Lindner, Christoph; Nagy, Gabriel; Retelsdorf, Jan – Social Psychology of Education: An International Journal, 2018
In the present research, we investigated the relation between changes in students' state self-control capacity and their motivational test-taking effort over the course of an achievement test. Thereby, we considered trait self-control as a major predictor of achievement-related behavior as a covariate. N = 1840 apprentices repeatedly rated their…

This article examines the test-taking strategies of high- and low-scoring Chinese-speaking participants when they answer English multiple-choice reading comprehension questions. Thirty-two participants took a TOEIC reading test, provided think-aloud protocols, and joined a post-task interview. The data come primarily from qualitative analysis and…

Kiat, John Emmanuel; Ong, Ai Rene; Ganesan, Asha – Educational Psychology, 2018
Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) play a key role in standardised testing and in-class assessment. Research into the influence of within-item response order on MCQ characteristics has been mixed. While some researchers have shown preferential selection of response options presented earlier in the answer list, others have failed to replicate these…

Elliott, Stephen N.; Kurz, Alexander; Yel, Nedim – Journal of Special Education, 2019
State accountability systems assume standards based instruction and test content are highly aligned and opportunities to learn the content exist equally for all students. This alignment between content taught and tested is important to understand achievement, yet it is rarely examined. Teachers from Grades 3 to 8 participated along with students…

Jones, Teresa; Riggs, Amanda; Kuo, Nai-Cheng – Current Issues in Middle Level Education, 2019
Teachers and school counselors have the responsibility not only to build a positive school climate in which students want to perform and stretch themselves academically and socially, but also to create an environment in which students know that their teachers and school counselors are aware of their needs, anxiety, and other factors preventing…

Castro, Connie J.; Viezel, Kathleen; Dumont, Ron; Guiney, Meaghan – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2019
This study examined recent technological developments in cognitive assessment and how these developments impact children's test behavior. The study consisted of two groups: one tested with an iPad and another tested with the standard paper and pencil format of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-IV). Independent groups t tests…

Toker, Deniz – TESL-EJ, 2019
The central purpose of this paper is to examine validity problems arising from the multiple-choice items and technical passages in the Test of English as a Foreign Language Internet-based Test (TOEFL iBT) reading section, primarily concentrating on construct-irrelevant variance (Messick, 1989). My personal TOEFL iBT experience, along with my…

Fukuzawa, Sherry; deBraga, Michael – Journal of Curriculum and Teaching, 2019
Graded Response Method (GRM) is an alternative to multiple-choice testing where students rank options according to their relevance to the question. GRM requires discrimination and inference between statements and is a cost-effective critical thinking assessment in large courses where open-ended answers are not feasible. This study examined…

Davis, Doris Bitler – College Teaching, 2017
Postsecondary education has undergone dramatic changes in the past 30 years or so. When I began teaching at the college level in the mid-1980s I went to class clutching my scribbled notes and a piece of chalk. If I scheduled it well in advance, a few times each semester I could have someone wheel in an overhead or film projector. Students typed…

Steinkamp, Susan Christa – ProQuest LLC, 2017
For test scores that rely on the accurate estimation of ability via an IRT model, their use and interpretation is dependent upon the assumption that the IRT model fits the data. Examinees who do not put forth full effort in answering test questions, have prior knowledge of test content, or do not approach a test with the intent of answering…

The purpose of this study was to determine if reading a standardized tests aloud is an effective accommodation to address impairment associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as demonstrated by a differential boost to those with ADHD relative to same aged typically developing peers and if the size of the differential boost…

Cromley, Jennifer G.; Dai, Ting; Fechter, Tia; Van Boekel, Martin; Nelson, Frank E.; Dane, Aygul – Grantee Submission, 2019
Reasoning skills have been clearly related to achievement in introductory undergraduate biology, a course with a high failure rate that may contribute to dropout from undergraduate STEM majors. Existing measures are focused on the experimental method, such as generating hypotheses, choosing a research method, how to control variables other than…

Vekaria, Pooja C.; Peverly, Stephen T. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2018
The primary purpose of this investigation was to determine if there were differences in note-taking and test-taking in students with and without ADHD, and if there were, to examine the cognitive variables that might explain them. Participants included 22 postsecondary students with self-reported ADHD and 50 postsecondary student controls. Students…
