In particular, the augment algorithm based on the reachability matrix can imply the structure of the Q-matrix and its non-zero columns, thus proving the set of Q-matrix columns forms an algebraic structure (Lattice). Applying the augment algorithm based on the reachability matrix and the test Q-matrix, respectively, we can obtain the theoretical construct validity of the test Q-matrix (i.e., the degree of the test Q-matrix fitting the cognitive model) and use the results to evaluate test quality. We can also use the algorithm when constructing and evaluating cognitive models, as well as when developing cognitive diagnostic models. Moreover, the augment algorithm and its reverse algorithm (reduction algorithm) are suitable for analyzing and evaluating retrofitting data.","PeriodicalId":72586,"journal":{"name":"Chinese/English journal of educational measurement and evaluation","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88484110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the US, students designated as English learners are assessed annually for English language proficiency (ELP), a complex construct whose conceptualization has evolved in recent years to reflect more precisely the language demands of content area achievement as reflected in the standards of individual states and state language assessment consortia, such as WIDA and ELPA21. The goal of this paper was to examine the possible role for and utility of using content area assessments to validate language proficiency mastery criteria. Specifically, we applied mixture item response models to identify two classes of EL students: (1) ELs for whom English language arts and math achievement test items have similar difficulty and discrimination parameters as they do for non-ELs and (2) ELs for whom the test items function differently. We used latent class IRT methods to identify the two groups of ELs and to evaluate the effects of different subscales of ELP (reading, writing, listening, and speaking) on group membership. Only reading and writing were significant predictors of class membership. Cut-scores based on summary scores of ELP were imperfect predictors of class membership and indicated the need for finer differentiation within the top proficiency category. This study demonstrates the importance of linking definitions of ELP to the context for which ELP is used and suggests the possible value of psychometric analyses when language proficiency standards are linked to the language requirements for content area achievement.</p>","PeriodicalId":72586,"journal":{"name":"Chinese/English journal of educational measurement and evaluation","volume":"2 1","pages":"49-73"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9869716/pdf/nihms-1860750.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9172668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over 30,000 individuals were assessed, each taking one of 12 forms of the examination’s language arts writing subtest in 23 US states. Writing processes were inferred using features extracted from keystroke logs and aggregated into seven composite indicators. Results showed that females earned higher essay and total language arts writing composite scores than did males, but only by trivial amounts. More pertinent was that, after controlling for language arts writing composite score, age, and essay prompt, all seven process indicators showed nontrivial, statistically significant differences, the most notable being for indicators related to fluency and different aspects of editing. The study’s findings are consistent in important ways with those from other investigations of school-age students and adults, and with results from both online and paper-based writing tasks. Implications are offered for conducting similar research for individuals composing in character-based languages like Chinese.","PeriodicalId":72586,"journal":{"name":"Chinese/English journal of educational measurement and evaluation","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83559608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
