Broley, Laura; Buteau, Chantal; Sardella, Jessica – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2023
The importance of computational thinking skills in mathematics has been recognized in educational research for a long time. More recently, this recognition has materialized in formal international recommendations (e.g., by PISA's 2022 Mathematics Framework) and in national or provincial curricular reforms (e.g., in France, Sweden, and Canada) that…

Leighton, Jacqueline P.; Heffernan, Colleen; Cor, M. Kenneth; Gokiert, Rebecca J.; Cui, Ying – Applied Measurement in Education, 2011
The "Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing" indicate that test instructions, and by extension item objectives, presented to examinees should be sufficiently clear and detailed to help ensure that they respond as developers intend them to respond (Standard 3.20; AERA, APA, & NCME, 1999). The present study investigates…
