Cassiani-Miranda, Carlos Arturo; Pedrozo-Pupo, John Carlos; Campo-Arias, Adalberto – International Journal of Testing, 2023
The study aimed to adapt and evaluate a scale to measure COVID-19-CED in COVID-19 survivors. A sample of 330 COVID-19 survivors filled out the COVID-19 Perceived Discrimination Scale (C-19-PDS). C-19-PDS was adapted from the Tuberculosis Perceived Discrimination Scale (11 items). Confirmatory factor analysis showed poor goodness-of-fit indicators.…

Shin, Jinnie; Gierl, Mark J. – International Journal of Testing, 2022
Over the last five years, tremendous strides have been made in advancing the AIG methodology required to produce items in diverse content areas. However, the one content area where enormous problems remain unsolved is language arts, generally, and reading comprehension, more specifically. While reading comprehension test items can be created using…

van Wyk, Mariza; Lipinska, Gosia; Henry, Michelle; Phillips, Tyler K.; van der Walt, P. Etienne – International Journal of Testing, 2022
Resilience comprises various neurobiological, developmental, and psychosocial components. However, existing measures lack certain critical components, while having limited utility in low-to-middle-income settings. We aimed to develop a reliable and valid measure of resilience encompassing a broad range of components and that can be used across…

Hameed, Hajara Abdul; Cheruvalath, Reena – International Journal of Testing, 2021
Metacognitive skills help to control and regulate negative thoughts, emotions, beliefs and sad memories. The objective of the study was to develop and validate an inventory-Metacognitive Skills Inventory (MSI) to assess the variance in adopting metacognitive strategies between those who have depressive symptoms and those who have not. Two studies…

Finkelman, Matthew D.; de la Torre, Jimmy; Karp, Jeremy A. – International Journal of Testing, 2020
Cognitive diagnosis models (CDMs) have been studied as a means of providing detailed diagnostic information about the skills that have been mastered, and the skills that have not, by examinees. Prior research has examined the use of automated test assembly (ATA) alongside CDMs; however, no previous study has investigated how to perform ATA when a…

Sabatini, John; O'Reilly, Tenaha; Weeks, Jonathan; Wang, Zuowei – International Journal of Testing, 2020
The construct of reading comprehension has changed significantly in the twenty-first century; however, some test designs have not evolved sufficiently to capture these changes. Specifically, the nature of literacy sources and skills required has changed (wrought primarily by widespread use of digital technologies). Modern theories of comprehension…

Ravand, Hamdollah; Baghaei, Purya – International Journal of Testing, 2020
More than three decades after their introduction, diagnostic classification models (DCM) do not seem to have been implemented in educational systems for the purposes they were devised. Most DCM research is either methodological for model development and refinement or retrofitting to existing nondiagnostic tests and, in the latter case, basically…

Luo, Xiao; Wang, Xinrui – International Journal of Testing, 2019
This study introduced dynamic multistage testing (dy-MST) as an improvement to existing adaptive testing methods. dy-MST combines the advantages of computerized adaptive testing (CAT) and computerized adaptive multistage testing (ca-MST) to create a highly efficient and regulated adaptive testing method. In the test construction phase, multistage…

Oliveri, María Elena; Lawless, René; Mislevy, Robert J. – International Journal of Testing, 2019
Collaborative problem solving (CPS) ranks among the top five most critical skills necessary for college graduates to meet workforce demands (Hart Research Associates, 2015). It is also deemed a critical skill for educational success (Beaver, 2013). It thus deserves more prominence in the suite of courses and subjects assessed in K-16. Such…

International Journal of Testing, 2019
These guidelines describe considerations relevant to the assessment of test takers in or across countries or regions that are linguistically or culturally diverse. The guidelines were developed by a committee of experts to help inform test developers, psychometricians, test users, and test administrators about fairness issues in support of the…

Mikeska, Jamie N.; Howell, Heather; Straub, Carrie – International Journal of Testing, 2019
The demand for assessments of competencies that require complex human interaction is steadily growing as we move toward a focus on twenty-first century skills. As assessment designers aim to address this demand, we argue for the importance of a common language to understand and attend to the key challenges implicated in designing task situations…

Snow, Eric; Rutstein, Daisy; Basu, Satabdi; Bienkowski, Marie; Everson, Howard T. – International Journal of Testing, 2019
Computational thinking is a core skill in computer science that has become a focus of instruction in primary and secondary education worldwide. Since 2010, researchers have leveraged Evidence-Centered Design (ECD) methods to develop measures of students' Computational Thinking (CT) practices. This article describes how ECD was used to develop CT…

Bechard, Sue; Clark, Amy; Swinburne Romine, Russell; Karvonen, Meagan; Kingston, Neal; Erickson, Karen – International Journal of Testing, 2019
Evidence-based approaches to assessment design, development, and administration provide a strong foundation for an assessment's validity argument but can be time consuming, resource intensive, and complex to implement. This article describes an evidence-based approach used for one assessment that addresses these challenges. Evidence-centered…

The second edition of the International Test Commission Guidelines for Translating and Adapting Tests was prepared between 2005 and 2015 to improve upon the first edition, and to respond to advances in testing technology and practices. The 18 guidelines are organized into six categories to facilitate their use: pre-condition (3), test development…

FIPC Linking across Multidimensional Test Forms: Effects of Confounding Difficulty within Dimensions
Kim, Sohee; Cole, Ki Lynn; Mwavita, Mwarumba – International Journal of Testing, 2018
This study investigated the effects of linking potentially multidimensional test forms using the fixed item parameter calibration. Forms had equal or unequal total test difficulty with and without confounding difficulty. The mean square errors and bias of estimated item and ability parameters were compared across the various confounding tests. The…
