Using bifactor models to assess the dimensionality of information and computer literacy

• In Event: Dimensionality

Abstract

Large-scale assessments evaluate education systems in domains such as reading and mathematics, but some argue they mainly reflect overall cognitive ability. Using German ICILS data, we examine the extent to which students' scores in computer and Information literacy, computational thinking, reading, and cognitive tests reflect their overall and subject-specific abilities.
