Validation of Score Meaning in the Next Generation of Assessments
Young Women of Color in the School-to-Prison Pipeline
Edited by Kadriye Ercikan, University of British Columbia, Canada and James Pellegrino, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA Series: NCME APPLICATIONS OF EDUCATIONAL MEASUREMENT AND ASSESSMENT Validation of Score Meaning in the Next Generation of Assessments addresses the role of response processes data – data on the strategies, behaviours, and thought processes an examinee engages in during a test – in determining the validity and fairness of tests. Given the increasingly sophisticated data collection capabilities made possible by use of technology and the recent emphasis on testing as a means of understanding cognitive development, the time for a book on this topic is ripe. This book will bring together researchers who have used different types of examinee response process data in different testing contexts, including national, international, pen-and-paper, and computer-based.

Race, Gender, and Disability in a Carceral State Subini Ancy Annamma, University of Kansas, USA Young Women of Color in the School-to-Prison Pipeline analyzes the construction of criminal identities in schools via the intersections of race, gender, class, and disability amid the prevalence of targeted mass incarceration. Focusing uniquely on the pathologization of female students of color, whose voices are frequently engulfed by labels of deviance and disability, a distinct and underrepresented experience of the school-to-prison pipeline is detailed through original, qualitative methodologies. The book’s DisCrit framework, grounded in interdisciplinary research, draws on scholarship from education, women’s and girl’s studies, critical race theory, legal studies, and more.

What We Know About Heuristics and Biases Learning, Work, and Everyday Life Franklin Zaromb, Educational Testing Service, USA, Abigail Gertner, MITRE Corporation, USA, Robert Schneider, Jeremy Burrus, ProExam, USA, Gerald Matthews, Rebecca Rhodes and Richard D Roberts People often rely on mental shortcuts, known as heuristics, to help them make judgments and decisions quickly and efficiently. While, generally, these heuristics lead to accurate judgments, heuristics can also bias decision-making producing errors with serious consequences. What We Know About Heuristics and Biases introduces the literature on heuristics and provides an assessment tool designed to obviate these problems. Measuring six biases—confirmation bias, fundamental attribution error, the bias blind spot, anchoring bias, representativeness bias, and projection bias–this tool provides an innovate and cutting edge method for assessment professionals and researchers in measurement.
