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…

Carpenter, Rachel; Alloway, Tracy – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2019
School systems across the country are transitioning from paper-based testing (PBT) to computer-based testing (CBT). As this technological shift occurs, more research is necessary to understand the practical and performance implications of administering CBTs. Currently, there is a paucity of research using CBTs to examine working memory (WM)…

Fukuzawa, Sherry; deBraga, Michael – Journal of Curriculum and Teaching, 2019
Graded Response Method (GRM) is an alternative to multiple-choice testing where students rank options according to their relevance to the question. GRM requires discrimination and inference between statements and is a cost-effective critical thinking assessment in large courses where open-ended answers are not feasible. This study examined…

El Rassi, Mary Ann Barbour – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2019
It has long been debated whether the Open-Book-Open-Web exam was useful and efficient as the traditional closed book exams. Some scholars and practitioners have doubted the efficiency and the possibility of cheating in the OBOW as it is not directly monitored. This paper tends to investigate the effectiveness of OBOW exams by comparing them with…

Muniroglu, S.; Subak, E. – Journal of Education and Training Studies, 2018
The football referees perform many actions as jogging, running, sprinting, side steps and backward steps during a football match. Further, the football referees change match activities every 5-6 seconds. Many tests are being conducted to determine the physical levels and competences of football referees like 50 m running, 200 m running, 12 minutes…

Kiat, John Emmanuel; Ong, Ai Rene; Ganesan, Asha – Educational Psychology, 2018
Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) play a key role in standardised testing and in-class assessment. Research into the influence of within-item response order on MCQ characteristics has been mixed. While some researchers have shown preferential selection of response options presented earlier in the answer list, others have failed to replicate these…

Tao, Wei; Cao, Yi – Applied Measurement in Education, 2016
Current procedures for equating number-correct scores using traditional item response theory (IRT) methods assume local independence. However, when tests are constructed using testlets, one concern is the violation of the local item independence assumption. The testlet response theory (TRT) model is one way to accommodate local item dependence.…

Zhang, Yuan; Shah, Rajat; Chi, Min – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2016
In this work we tackled the task of Automatic Short Answer Grading (ASAG). While conventional ASAG research makes prediction mainly based on student answers referred as Answer-based, we leveraged the information about questions and student models into consideration. More specifically, we explore the Answer-based, Question, and Student models…

Agus, Mirian; Peró-Cebollero, Maribel; Guàrdia-Olmos, Joan; Portoghese, Igor; Mascia, Maria Lidia; Penna, Maria Pietronilla – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
This paper reports some experiments on probabilistic reasoning designed to investigate the impact of the probabilistic problem presentation format (verbal-numerical and graphical-pictorial) on subjects' confidence in the correctness of their performance, other than the calibration between confidence and accuracy. To understand the potential effect…

DiStefano, Christine; Barth, Steven G.; Greer, Fred – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2019
This study investigated the effect of item position on descriptive statistics, psychometric information, and factor structure of the Pediatric Symptoms Checklist 17-item social-emotional screening instrument (PSC-17). The goal was to determine whether item position, either grouped by factor or mixed across constructs, produced similar results.…
