Optimizing Large‐Scale Mathematical Assessments: Leveraging Hierarchical Attribute Structures and Diagnostic Classification Models for Enhanced Student Diagnostics

open access: yesEducational Measurement: Issues and Practice, Volume 45, Issue 2, Summer 2026.
Abstract Diagnostic classification models (DCMs) assess students’ mastery of cognitive attributes to provide personalized ability profiles. Retrofitting DCMs to large‐scale mathematics assessments usually relies on inferred Q‐matrices, which can reduce accuracy and diagnostic value.

Sense of Belonging in Science: A Focus on the Construct

open access: yesJournal of Educational Measurement, Volume 63, Issue 2, Summer 2026.
Abstract The importance of the construct to the fields of measurement and cognitive science cannot be overstated. Without an understanding of the construct, including clarity and scope of the substantive and structural aspects, one cannot ensure valid use and interpretation of a constructed measure.

A Topic Testlet Model for Calibrating Testlet Constructed Responses

open access: yesJournal of Educational Measurement, Volume 63, Issue 1, Spring 2026.
Abstract Constructed responses (CRs) within testlets are widely used to assess complex skills but can pose calibration challenges due to local item dependence. A few current testlet models incorporate testlet‐specific effects to address local dependence but struggle with interpreting these effects and may not fully capture the complexities of CR items ...

Generalizability Theory for Randomly Parallel Testing

open access: yesJournal of Educational Measurement, Volume 63, Issue 1, Spring 2026.
Abstract Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have brought significant changes to testing practices, including the emergence of randomly parallel testing (RPT), in which examinees receive different but psychometrically similar sets of items generated from templates or AI‐based systems.

What about Tests Make Students Switch Off? Item‐Level Predictors of Disengagement on the PISA

open access: yesJournal of Educational Measurement, Volume 63, Issue 1, Spring 2026.
Abstract International assessments, such as the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), play a critical role in monitoring educational progress, evaluating teaching effectiveness, and supporting institutional accountability. The validity of these interpretations rests on the assumption that students exert sufficient effort and perform to
