This module examines key concepts that form the foundation of Intersectionality Theory and considers challenges and opportunities these concepts present for quantitative methods. Two examples are presented to demonstrate how an intersectional approach to quantitative analyses differs from a traditional single-axis approach. The first example employs a linear regression technique to examine the efficacy of an educational intervention and to explore whether efficacy differs among subgroups of students. The second example compares findings when a differential item function analysis is conducted in a single-axis manner versus an intersectional lens. The module ends by exploring key considerations analysts and psychometricians encounter when applying Intersectionality Theory to a quantitative analysis.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47345,"journal":{"name":"Educational Measurement-Issues and Practice","volume":"43 3","pages":"106-108"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/emip.12622","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142404751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the introduction of the “Foundational Competencies in Educational Measurement” acknowledges this, the explanation of the framework itself falls short in acknowledging the competencies and skills of those from disciplines other than psychometrics, such as content development professionals (CDPs). Therefore, it is unable to sufficiently address the nature of validation work or other work not led by psychometricians. It also underexplores the vital competencies that underlie effective collaboration. As a result, it defines the competencies of psychometric work instead of the larger field of educational measurement.</p>","PeriodicalId":47345,"journal":{"name":"Educational Measurement-Issues and Practice","volume":"43 3","pages":"23-26"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142404726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I compare the goals the consortia were funded to meet between 2011 and 2015 with the assessment systems PARCC and SBAC were able to deliver. Two notable accomplishments of both consortia were the development of high‐quality summative assessments that were carefully designed to be accessible to all test‐takers. I describe factors that led many states to withdraw from consortia membership between 2011 and 2015, and which led to the effective dissolution of PARCC. I discuss lessons learned from serving on the PARCC and SBAC technical advisory committees, and make a case for the value proposition of assessment consortia in the future.","PeriodicalId":47345,"journal":{"name":"Educational Measurement-Issues and Practice","volume":"79 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142211655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
