Item Parameter Drift of Social and Emotional Learning Measures over Time

• In Event: Electronic Board Session II

Abstract

Item parameter drift is important, may jeopardize validity and fairness of score interpretation, and is rarely examined for noncognitive measures. A large dataset was used to examine IPD over nine years in multiple ways for three noncognitive measures. No serious IPD was found, suggesting good stability of item parameter estimates.
