Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q1 i? When students give disengaged responses to some test items, the degree to which the remaining engaged responses maintain the intended content representation becomes an open validity question. → Steven Wise 2020

q1 · i? · associational · r?
This is the article's framing statement, offered as a conceptual argument rather than a tested result: disengaged responses to some items "raises the issue of the degree to which the set of engaged responses maintain the intended content representation."
"Sometimes, however, students give disengaged responses to some of their test items, which raises the issue of the degree to which the set of engaged responses maintain the intended content representation."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Disengaged test-taking responses can distort the content representation of test items — a broader claim this one bears on
- E-M scoring assumes the remaining responses are unaffected by disengagement, and this assumption can fail under partial engagement — related
- Responses used in effort-moderated scoring can sometimes reflect less-than-full, or partial, engagement, making E-M scores less trustworthy — related
- E-M scoring leaves residual score distortion, suggesting some disengaged test responses are nonrapid rather than rapid guesses — related
