Examining differential item functioning trends for English language learners in a reading test: A meta-analytical approach
Tập 31 Số 1 - Trang 89-109 - 2014

English language learners (ELLs) versus non-ELL students in third and tenth
grades on a large-scale reading assessment. To facilitate the analyses, a
meta-analytic DIF technique was employed. The results revealed that items
requiring knowledge of words and phrases in context favored non-ELLs in grade 3,
whereas items requi...

lexico-grammatical knowledge test and completed a Metacognitive and Cognitive
Strategy Use Questionnaire (MCSUQ) (Zhang, Goh, & Kunnan, 2014). MRM analysis
