Ossai, Moses Chukwugi; Ethe, Nathaniel; Edougha, Dennis E. – Education Quarterly Reviews, 2020
The research focused on development, validation and standardization of a diagnostic instrument called Tertiary Examination Behaviour Inventory (TEBI) for determining the tendency of students in tertiary institutions to participate in academic cheating. Anchored on the Modified Theory of Planned Behaviour (MTPB) and Item Response Theory (IRT), the…

Meyer, J. Patrick; Zhu, Shi – Research & Practice in Assessment, 2013
Massive open online courses (MOOCs) are playing an increasingly important role in higher education around the world, but despite their popularity, the measurement of student learning in these courses is hampered by cheating and other problems that lead to unfair evaluation of student learning. In this paper, we describe a framework for maintaining…

Detection of Answer Copying Based on the Structure of a High-Stakes Test
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Belov, Dmitry I. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 2011
This article presents the Variable Match Index (VM-Index), a new statistic for detecting answer copying. The power of the VM-Index relies on two-dimensional conditioning as well as the structure of the test. The asymptotic distribution of the VM-Index is analyzed by reduction to Poisson trials. A computational study comparing the VM-Index with the…

Randomized Item Response Theory Models
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Fox, Jean-Paul – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2005
The randomized response (RR) technique is often used to obtain answers on sensitive questions. A new method is developed to measure latent variables using the RR technique because direct questioning leads to biased results. Within the RR technique is the probability of the true response modeled by an item response theory (IRT) model. The RR…

Stahl, John; Bergstrom, Betty; Gershon, Richard – Journal of Applied Measurement, 2000
Developed a computerized adaptive language proficiency test for a community college in Quebec, Canada and obtained item response theory calibrations on the items from 700 to 800 administrations. Describes projected efforts to detect instances in which "cheating low" (answering incorrectly deliberately) occurs. (SLD)
