Session Submission Summary

Diagnostic Assessment: Recent Advances From Psychometric Modeling to Classroom Applications

Mon, April 7, 8:15 to 10:15am, Convention Center, Floor: 100 Level, 111B

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The symposium presents research related to diagnostic assessment, including research on both psychometric models and practical classroom implications. The research focusing on the former includes new applications of the Attribute Hierarchy Method and new psychometric models from the family of Diagnostic Classification Models. The research on the latter involves teachers’ interpretations of diagnostic reports, effects of diagnostic assessment on student learning, and the use of diagnostic assessment to measure teacher knowledge. The symposium focuses on diagnostic assessments that use distracter-driven or ordered multiple-choice items, in which incorrect response options are linked to misconceptions or cognitive levels. The session addresses the question: How can we best model and use diagnostic assessments to improve learning and instruction?
