Mathematics skills are the fundament of modern societies, especially those based on a knowledge-economy. The age of digitalization renders mathematics education even more crucial since it builds the starting point for all STEM-related fields. Consequently, mathematics is at the core of numerous educational Large-Scale Assessments on international (e.g. PISA, TIMSS) or national level (e.g. NAEP, NEPS, SNSA). Although the underlying test development frameworks are most often multi-dimensional or hierarchical, psychometric analyses usually focus on a single latent factor that represents a rather vague general mathematical ability. How and to what extent this simplification affects educational studies that rely on these data remains unclear. The present study takes Luxembourg’s national school monitoring program ÉpStan as example to tackle this question and clarify the consequences. ÉpStan’s mathematics test is conducted annually in elementary school Grades 1, 3, and 5 and is comprised of around 50 to 70 items. Since ÉpStan captures competencies of all students biyearly, each analysis will be based on the full cohort (n > 5000). First, we will investigate whether the curriculum-based test framework for mathematics can psychometrically be represented in a related (multi-dimensional) confirmatory factor model including the domains numbers & operations and space & form. This will be done in Grades 1, 3, and 5. Second, we will study the factor model’s cross-sectional stability within each Grade (over three consecutive years) and longitudinal stability between Grades. Finally, we will study the factors’ relations to students’ cognitive and sociodemographic characteristics and compare the results with correlations found using the most widely used one-dimensional model of mathematical abilities. Based on the results, we will discuss implications not only for educational studies that often uncritically make use of large-scale assessment data, but also highlight the consequences for group-level feedback that is based on such assessments.

School career and academic achievement are known to greatly affect an individual’s path through life (e.g., Trapmann, Hell, Weigand & Schuler, 2007; Jimerson, 2001). In Luxembourg, recent findings indicate that at school entrance (i.e., the beginning of Grade 1) the majority of the students achieve or even surpass the required minimum level of core competencies such as mathematics and early literacy (Hoffmann, Hornung, Gamo, Esch, Keller, & Fischbach, 2018). However, in Grade 3 (i.e., after the first two years of elementary school) many students do no longer achieve the required minimum level of competencies in math and literacy (ibid.). Especially students with another language background than (any of) the official languages in Luxembourg (Luxembourgish, German, and French) and those socio-economically disadvantaged were found to be more likely not to obtain the competency level (ibid.). The current study aims to investigate which specific factors may facilitate (or hinder) learning progression by using longitudinal data of the Luxembourg School Monitoring Programme Épreuves Standardisées from Grade 1 (2014, 2015) to Grade 3 (2016, 2017, 2018). More specifically, students with irregular pathways (i.e., those who experienced grade retention) will be identified as treatment group and compared to a stratified control group of students following regular pathways. For each student of the treatment group, one or more students from the control group will be matched through propensity score matching, a matching procedure based on logistic regression, according to different pre-sets of variables. In a second step, the two groups will be compared in regards to competency levels as well as to socio-emotional context variables such as family background, student-teacher interaction, and school satisfaction aiming at identifying characteristics potentially facilitating (or hindering) a student’s school career.

The ability to assess learning outcomes is vital to effective teaching. Without understanding what students have learned, it is impossible to tailor information, tasks or feedback adequately to their individual needs. Thus, assessment literacy has been increasingly recognized as a core teacher competency in educational research, with many empirical studies investigating teachers’ abilities, knowledge and subjective views in relation to classroom assessment. In contrast, relatively few studies have focused on students’ perspectives of assessment. This is surprising, since gathering students’ feedback on their teachers’ assessment practices seems a logical step toward improving those practices. To help fill this gap, we present an explorative study using the recently developed Fairness Barometer as a tool to help identify specific strengths and weaknesses in individual teachers’ assessment methods. Viewing assessment through the lens of classroom justice theory, the Fairness Barometer asks students and teachers to rate aspects of procedural and informational justice in their own (teachers’) assessment practices. We examined the resulting fairness discrepancy profiles for 10 Austrian secondary school classes (177 students). Results showed wide variation in profile pattern, evidence that both students and teachers can differentiate between different aspects of assessment fairness. Further exploration of the resulting discrepancy-profiles revealed certain problem types, with some teachers differing from their students’ perception in almost every rated aspect, some showing specific assessment-related behaviors that require improvement (e.g., explaining grading criteria of oral exams), and others demonstrating almost identical responses as their students to the addressed fairness aspects. Results clearly indicate the potential of the Fairness Barometer to be used for teacher training and teacher self-development within the domain of teacher assessment literacy. [less ▲]

