Daniels, Lia M.; Goegan, Lauren D.; Radil, Amanda I.; Frohlich, Jona R. – Journal of Experimental Education, 2020
Preservice teachers can be considered simultaneously students and teachers and therefore likely have both academic and professional goals. However, once in a professional program, predicting professional outcomes becomes somewhat more important than academic ones. This distinction may have implications for the selection of measurement tools used…

Schreurs, Sanne; Cleutjens, Kitty; Collares, Carlos F.; Cleland, Jennifer; oude Egbrink, Mirjam G. A. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2020
Medical school selection is currently in the paradoxical situation in which selection tools may predict study outcomes, but which constructs are actually doing the predicting is unknown (the 'black box of selection'). Therefore, our research focused on those constructs, answering the question: do the internal structures of the tests in an…

The literature of empirical studies on the concordance-based cloze test (ConCloze) is far and few between. This is despite the fact that it has a potential for item writing without the aid of native speakers and for making use of corpus-based technology in task design. This article explores the test-taking processes and strategies of a ConCloze…
