3. Advancing the validity argument for standardized writing tests using quantitative rhetorical analysis

   Beata Beigman Klebanov, Chaitanya Ramineni, David Kaufer, et al. · 2019 · Language Testing · 16 cites

   Essay writing is a common type of constructed-response task used frequently in standardized writing assessments. However, the impromptu timed nature of the essay writing tests has drawn increasing criticism for the lack of authenticity for real-world writing in classroom and workplace settings. The goal of this paper is to contribute evidence to a validity argument for standardized writing tests. Using measurements of distances between rhetorical profiles in the corpora of interest, we examined connections between argumentative writing on standardized assessments and in external writing situations; namely, opinionated writing in academic and real-life settings. The results show that test cor

4. A comparison of ethnic, sex and age bias in the predictive validity of English language aptitude tests: some Israeli data

   Moshe Zeidner · 1987 · Language Testing · 14 cites

   The primary aim of this study was to test for ethnic, sex, and age bias in the pre dictive validity of English language aptitude test scores, routinely employed for student selection and placement in the Israeli scene. The analyses were based on the English language aptitude test scores of 824 full time Jewish students studying at a major Northern Israeli university. For data analytic purposes, students were partitioned by ethnicity (Western/Oriental), sex (males/females), and age group membership (18-21, 22-25, 26-29, 30+). English language aptitude test scores, as predictors, evidenced both slope and intercept bias by ethnicity, tending signif icantly to overpredict the first year cumulati

6. Repurposing Standardized Testing for Educational Equity:: Can <i>Geographical Bias</i> and <i>Adversity Scores</i> Expand <i>True College Access</i> ?

   Manuel S. González Canché · 2019 · Policy Insights from the Behavioral and Brain Sciences · 11 cites

   Recent Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) criminal charges involving standardized testing have renewed public scrutiny over the tests’ role in reproducing inequities and wealth-based privileges. Although some continue to call for the eradication of standardized testing, this article presents a different perspective with a threefold purpose. First it provides a critical review of the existing literature on standardized testing including the newest development: geographical bias in testing or the systemic and systematic ways in which place-based resources influence test-takers’ performance. Second, it discusses the goals and consequences of the College Board’s recently unveiled “adversity s

7. Standardized Testing for Diverse Talent Identification: A Framework to Address Geographical Bias in Standardized Testing and Increase Diversity in College Admissions in the Post-Affirmative Action/Race-Neutral Admissions Era

   Manuel S. González Canché, Kaiwen Zheng, Yantao Song, et al. · 2025 · Research in Higher Education · 8 cites

   Abstract Despite the emergence of test-optional policies, standardized admission tests continue shaping the college composition and financial aid prospects of hundreds of thousands of students. This is concerning for the following reasons: (a) standardized test results have historically favored test-takers from wealthier and majority backgrounds, (b) test optional policies have prominently not translated into more diverse student bodies, and (c) on June 29, 2023, the Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional to consider race and ethnicity in college admission decisions. All of which threatens student body diversity in the United States. With this context in mind, this study contributes
