Alkis Küçükaydin, Mensure; Akkanat, Çigdem – Problems of Education in the 21st Century, 2022
Computational thinking is recognized as a vital skill related to problem-solving in technological and non-technological fields. The existence of different sub-domains related to this skill has been pointed out. Therefore, there is a need for tools that measure these different sub-domains. Because of its structure that includes different skills,…

Güntay Tasci – Science Insights Education Frontiers, 2024
Developing tools to identify students' misconceptions about basic biology concepts is necessary. Therefore, a two-tier diagnostic test was developed to determine such misconceptions in primary school (3rd-4th Grade) students. The test content includes two-tiered multiple-choice questions addressing common misconceptions found in the literature on…

Precision of Single-Skill Math CBM Time-Series Data: The Effect of Probe Stratification and Set Size
Solomon, Benjamin G.; Payne, Lexy L.; Campana, Kayla V.; Marr, Erin A.; Battista, Carmela; Silva, Alex; Dawes, Jillian M. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2020
Comparatively little research exists on single-skill math (SSM) curriculum-based measurements (CBMs) for the purpose of monitoring growth, as may be done in practice or when monitoring intervention effectiveness within group or single-case research. Therefore, we examined a common variant of SSM-CBM: 1 digit × 1 digit multiplication. Reflecting…

Albano, Anthony D.; McConnell, Scott R.; Lease, Erin M.; Cai, Liuhan – Grantee Submission, 2020
Research has shown that the context of practice tasks can have a significant impact on learning, with long-term retention and transfer improving when tasks of different types are mixed by interleaving (abcabcabc) compared with grouping together in blocks (aaabbbccc). This study examines the influence of context via interleaving from a psychometric…

Chen, Yi-Jui I.; Chen, Yi-Hsin; Anthony, Jason L.; Erazo, Noé A. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2022
The Computer-based Orthographic Processing Assessment (COPA) is a newly developed assessment to measure orthographic processing skills, including rapid perception, access, differentiation, correction, and arrangement. In this study, cognitive diagnostic models were used to test if the dimensionality of the COPA conforms to theoretical expectation,…

Lopez-Pedersen, Anita; Mononen, Riikka; Korhonen, Johan; Aunio, Pirjo; Melby-Lervåg, Monica – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2021
This study investigated the psychometric properties of the Early Numeracy Screener. The Early Numeracy Screener is a teacher-administered, paper-and-pencil test measuring counting skills, numerical relational skills, and basic arithmetic skills. Three hundred and sixty-six first graders took the Early Numeracy Screener at the beginning of the…

Albudoor, Nahar; Peña, Elizabeth D. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The differential diagnosis of developmental language disorder (DLD) in bilingual children represents a unique challenge due to their distributed language exposure and knowledge. The current evidence indicates that dual-language testing yields the most accurate classification of DLD among bilinguals, but there are limited personnel and…

This study investigates consistent and inconsistent respondents to mixed-worded questionnaire scales in large-scale assessments. Mixed-worded scales contain both positively and negatively worded items and are universally applied in different survey and content areas. Due to the changing wording, these scales require a more careful reading and…
