Rater Drift in Constructed Response Scoring via Latent Class Signal Detection Theory and Item Response Theory
The use of constructed response (CR) items or performance tasks to assess test takers' ability has grown tremendously over the past decade. Examples of CR items in psychological and educational measurement range from essays, works of art, and admissions interviews. However, unlike multiple-choice …

On the Use of Covariates in a Latent Class Signal Detection Model, with Applications to Constructed Response Scoring
… introduced as an alternative to traditional item response theory (IRT) methods in the analysis of constructed response data. This class of models can be represented as restricted latent class models and differ from the IRT approach in the way the latent construct is conceptualized. One appeal of …

Examining the Impact of Examinee-Selected Constructed Response Items in the Context of a Hierarchical Rater Signal Detection Model
… examinee-selected items under a modern model for constructed-response scoring. Specifically, data were simulated under the hierarchical rater model with signal detection theory rater components (HRM-SDT; DeCarlo, Kim, and Johnson, 2011) and a variety of examinee-item selection mechanisms were …

The Influence Of Students' Cognitive Style On A Standardized Reading Test Administered In Three Different Formats
… administered as a timed multiple-choice test, a constructed response test, and an un-timed multiple-choice test. Scores on the Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT) were used to classify the students who participated in the study as having field dependent (LOW GEFT), mid-field dependent/independent …

Using latent semantic analysis to detect non-cognitive variables of academic performance
… concept study, 43 writing samples written to a constructed response task are collected and analyzed by a test model specifically designed to evaluate sentiment in a movie review constructed response format. A test model is created using LightSIDE, a software tool for text assessment, to predict …

Finding Relationships Between Multiple-Choice Math Tests and Their Stem-Equivalent Constructed Responses
… testing formats - Multiple-Choice (MC) and Constructed Response (CR). Many studies have been dedicated to finding correlations between item format characteristics with regards to race and gender. Few studies, however, have attempted to explore differences in the performance of English …

Drawing the Analogy: Nature as Idea, Architecture as Response
… exercise is then explored as a similarly constructed response. After assembling a definition of nature based in part on the climate, terrain and traditional building practices of rural western North Carolina, a house is then posed for its site on the border of the Pisgah National Forest.

E-assessment for learning? Exploring the potential of computer-marked assessment and computer-generated feedback, from short-answer questions to assessment analytics.
… assessment, focusing on relatively sophisticated constructed-response questions, and on the impact of instantaneous, tailored and increasing feedback. A range of qualitative and quantitative research methodologies are used to investigate factors which influence the engagement of distance learners …

Environmental Education's Effects on the Attitudes, Knowledge and Concern For the Environment Among Secondary Students
… and concern section was tested by using a constructed response format. Statistical results showed no significant difference from pre- to post-tests (p > 0.050). This study revealed that students exposed to environmental science had a significant increase in knowledge. Even though students …

TEACHERS’ UNDERSTANDINGS ABOUT SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS INTEGRATION
… the teacher as representative of integration, a constructed response survey, a classroom observation of an integration lesson, field notes made by the researcher, and a semi-structured interview. Data analysis strategies included unitizing, categorizing, and sorting (Lincoln & Guba, 1985) as well …

Dealing with Sparse Rater Scoring of Constructed Responses within a Framework of a Latent Class Signal Detection Model
In many assessment situations that use a constructed-response (CR) item, an examinee's response is evaluated by only one rater, which is called a single rater design. For example, in a classroom assessment practice, only one teacher grades each student's performance. While single rater designs are …

STUDYING EPISTEMIC COGNITION IN THE HISTORY CLASSROOM: CASES OF TEACHING AND LEARNING TO THINK HISTORICALLY
… read a set of 6 documents and responded to a constructed response task (CRT). Specifically, student data were collected at the middle and end of the semester, while teachers were interviewed only once, at the end of the semester. In one of the junior classes, 27 additional juniors responded in …

A description of entry level tertiary students' mathematical achievement: Towards an analysis of student texts
… 111 This study challenges perceptions that responses to constructed response questions offer little information about the mathematical knowledge of students. This study investigates the possibilities of providing a bridge between the assessment of students by means of tests scores and a …
