To what degree does rapid guessing distort aggregated test scores? @jiayideng0726, @SDIhlenfeldt, & I investigate this question in our latest @iemplab article published in Educational Assessment. For more details, see 👇🏽

When should individual ability estimates be reported when rapid guessing is present? I investigate this question in my latest @iemplab article in Applied Measurement in Education. For more details, see 👇🏽

It's a pleasure to co-publish a new @iemplab article with my advisee @jiayideng0726. In this paper, we examine the influence of differential rapid guessing on population invariance in equating. Check out our work and support an excellent graduate student!

We are looking for faculty of educational measurement programs in the U.S. to take a 15-20 minute online survey that will help us to learn about current recruitment, admissions, & retention practices. Participants will receive a $50 gift card! @NCME38 @AERA_Div_D @WomenMeasure

[Mohammed Abulela @Moha_Abulela]

Thrilled that my @iemplab paper with Dr. @JosephRiosPhD is now online in Applied Measurement in Education, in which we examine the robustness of three nonparametric DIF procedures to differential rapid guessing. You can access it here https://t.co/mtrLmETUap

[Joseph A. Rios, PhD @JosephRiosPhD]

I’m so proud of all my @iemplab PhD students, @jiayideng0726, @Moha_Abulela, & @SDIhlenfeldt, for accepting internships with some of the top research organizations in the nation this summer. It’s great to see all of their hard work paying off! @umn_edpsych https://t.co/C8QF1tA7kw

[Chris Domaleski @cdomaleski]

Measurement colleagues, particularly those with connections to early career professionals, Gwinnett County Public Schools (outside Atlanta) is looking for a psychometrician. They have a GREAT team there. Please share w/ potential candidates. https://t.co/trC3Pp14wa

[Joseph A. Rios, PhD @JosephRiosPhD]

What an amazing @NCME38 conference! It was a pleasure to see old colleagues and to make new ones after a three-year hiatus. I was especially moved to see my students from the @iemplab present their excellent research. I'm feeling re-energized after learning so much. @umn_edpsych

[Joseph A. Rios, PhD @JosephRiosPhD]

My new @iemplab & @umn_edpsych publication is out in Applied Psychological Measurement, which examines the utility of employing robust likelihood estimators to mitigating bias from rapid guessing when process data are unavailable. Please find a synopsis of the article👇🏾

[Joseph A. Rios, PhD @JosephRiosPhD]

If interested in research on noneffortful responding, you won’t want to miss @jiayideng0726’s @NCME38 virtual presentation tomorrow. Come join me in supporting a rising scholar in the measurement field. @umn_edpsych #testing #education #psychology

[Improving Educational Measurement Practice Lab @iemplab]

🔔Presentation alert 🔔 @iemplab member @jiayideng0726 is presenting tomorrow on the effects of ignoring noneffortful responding on perceptions of testing fairness. This presentation will be one that you won’t want to miss! @umn_edpsych #testing #measurement #education #testing

[Jiayi Deng @JiayiDengPhD]

I am very excited that I will present my co-authored paper with @JosephRiosPhD tomorrow morning at the @NCME38 annual meeting! Please join the Advancement in Psychometric Techniques Virtual Session at 12:15-1:15 EST on Saturday, April 9! @iemplab

[Joseph A. Rios, PhD @JosephRiosPhD]

Congrats @SDIhlenfeldt for receiving a research grant from @NCME38! Thank you for being a great example to all of us in the @iemplab. We are excited to see what you find! @umn_edpsych #education #psychology #diversityandinclusion

[Joseph A. Rios, PhD @JosephRiosPhD]

My co-authored @iemplab article with @jsoland is out in the International Journal of Testing, which describes an investigation of item, examinee, & country correlates of rapid guessing in PISA

Ed Psych Quote of the Week comes from @iemplab's @JosephRiosPhD and @jiayideng0726's simulation study of the effects of rapid guessing on estimates of coefficient alpha and implications for test development. (Full citation in thread.)

[Joseph A. Rios, PhD @JosephRiosPhD]

Join us tomorrow at 1pm CST for the next @iemplab and @umn_edpsych Educational Measurement Speaker Series lecture. Dr. Hongli Li from @GeorgiaStateU will be discussing the role of formative assessments in improving cognitive and noncognitive outcomes.
