An Application of Text Embeddings to Support Alignment of Educational Content Standards
Reese Butterfuss1; Harold Doran1
Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, v44 n1 p73-83 2025
Large language models are increasingly used in educational and psychological measurement activities. Their rapidly evolving sophistication and ability to detect language semantics make them viable tools to supplement subject matter experts and their reviews of large amounts of text statements, such as educational content standards. This paper presents an application of text embeddings to find relationships between different sets of educational content standards in a content mapping process. Content mapping is routinely used by state education agencies and is often a requirement of the United States Department of Education peer review process. We discuss the educational measurement problem, propose a formal methodology, demonstrate an application of our proposed approach, and provide measures of its accuracy and potential to support real-world activities.
