-be-learned materials can be an effective learning activity. However, past studies have also shown that some practice test formats are more effective than others. Open-ended recall or short answer practice tests may be effective because the questions prompt deeper processing as students…

Almansour, Shaden; Alaudan, Rasha – English Language Teaching, 2022
Since March 2020, the world has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in sudden school closures and a rapid transition from traditional face-to-face education to a new model of online learning and assessment. The present study analyzes two cohorts--primary-school EFL teachers and students' parents--regarding the perceptions they…

Nicklin, Christopher; Vitta, Joseph P. – Language Testing, 2022
Instrument measurement conducted with Rasch analysis is a common process in language assessment research. A recent systematic review of 215 studies involving Rasch analysis in language testing and applied linguistics research reported that 23 different software packages had been utilized. However, none of the analyses were conducted with one of…

Hamhuis, Eva; Glas, Cees; Meelissen, Martina – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2020
Over the last two decades, the educational use of digital devices, including digital assessments, has become a regular feature of teaching in primary education in the Netherlands. However, researchers have not reached a consensus about the so-called "mode effect," which refers to the possible impact of using computer-based tests (CBT)…

DeMara, Ronald F.; Bacanli, Salih S.; Bidoki, Neda; Xu, Jun; Nassiff, Edwin; Donnelly, Julie; Turgut, Damla – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2020
This research developed an approach to integrate the complementary benefits of digitized assessments and peer learning. Its basic premise and associated hypotheses are that by using student assessments of correct and incorrect quiz answers using a fine-grained resolution to pair them into remediation peer-learning cohorts is an effective means of…

Mbonigaba, Josue; Oumar, Saidou B. – Africa Education Review, 2017
Whether or not the scores for multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and written questions (WQs) in formative assessments are the same, has been a subject of intense scrutiny. However, the evidence for their similarity at different levels of cognitive ability in applied courses has not been sufficiently documented. This study analysed the comparability…

Kapuza, A. V.; Tyumeneva, Yu. A. – Russian Education & Society, 2017
One of the ways of controlling for the influence of social expectations on the answers given by survey respondents is to use a social desirability scale together with the main questions. The social desirability scale, which was included in the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) international comparative study for this purpose, was…

Hohensinn, Christine; Baghaei, Purya – Psicologica: International Journal of Methodology and Experimental Psychology, 2017
In large scale multiple-choice (MC) tests alternate forms of a test may be developed to prevent cheating by changing the order of items or by changing the position of the response options. The assumption is that since the content of the test forms are the same the order of items or the positions of the response options do not have any effect on…

Kisanga, Sarah Ezekiel – Journal of the International Association of Special Education, 2019
This paper assessed the accessibility of examinations and information for students with visual impairment, across different education levels in Tanzania. The study was guided by three research questions. While the first research question explored barriers to the accessibility of examinations for students with visual impairment, the second research…

Yasuno, Fumiko; Nishimura, Keiichi; Negami, Seiya; Namikawa, Yukihiko – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2019
Our study is on developing mathematics items for Computer-Based Testing (CBT) using Tablet PC. These items are subject-based items using interactive dynamic objects. The purpose of this study is to obtain some suggestions for further tasks drawing on field test results for developed items. First, we clarified the role of the interactive dynamic…

Yang, Chunliang; Chew, Siew-Jong; Sun, Bukuan; Shanks, David R. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2019
Interim testing of studied information, compared with restudying or no treatment, facilitates subsequent learning and retention of new information--"the forward testing effect." Previous research exploring this effect has shown that interim testing of studied information from a given domain enhances subsequent learning and retention of…

Zawoyski, Andrea; Ardoin, Scott P. – School Psychology Review, 2019
Reading comprehension assessments often include multiple-choice (MC) questions, but some researchers doubt their validity in measuring comprehension. Consequently, new assessments may include more short-answer (SA) questions. The current study contributes to the research comparing MC and SA questions by evaluating the effects of anticipated…
