Validating the Interpretations and Uses of Test ScoresJournal of Educational Measurement - Tập 50 Số 1 - Trang 1-73 - 2013
Michael T. Kane
To validate an interpretation or use of test scores is to evaluate the
plausibility of the claims based on the scores. An argument‐based approach to
validation suggests that the claims based on the test scores be outlined as an
argument that specifies the inferences and supporting assumptions needed to get
from test responses to score‐based interpretations and uses. Validation then can
be thought ... hiện toàn bộ
Modeling Basic Writing Processes From Keystroke LogsJournal of Educational Measurement - Tập 55 Số 2 - Trang 194-216 - 2018
Hongwen Guo, Paul Deane, Peter W. van Rijn, Mo Zhang, Randy Elliot Bennett
AbstractThe goal of this study is to model pauses extracted from writing
keystroke logs as a way of characterizing the processes students use in essay
composition. Low‐level timing data were modeled, the interkey interval and its
subtype, the intraword duration, thought to reflect processes associated with
keyboarding skills and composition fluency. Heavy‐tailed probability
distributions (lognorma... hiện toàn bộ
Identifying the Causes of DIF in Translated Verbal ItemsJournal of Educational Measurement - Tập 36 Số 3 - Trang 185-198 - 1999
Avi Allalouf, Ronald K. Hambleton, Stephen G. Sireci
Translated tests are being used increasingly for assessing the knowledge and
skills of individuals who speak different languages. There is little research
exploring why translated items sometimes function differently across languages.
If the sources of differential item functioning (DIF) across languages could be
predicted, it could have important implications on test development, scoring and
equa... hiện toàn bộ
A Mixture Model Analysis of Differential Item FunctioningJournal of Educational Measurement - Tập 42 Số 2 - Trang 133-148 - 2005
Allan S. Cohen, Daniel M. Bolt
Once a differential item functioning (DIF) item has been identified, little is
known about the examinees for whom the item functions differentially. This is
because DIF focuses on manifest group characteristics that are associated with
it, but do not explain why examinees respond differentially to items. We first
analyze item response patterns for gender DIF and then illustrate, through the
use of... hiện toàn bộ
