Kraft, Matthew A. – Educational Researcher, 2023
It is a healthy exercise to debate the merits of using effect-size benchmarks to interpret research findings. However, these debates obscure a more central insight that emerges from empirical distributions of effect-size estimates in the literature: Efforts to improve education often fail to move the needle. I find that 36% of effect sizes from…

Henninger, Mirka; Debelak, Rudolf; Strobl, Carolin – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2023
To detect differential item functioning (DIF), Rasch trees search for optimal split-points in covariates and identify subgroups of respondents in a data-driven way. To determine whether and in which covariate a split should be performed, Rasch trees use statistical significance tests. Consequently, Rasch trees are more likely to label small DIF…

Goetz, Thomas; Bieleke, Maik; Yanagida, Takuya; Krannich, Maike; Roos, Anna-Lena; Frenzel, Anne C.; Lipnevich, Anastasiya A.; Pekrun, Reinhard – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
The emotion of boredom has sparked considerable interest in research on teaching and learning, but boredom during tests and exams has not yet been examined. Based on the control-value theory of achievement emotions, we hypothesized that students may experience significant levels of boredom during testing ("test boredom"; Hypothesis 1)…

Britt Hadar; Maayan Katzir; Sephi Pumpian; Tzur Karelitz; Nira Liberman – npj Science of Learning, 2023
Performance on standardized academic aptitude tests (AAT) can determine important life outcomes. However, it is not clear whether and which aspects of the content of test questions affect performance. We examined the effect of psychological distance embedded in test questions. In Study 1 (N = 41,209), we classified the content of existing AAT…

Mark Wilson – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2024
This article introduces a new framework for articulating how educational assessments can be related to teacher uses in the classroom. It articulates three levels of assessment: macro (use of standardized tests), meso (externally developed items), and micro (on-the-fly in the classroom). The first level is the usual context for educational…

The present study was conducted to determine how implementing computational thinking (via a proxy in AP Computer Science Principles) into a school's curriculum impacted student proficiency rates on the New York State Geometry Regents. Recent research has suggested that computational thinking is a skill that transcends specific content areas and…

W. Christopher Brandt; Nathan Dadey; Carla Evans – National Center for the Improvement of Educational Assessment, 2024
Recent years have produced a surge in interest in improving state assessment programs. Many states are designing new assessments. Much of this innovation is aimed at addressing longstanding areas of unhappiness with typical domain-sampled, end-of-year state assessments: States want to streamline assessment activities, enhance the instructional…
