Foster, Colin; Woodhead, Simon; Barton, Craig; Clark-Wilson, Alison – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2022
In this paper, we analyse a large, opportunistic dataset of responses (N = 219,826) to online, diagnostic multiple-choice mathematics questions, provided by 6-16-year-old UK school mathematics students (N = 7302). For each response, students were invited to indicate on a 5-point Likert-type scale how confident they were that their response was…

Planinic, Maja; Boone, William J.; Krsnik, Rudolf; Beilfuss, Meredith L. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2006
Croatian 1st-year and 3rd-year high-school students (N = 170) completed a conceptual physics test. Students were evaluated with regard to two physics topics: Newtonian dynamics and simple DC circuits. Students answered test items and also indicated their confidence in each answer. Rasch analysis facilitated the calculation of three linear…
