Ayfer Sayin; Mark Gierl – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2024
The purpose of this study is to introduce and evaluate a method for generating reading comprehension items using template-based automatic item generation. To begin, we describe a new model for generating reading comprehension items called the text analysis cognitive model assessing inferential skills across different reading passages. Next, the…

Heather M. Buzick; Mikyung Kim Wolf; Laura Ballard – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2024
English language proficiency (ELP) assessment scores are used by states to make high-stakes decisions related to linguistic support in instruction and assessment for English learner (EL) students and for EL student reclassification. Changes to both academic content standards and ELP academic standards within the last decade have resulted in…

Ji, Xuejun Ryan; Wu, Amery D. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2023
The Cross-Classified Mixed Effects Model (CCMEM) has been demonstrated to be a flexible framework for evaluating reliability by measurement specialists. Reliability can be estimated based on the variance components of the test scores. Built upon their accomplishment, this study extends the CCMEM to be used for evaluating validity evidence.…

Van Norman, Ethan R. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2023
Sophisticated analytic strategies have been proposed as viable methods to improve the quantification of student improvement and to assist educators in making treatment decisions. The performance of three categories of latent growth modeling techniques (linear, quadratic, and dual change) to capture growth in oral reading fluency in response to a…

Schneider, M. Christina; Agrimson, Jared; Veazey, Mary – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2022
This paper presents results of a score interpretation study for a computer adaptive mathematics assessment. The study purpose was to test the efficacy of item developers' alignment of items to Range Achievement-Level Descriptors (RALDs; Egan et al.) against the empirical achievement-level alignment of items to investigate the use of RALDs as the…

Yuan, Lu; Liu, Yanlou; Chen, Ping; Xin, Tao – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2022
Learning progressions can reflect students' continuous in-depth thinking development paths, and their establishment is an iterative process from the construction of hypothetical learning progressions to the verification of that hypotheses. Considering the limitations of the existing verification method of learning progressions based on a rule…

Savi, Alexander O.; Cornelisz, Ilja; Sjerps, Matthias J.; Greup, Steffen L.; Bres, Chris M.; van Klaveren, Chris – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2021
The quality assurance and evaluation of primary schools requires early risk detection. This is a daunting task, not only because risks are typically rare and their origins complex, but also because governing institutions have limited resources and capacity and desire efficiency and proportionality. Many countries, including most Organisation for…

Polikoff, Morgan S.; Gasparian, Hovanes; Korn, Shira; Gamboa, Martin; Porter, Andrew C.; Smith, Toni; Garet, Michael S. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2020
As the standards movement continues into its third decade, there remains a need for alignment methodologies that can be broadly applied to study instruction and policy. This article reports on a series of development efforts meant to revise the Surveys of Enacted Curriculum (SEC) surveys and methods to study the implementation of new college- and…

Rios, Joseph A.; Ihlenfeldt, Samuel D.; Chavez, Carlos – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2020
The objectives of this two-part study were to: (a) investigate English learner (EL) accommodation practices on state accountability assessments of reading/English language arts and mathematics in grades 3-8, and (b) conduct a meta-analysis of EL accommodation effectiveness on improving test performance. Across all distinct testing programs, we…

West, Stephen G.; Hughes, Jan N.; Kim, Han Joe; Bauer, Shelby S. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2019
The Motivation for Educational Attainment (MEA) questionnaire, developed to assess facets related to early adolescents' motivation to complete high school, has a bifactor structure with a large general factor and three smaller orthogonal specific factors (teacher expectations, peer aspirations, value of education). This prospective validity study…

Kosh, Audra E.; Greene, Jeffrey A.; Murphy, P. Karen; Burdick, Hal; Firetto, Carla M.; Elmore, Jeff – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2018
We explored the feasibility of using automated scoring to assess upper-elementary students' reading ability through analysis of transcripts of students' small-group discussions about texts. Participants included 35 fourth-grade students across two classrooms that engaged in a literacy intervention called Quality Talk. During the course of one…
