Kleinert, Corinna; Christoph, Bernhard; Ruland, Michael – Sociological Methods & Research, 2021
Panel attrition is a major problem in long-term panel studies. While the design of the German National Educational Panel Study adult survey--combining biannual competency tests with regular face-to-face interviews--is highly innovative, such a design could raise respondent burden and thus potentially increase panel attrition and nonresponse bias.…

Katherine S. Binder; Scott P. Ardoin; Joshua A. Mellott; Eloise Nimocks; Corrin Moss – Educational Assessment, 2024
Reading comprehension tests involve not only reading passages and answering questions but also making choices such as the test-taking strategy to use, whether to search passages for answers, and where to begin searching. We examined the associations between student characteristics, passage type, test-taking strategies, and students' time searching…

Jennifer Eilts – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Despite evidence that self-regulated learning ability is a strong predictor of academic achievement, effective learning and study strategies remain largely underutilized by students in higher education. In a time of extreme nursing shortage when prelicensure programs are operating at capacity, implications for course failure reach far beyond the…

Rohit Batra; Silvia A. Bunge; Emilio Ferrer – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2022
Studying development processes, as they unfold over time, involves collecting repeated measures from individuals and modeling the changes over time. One methodological challenge in this type of longitudinal data is separating retest effects, due to the repeated assessments, from developmental processes such as maturation or age. In this article,…

Prasad, KDV; Aladini, Alaa; Normurodova, Nozliya Zarilovna; Belton, Barana – Language Testing in Asia, 2023
Many different elements have a significant impact on the effectiveness of both teaching and assessment. The ever-expanding body of research on assessment has provided an overview of several cognitive, social, and emotional aspects that impact the academic accomplishment of learners in either a direct or indirect manner. In spite of the promising…

Tyrone B. Pretorius; P. Paul Heppner; Anita Padmanabhanunni; Serena Ann Isaacs – SAGE Open, 2023
In previous studies, problem solving appraisal has been identified as playing a key role in promoting positive psychological well-being. The Problem Solving Inventory is the most widely used measure of problem solving appraisal and consists of 32 items. The length of the instrument, however, may limit its applicability to large-scale surveys…

Karla L. Sanders – ProQuest LLC, 2023
A nursing program has had difficulty from the years 2015-2022 consistently meeting the national pass rate requirement during students' first attempts taking the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore perceptions of recent traditional and nontraditional nursing…

Sherman, Tyler J.; Harvey, Tanner M.; Royse, Emily A.; Heim, Ashley B.; Smith, Cara F.; Romano, Alicia B.; King, Aspen E.; Lyons, David O.; Holt, Emily A. – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
Formative assessments have been shown to improve student success; however, the format in which these assessments are implemented has not been well researched. In this study, individual Anatomy and Physiology lab sections were administered formative assessments composed of either a projected (i.e. 'shared-display') quiz presentation or a…

Jieun Kim – Reading in a Foreign Language, 2024
High-stakes reading tests significantly influence one's future success, leading many second language learners to engage in intensive test preparation. This study examines nine TOEFL reading preparation lectures from two popular cram schools, or [foreign characters omitted] "hagwons," in Korea, with a total duration of five hours and…

Casandra Koevoets-Beach; Karen Julian; Morgan Balabanoff – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
Two-tiered assessment structures with paired content and confidence items are frequently used within chemistry assessments to stimulate and measure students' metacognition. The confidence judgment is designed to promote students' reflection on their application of content knowledge and can be characterized as calibrated or miscalibrated based on…

Sinharay, Sandip – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2022
Administrative problems such as computer malfunction and power outage occasionally lead to missing item scores and hence to incomplete data on mastery tests such as the AP and U.S. Medical Licensing examinations. Investigators are often interested in estimating the probabilities of passing of the examinees with incomplete data on mastery tests.…

Liu, Yue; Cheng, Ying; Liu, Hongyun – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2020
The responses of non-effortful test-takers may have serious consequences as non-effortful responses can impair model calibration and latent trait inferences. This article introduces a mixture model, using both response accuracy and response time information, to help differentiating non-effortful and effortful individuals, and to improve item…

Chen, Chia-Wen; Andersson, Björn; Zhu, Jinxin – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2023
The certainty of response index (CRI) measures respondents' confidence level when answering an item. In conjunction with the answers to the items, previous studies have used descriptive statistics and arbitrary thresholds to identify student knowledge profiles with the CRIs. Whereas this approach overlooked the measurement error of the observed…

Han, Areum; Krieger, Florian; Borgonovi, Francesca; Greiff, Samuel – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2023
Process data are becoming more and more popular in education research. In the field of computer-based assessments of collaborative problem solving (ColPS), process data have been used to identify students' test-taking strategies while working on the assessment, and such data can be used to complement data collected on accuracy and overall…

Guo, Hongwen; Ercikan, Kadriye – ETS Research Report Series, 2021
In this report, we demonstrate use of differential response time (DRT) methodology, an extension of differential item functioning methodology, for examining differences in how students from different backgrounds engage with assessment tasks. We analyze response time data from a digitally delivered mathematics assessment to examine timing…
