Wendy Castillo; David Gillborn – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2023
'QuantCrit' (Quantitative Critical Race Theory) is a rapidly developing approach that seeks to challenge and improve the use of statistical data in social research by applying the insights of Critical Race Theory. As originally formulated, QuantCrit rests on five principles; 1) the centrality of racism; 2) numbers are not neutral; 3) categories…

Sauder, Derek; DeMars, Christine – Applied Measurement in Education, 2020
We used simulation techniques to assess the item-level and familywise Type I error control and power of an IRT item-fit statistic, the "S-X"[superscript 2]. Previous research indicated that the "S-X"[superscript 2] has good Type I error control and decent power, but no previous research examined familywise Type I error control.…

Kane, Michael T.; Mroch, Andrew A. – ETS Research Report Series, 2020
Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression and orthogonal regression (OR) address different questions and make different assumptions about errors. The OLS regression of Y on X yields predictions of a dependent variable (Y) contingent on an independent variable (X) and minimizes the sum of squared errors of prediction. It assumes that the independent…

Nguyen, Trang Quynh; Stuart, Elizabeth A. – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2020
We address measurement error bias in propensity score (PS) analysis due to covariates that are latent variables. In the setting where latent covariate X is measured via multiple error-prone items W, PS analysis using several proxies for X--the W items themselves, a summary score (mean/sum of the items), or the conventional factor score (i.e.,…

Braun, Robert; Ravn, Tine; Frankus, Elisabeth – Research Ethics, 2020
In this paper we reflect on the looming question of what constitutes expertise in ethics. Based on an empirical program that involved qualitative and quantitative as well as participatory research elements we show that expertise in research ethics and integrity is based on experience in the assessment processes. We then connect traditional…

Xiao, Jiaying; Bulut, Okan – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2020
Large amounts of missing data could distort item parameter estimation and lead to biased ability estimates in educational assessments. Therefore, missing responses should be handled properly before estimating any parameters. In this study, two Monte Carlo simulation studies were conducted to compare the performance of four methods in handling…

Knowles, Ryan T.; Hawkman, Andrea M. – Urban Review: Issues and Ideas in Public Education, 2020
This research article reports on the initial findings of a critical quantitative study, which developed and implemented a series of quantitative scales utilizing conceptualizations of racial fragility and anti-racist teacher self-efficacy scales. The scales were administered through a survey and yielded a usable sample of 4770 teachers in…

Davydov, Youri; Greselin, Francesca – Sociological Methods & Research, 2020
The observed increase in economic inequality, where the major concern is relative to the huge growth of the highest incomes, motivates to revisit classical measures of inequality and to offer new ways to synthesize the variability of the entire income distribution. The idea is to provide policy makers a way to contrast the economic position of the…

Wind, Stefanie A. – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2020
A major challenge in the widespread application of Mokken scale analysis (MSA) to educational performance assessments is the requirement of complete data, where every rater rates every student. In this study, simulated and real data are used to demonstrate a method by which researchers and practitioners can apply MSA to incomplete rating designs.…

Lim, Euijin; Lee, Won-Chan – Applied Measurement in Education, 2020
The purpose of this study is to address the necessity of subscore equating and to evaluate the performance of various equating methods for subtests. Assuming the random groups design and number-correct scoring, this paper analyzed real data and simulated data with four study factors including test dimensionality, subtest length, form difference in…

Piech, Chris; Bumbacher, Engin; Davis, Richard – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2020
One crucial function of a classroom, and a school more generally, is to prepare students for future learning. Students should have the capacity to learn new information and to acquire new skills. This ability to "learn" is a core competency in our rapidly changing world. But how do we measure ability to learn? And how can we measure how…

Cho, April E.; Wang, Chun; Zhang, Xue; Xu, Gongjun – Grantee Submission, 2020
Multidimensional Item Response Theory (MIRT) is widely used in assessment and evaluation of educational and psychological tests. It models the individual response patterns by specifying functional relationship between individuals' multiple latent traits and their responses to test items. One major challenge in parameter estimation in MIRT is that…

Bornn, Luke; Mortensen, Jacob; Ahrensmeier, Daria – Canadian Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2022
This paper presents a novel design for an upper-level undergraduate statistics course structured around data rather than methods. The course is designed around curated datasets to reflect real-world data science practice and engages students in experiential and peer learning using the data science competition platform Kaggle. Peer learning is…

Sørensen, Ole Henning; Bjørner, Jakob; Holtermann, Andreas; Dyreborg, Johnny; Sørli, Jorid Birkelund; Kristiansen, Jesper; Nielsen, Steffen Bohni – Research Evaluation, 2022
Research funders and policymakers increasingly focus on societal benefits of their investments in research. Research institutions thus face increasing pressure to demonstrate their societal impact to prove their legitimacy and worth. To this end, research institutions need reliable, quantitative methods to measure societal impact. This article…

Young, Jamaal; Young, Jemimah – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2022
Our purpose is to proffer QuantCrit methodological approaches to interrogate notions of statistical practice by convention. We present two approaches to meta-analysis and mean effect size calculations for student achievement. The first approach is the conventional approach which applies between-group differences to calculate effect sizes…
