Chung, Gregory K. W. K.; Choi, Kilchan; Baker, Eva L.; Cai, Li – National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST), 2014
A large-scale randomized controlled trial tested the effects of researcher-developed learning games on a transfer measure of fractions knowledge. The measure contained items similar to standardized assessments. Thirty treatment and 29 control classrooms (~1500 students, 9 districts, 26 schools) participated in the study. Students in treatment…

Vendlinski, Terry P.; Delacruz, Girlie C.; Buschang, Rebecca E.; Chung, Gregory K. W. K.; Baker, Eva L. – National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST), 2010
The evaluation of educational interventions requires assessments that consistently (reliably) produce data from which accurate (valid) inferences about the test subjects can be made for some stated purpose. Despite codified definitions of all these terms, there remains vibrant debate about the assessment design process and how measures of…

Delacruz, Girlie C.; Chung, Gregory K. W. K.; Baker, Eva L. – National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST), 2010
This study provides empirical evidence of a highly specific use of games in education--the assessment of the learner. Linear regressions were used to examine the predictive and convergent validity of a math game as assessment of mathematical understanding. Results indicate that prior knowledge significantly predicts game performance. Results also…
