Han, Suhwa; Kang, Hyeon-Ah – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2023
The study presents multivariate sequential monitoring procedures for examining test-taking behaviors online. The procedures monitor examinee's responses and response times and signal aberrancy as soon as significant change is identifieddetected in the test-taking behavior. The study in particular proposes three schemes to track different…

Karoline A. Sachse; Sebastian Weirich; Nicole Mahler; Camilla Rjosk – International Journal of Testing, 2024
In order to ensure content validity by covering a broad range of content domains, the testing times of some educational large-scale assessments last up to a total of two hours or more. Performance decline over the course of taking the test has been extensively documented in the literature. It can occur due to increases in the numbers of: (a)…

Semere Kiros Bitew; Amir Hadifar; Lucas Sterckx; Johannes Deleu; Chris Develder; Thomas Demeester – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2024
Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) are widely used in digital learning systems, as they allow for automating the assessment process. However, owing to the increased digital literacy of students and the advent of social media platforms, MCQ tests are widely shared online, and teachers are continuously challenged to create new questions, which is an…

Yavuz Akbulut – European Journal of Education, 2024
The testing effect refers to the gains in learning and retention that result from taking practice tests before the final test. Understanding the conditions under which practice tests improve learning is crucial, so four experiments were conducted with a total of 438 undergraduate students in Turkey. In the first study, students who took graded…

Karen Singer-Freeman – Assessment Update, 2024
A common feature of many assessment plans is the use of multiple-choice questions. Although there are criticisms of multiple-choice questions, this assessment format is here to stay--multiple-choice questions are effective means of evaluation in large classes, central to many licensing and entry exams, used in most adaptive learning platforms, and…

Andrew S. Cale; Leslie A. Hoffman; Margaret A. McNulty – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2024
Due to the rigor and pace of undergraduate medical anatomy courses, it is not uncommon for students to struggle and fail initially. However, repetition of coursework places an additional burden on the student, instructor, and institution. The purpose of this study was to compare the exam preparation strategies of repeating and non-repeating…

Junhuan Wei; Liufen Luo; Yan Cai; Dongbo Tu – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2024
Response times (RTs) facilitate the quantification of underlying cognitive processes in problem-solving behavior. To provide more comprehensive diagnostic feedback on strategy selection and attribute profiles with multistrategy cognitive diagnosis model (CDM) and utilize additional information for item RTs, this study develops a multistrategy…

Lauritz Schewior; Marlit Annalena Lindner – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
Studies have indicated that pictures in test items can impact item-solving performance, information processing (e.g., time on task) and metacognition as well as test-taking affect and motivation. The present review aims to better organize the existing and somewhat scattered research on multimedia effects in testing and problem solving while…

Jenifer, Jalisha B.; Levine, Susan C.; Beilock, Sian L. – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2023
Students who experience mathematics anxiety have long been suggested to engage in avoidance behaviors that negatively impact their mathematics performance. However, little is known about how these avoidance behaviors manifest for highly anxious students within the context of a mathematics course. Since the use of effortful study strategies has…

Thomas, Jay – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2022
A model of cognition and a construct, such as a concept map (Wilson, 2009), is critical in designing assessments of that construct. The Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (KSAs) in the construct must be put to use in order to assess what test takers know and can do (National Research Council, 2001). In order to validate a construct map for graphic…

Zhao, Anran; Brown, Gavin T. L.; Meissel, Kane – Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice, 2022
Students' test-taking motivation confounds test performance. This study examines students' conceptions of tests and test-taking motivation when different test consequences are at play. In a between-subjects experimental design, a sample of 479 New Zealand senior secondary school students were randomly assigned to one of the three vignette…

Shuxin Di – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Taking tests can trigger multiple emotions. To regulate emotions we might experience during test-taking situations, strategies such as reappraisal and suppression are often used. This study aimed to investigate if college students' cultural values affect their emotion regulation in test-taking situations. The sample included 298 college students.…

Carolyn Clarke – in education, 2024
This ethnographic case study, situated in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, examined the effects of full-scale provincial testing on families, its influences on homework, and familial accountability for teaching and learning. Data were drawn from family interviews, as well as letters and documents regarding homework. Teachers sensed a significant…

Shaohang Liu; Wenbo Zhao; David R. Shanks; Xiao Hu; Liang Luo; Chunliang Yang – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
Practice testing (i.e., practice retrieval) has been established as an effective learning strategy. Uncovering potential factors influencing self-testing usage is a prerequisite to promote its practical use. The present study reports five experiments exploring whether test anxiety (TA) and test stake (1) affect self-testing usage (Experiments 1-5)…

Understanding test-taking strategies (TTSs) and the variables that influence TTSs is crucial to understanding what reading comprehension tests measure. We examined how passage and student characteristics were associated with TTSs and their impact on response accuracy. Third (n = 78), fifth (n = 86), and eighth (n = 86) graders read and answered…
