The publisher's description of the 2019 NWEA research brief frames the study's question: "Can technology-enhanced items increase student engagement on assessments?" The supplied text prints only this framing; no findings, sample, or statistics are reported in the available text.

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Test takers generally disengage during only a portion of their items, and these disengaged responses reflect a momentary cessation of measurement — related
• Disengaged test taking materially impacts individual state summative test scores but may have relatively minor impact on score aggregations — related
• Test-taking engagement plays an essential role in the pursuit of valid scores — a broader claim this one bears on
• Effort-moderated scoring estimates disengaged test takers' performance by excluding disengaged responses and scoring the remaining responses — related
• E-M scoring leaves residual score distortion, suggesting some disengaged test responses are nonrapid rather than rapid guesses — related
• Responses used in effort-moderated scoring can sometimes reflect less-than-full, or partial, engagement, making E-M scores less trustworthy — related
• Representational pictures enhance test-taker enjoyment, response certainty, and reduce rapid-guessing behaviour — related
