Efficiency Analysis of Item Response Theory Kernel Equating for Mixed-Format Tests. [PDF]

open access: yesAppl Psychol Meas, 2023
This study aims to evaluate the performance of Item Response Theory (IRT) kernel equating in the context of mixed-format tests by comparing it to IRT observed score equating and kernel equating with log-linear presmoothing. Comparisons were made through both simulations and real data applications, under both equivalent groups (EG) and non-equivalent ...

Using Biclustering to Detect Cheating in Real Time on Mixed-Format Tests. [PDF]

open access: yesEduc Psychol Meas
We evaluated a real-time biclustering method for detecting cheating on mixed-format assessments that included dichotomous, polytomous, and multi-part items. Biclustering jointly groups examinees and items by identifying subgroups of test takers who exhibit similar response patterns on specific subsets of items.

CONSTRUCTED‐RESPONSE DIF EVALUATIONS FOR MIXED‐FORMAT TESTS [PDF]

open access: yesETS Research Report Series, 2013
ABSTRACTIn this study, differential item functioning (DIF) methods utilizing 14 different matching variables were applied to assess DIF in the constructed‐response (CR) items from 6 forms of 3 mixed‐format tests. Results suggested that the methods might produce distinct patterns of DIF results for different tests and testing programs, in that the DIF ...

The information function of mixed-format test of physics learning outcomes measurement [PDF]

open access: yesAIP Conference Proceedings, 2021
This study investigates the function of item information on mixed-format tests on the measurement of physics learning outcomes. The item information function is an important attribute in the item response theory approach that describes the accuracy of the measures taken.

Test format effects: a componential approach to second language reading

open access: yesLanguage Testing in Asia, 2019
Background This study aims to empirically answer the question of whether the role of sub-reading skills changes depending on the test format (e.g., multiple-choice vs. open-ended reading questions). The test format effect also addresses the issue of test

Barriers to uptake of antenatal maternal screening tests in Senegal

open access: yesSSM: Population Health, 2016
Background: Evidence exists that selective antenatal maternal screening tests contribute to the reduction of maternal morbidity and mortality. However, data are lacking on coverage with the complete set of recommended tests.
