The Impact of Operational Scoring Experience and Additional Mentored Training on Raters' Essay Scoring Accuracy
Choi, Ikkyu; Wolfe, Edward W.
Applied Measurement in Education, v33 n3 p210-222 2020
Rater training is essential in ensuring the quality of constructed response scoring. Most of the current knowledge about rater training comes from experimental contexts with an emphasis on short-term effects. Few sources are available for empirical evidence on whether and how raters become more accurate as they gain scoring experiences or what long-term effects training can have. In this study, we addressed this research gap by tracking how the accuracies of new raters change through experience and by examining the impact of an additional training session on their accuracies in scoring calibration and monitoring essays. We found that, on average, raters' accuracy improved with scoring experience and that individual raters differed in their accuracy trajectories. The estimated average effect of the training was an approximately six percent increase in the calibration essay accuracy. On the other hand, we observed a smaller impact on the monitoring essay accuracy. Our follow-up analysis showed that this differential impact of the additional training on the calibration and monitoring essay accuracy could be accounted for by successful gatekeeping through calibration.
