Leon J. Gilman; Bo Zhang; Jamie L. Lynch – Social Psychology of Education: An International Journal, 2024
School learning environments play important roles in students' lives. But when do these relationships form?

An Intersectional Approach to Differential Item Functioning: Reflecting Configurations of Inequality
Russell, Michael; Kaplan, Larry – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2021
Differential Item Functioning (DIF) is commonly employed to examine measurement bias of test scores.

Examining potential item bias fails to recognize and capture the intersecting configurations…

Jing Liu; Megan Kuhfeld; Monica Lee – Educational Policy, 2025
Noncognitive constructs such as self-efficacy, social awareness, and academic engagement are widely acknowledged as critical components of human capital, but systematic data collection on such skills in school systems is complicated by conceptual ambiguities, measurement challenges and resource constraints. This study addresses this issue by…

Jensen, Sarah – International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), 2023
In post-structurally informed research, the answer to the widely documented 'achievement gap' among ethnic minorities has been a critique of educational institutions' monocultural discourse and its exclusionary effects, thus highlighting a contingent, "discursive" conception of diversity. However, in this empirical article, 10- to…

Gender gaps in mathematics achievement persist in many contexts and when visible, these gaps are paradoxical. Low-stakes measures of mathematics achievement such as grades and study behaviors favor girls, while gaps tend to reverse on assessments/competitions. We explore whether different impacts of raising performance stakes could be one…
