Marjolein Muskens; Willem E. Frankenhuis; Lex Borghans – npj Science of Learning, 2024
In many countries, standardized math tests are important for achieving academic success. Here, we examine whether content of items, the story that explains a mathematical question, biases performance of low-SES students. In a large-scale cohort study of Trends in International Mathematics and Science Studies (TIMSS)--including data from 58…

Teo Pei Pei; Berinderjeet Kaur – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2024
At the end of Primary 6, students in Singapore schools take a national examination, the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE). Society at large view the PSLE as a highstakes examination. In addition to out-of-class work assigned by mathematics teachers for students to prepare for the PSLE mathematics, parents may also draw on out-ofschool…

Wellberg, Sarah – Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice, 2023
Classroom assessment research in the United States has shifted away from the examination of teacher-made tests, but such tests are still widely used and have an enormous impact on students' educational experiences. Given the major shifts in educational policy in the United States, including the widespread adoption of the Common Core State…

Schaefer, Stephanie; Moore-Russo, Deborah – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
As standards documents have been introduced over the past 20 years, many states have seen an evolution in both the standards and related high stakes exams. For many teachers across the U.S., the rollout of standards and exams has not been an experience that builds trust in state education leaders. In this study, we consider three major changes in…

Wu, Haiyan; Liang, Xinya; Yürekli, Hülya; Becker, Betsy Jane; Paek, Insu; Binici, Salih – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2020
The demand for diagnostic feedback has triggered extensive research on cognitive diagnostic models (CDMs), such as the deterministic input, noisy output "and" gate (DINA) model. This study explored two Q-matrix specifications with the DINA model in a statewide large-scale mathematics assessment. The first Q-matrix was developed based on…

Analyzing the National College Entrance Mathematics Examinations in China in 1952-1965 and 1977-1984
Yihua Shen – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This research examined the Chinese National College Entrance Examination (NCEE) in mathematics before and after the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, specifically covering the periods 1952-1965 and 1977-1984. The central focus was on the organization, structure, and content of the examinations, as well as their influence on and interaction…

Yiyun Fan; Kristin L. K. Koskey; Dara Bright; Gabriel Matney; Jonathan Bostic; Toni A. May; Gregory E. Stone – Educational Assessment, 2024
Advancement of testing of mathematical problem-solving skills calls for open-ended, realistic tasks particularly susceptible to bias, compromising the score validity and fairness of tests. Informed by universal design principles, this study framed 360 prototype items developed for the "Problem-solving Measures Grades 6-8 Computer Adaptive…

Atalmis, Erkan Hasan; Kingston, Neal Martin – SAGE Open, 2018
This study explored the impact of homogeneity of answer choices on item difficulty and discrimination. Twenty-two matched pairs of elementary and secondary mathematics items were administered to randomly equivalent samples of students. Each item pair comparison was treated as a separate study with the set of effect sizes analyzed using…

Gasteiger, Hedwig; Bruns, Julia; Benz, Christiane; Brunner, Esther; Sprenger, Priska – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
Measurement instruments of early childhood teachers' mathematical pedagogical content knowledge (MPCK) have to consider the special characteristics of early childhood teaching. Early childhood teaching includes some planned activities but in contrast to learning in school, it is often motivated and generated by situations which unfold…

Confrey, Jere; Shah, Meetal; Persson, Jennifer; Ciliano, Dagmara – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2019
This paper reports on a design-based implementation study of the use of a diagnostic classroom assessment tool framed on learning trajectories (LTs) for middle grades mathematics, where teachers and students are provided immediate data on students' progress along LTs. The study answers the question: "How can one characterize the challenges…

New Meridian Corporation, 2020
New Meridian Corporation has developed the "Quality Testing Standards and Criteria for Comparability Claims" (QTS) to provide guidance to states that are interested in including New Meridian content and would like to either keep reporting scores on the New Meridian Scale or use the New Meridian performance levels; that is, the state…

Shanmugam, S. Kanageswari Suppiah; Veloo, Arsaythamby; Md-Ali, Ruzlan – Diaspora, Indigenous, and Minority Education, 2021
This study examined the validity of trilingual test as a test accommodation to assess the Indigenous pupils' mathematical performance in Malaysia. The study employed two tests; BM-only test with items written in Malay language (BM) and trilingual test, which had items written in BM and English, and oral audio recording in their native Temiar…

Haladyna, Thomas M. – IDEA Center, Inc., 2018
Writing multiple-choice test items to measure student learning in higher education is a challenge. Based on extensive scholarly research and experience, the author describes various item formats, offers guidelines for creating these items, and provides many examples of both good and bad test items. He also suggests some shortcuts for developing…

Karimova, Könül; Csapó, Beno – Journal of Advanced Academics, 2020
The internal/external (I/E) frame of reference entails high, positive association of mathematics and verbal achievements with matching academic self-concepts but negative or near-zero correlation with their nonmatching self-concepts. This study aimed to extend the traditional I/E model by contrasting the mathematics domain with two foreign…