Im Rahmen des luxemburgischen Schulmonitorings werden Schlüsselkompetenzen der Schülerinnen und Schüler der luxemburgischen Regelschulen in regelmäßigen Abständen durch die so genannten Épreuves Standardisées (ÉpStan) gemessen. Diese längsschnittliche Begleitung der Schülerinnen und Schüler birgt die einmalige Chance, neue Erklärungsansätze für ein (alt)bekanntes Problem des luxemburgischen Schulsystems zu finden: die großen Unterschiede der Bildungschancen von Schülerinnen und Schüler je nach Geschlecht, sprachlichem und sozioökonomischem Hintergrund. Der vorliegende Beitrag gibt nun einen ersten Einblick in die längsschnittliche Kompetenzentwicklung in den Bereichen Deutsch-Leseverstehen und Mathematik. Hierfür werden die Testergebnisse der untersuchten Schülerkohorte aus den ÉpStan-Kompetenztests 2010 in der 3.Schulstufe den Leistungen in der 9. Schulstufe im Jahre 2016 gegenübergestellt. Die Darstellung der Entwicklungsverläufe mittels Sankey-Flussdiagrammen, erlaubt ein schnelles und intuitives Verständnis, von welchem Kompetenzniveau die Schülerinnen und Schüler in der 3. Klasse starten und welches sie schließlich in der 9. Klasse erreichen. Der Effekt von nachgewiesenermaßen einflussreichen, demografischen (Hintergrund-) Merkmalen wie Geschlecht, sprachlichem Hintergrund und sozioökonomischem Status wird dabei gesondert analysiert. Beim Blick auf die generellen Entwicklungsverläufe in den Bereichen Deutsch-Leseverstehen und Mathematik fällt vor allem eine sehr hohe Stabilität der Kompetenzeinstufungen auf: Schülerinnen und Schüler der 3. Klasse, deren Leistungen auf dem (erwartungskonformen) Niveau Socle oder Niveau Avancé liegen, verfügen in der Regel auch 6 Jahre später über hohe Deutsch- bzw. Mathematikkompetenzen. Umgekehrt verbleibt die Mehrheit der Schülerinnen und Schüler mit anfänglich schwachen Leistungen auch später auf einem niedrigen Kompetenzniveau. Bezieht man nun die Teilergebnisse zum Sprachhintergrund mit ein, lässt sich ganz klar folgern, dass die Unterrichtssprache hierfür einen entscheidenden Faktor darstellt: Schülerinnen und Schüler, die Luxemburgisch oder Deutsch als Muttersprache angeben, können sowohl in Deutsch-Leseverstehen als auch in Mathematik eher ein hohes Niveau halten bzw. sich im Laufe ihrer Schulkarriere auf ein solches verbessern. Portugiesischsprachige bzw. frankophone Schülerinnen und Schüler, die im Allgemeinen ohnehin auf einem niedrigeren Kompetenzniveau starten, können sich nur teilweise deutlich verbessern, profitieren aber vom Wechsel der Unterrichtssprache im Secondaire. Die Analysen zeigen darüber hinaus, dass typische Geschlechtsunterschiede, die auf einen Vorteil für Mädchen beim Lesen und einen leichten Vorteil für Jungen in Mathematik hindeuten, schon anfangs der 3. Klasse bestehen, und über die folgenden 6 Jahre weitgehend stabil bleiben. Zusammenfassend bestätigen die Ergebnisse die bereits mehrfach aufgezeigten landestypischen Probleme, erlauben aber eine feinere Aufschlüsselung und zeitliche Verortung der Wechselwirkungen zwischen Unterrichtssprache, sprachlichem und sozioökonomischem Schülerhintergrund, und bilden so die Grundlage für effektivere Interventionen.

The “Test of Cognitive Ability” (“TCP”) is a language-free test of reasoning ability that was created at the heart of the Luxembourg Centre for Educational Testing (LUCET). The TCP was initially developed for children at the age of 10 and can be applied in a group context. Since no advanced language-skills are required in order to take this test, it is perfectly suited not only to serve as a cognitive ability screener in a multi-lingual context, but also to study the relationship of cognitive ability and academic success within a demanding school-system that deals with a very complex mixture of student backgrounds (spoken languages, socioeconomic status, culture, etc.). Using traditional intelligence tests with language-based tasks and instructions could, in this context, result in biased data since maximum performance relies on a good understanding of task requirements. Being language-free, the TCP can help in gaining a more precise understanding of academic performance under different circumstances and prevent wrong conclusions as to the fairness of curricular requirements for different student populations. The present contribution will present the Test of Cognitive Potential and give an overview of how the relationship of cognitive ability and academic success varied within different subpopulations of a Luxembourgish sample of 303 4th graders.

Given that the use of educational technologies is increasingly popular in kindergarten and among young students, these technologies have been shown to be able to solve the difficulties (existing in school) that are either not possible to be solved in traditional schooling or cost a lot of time and resources. In this paper, we present a pedagogical training and learning application called MaGrid (Math on Grid), which has been developed to foster early mathematical skills in pre-schoolers. MaGrid is a tablet-based application, which provides a wide range of training tasks targeting fundamental mathematical concepts for the preschool level. The language-neutral property of MaGrid is an innovative aspect that makes MaGrid different from existing mathematical training applications. This property may reduce the barrier of language from mathematical education for second language learners encountered in multilingual school settings. MaGrid allows individual learning in an interactive way and provides real-time feedback. Moreover, MaGrid is capable of recording students’ activities while working on the training tasks, which can help teachers and parents keep track of a student’s progress in different tasks and observe potential training-related improvements over time. Finally, we describe a series of experiments carried out using the MaGrid application during special training and assessment sessions in several preschools in Luxembourg. [less ▲]

Psychological constructs are often multidimensionally and hierarchically conceptualized. For example, the complex problem solving (CPS) competence is based on the relatively independent subdimensions of knowledge acquisition and knowledge application. However, the validity of lower-order factors compared to a general factor (g) has been questioned in the research area of cognitive abilities. Therefore, the purpose of the present paper is to investigate the reliability and validity of the g-factor and the lowerorder factors of CPS. On the basis of bifactor models, we analyzed three data sets (N1 = 227; N2 = 339; N3 = 553) of two different CPS measurements. The findings indicate that the assumption of two relatively independent subdimensions of CPS is not justified in terms of unique variance and incremental explanation of external criteria. We conclude that an assumption on multidimensionality and an interpretation of lower-order constructs should be based on a more elaborated approach than usually applied. [less ▲]

It seems safe to say that the vital question of adequacy, precision, and fairness of grades is as old as the introduction of a grading system to schools and other educational institutions. In recent years, however, this topic has attracted a lot of research interest. Particularly in the wake of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2002, teacher accountability and how to measure it have become increasingly important to educational actors and researchers alike (Levy, Keller, Brunner, Fischbach, 2017). Consequently, multiple studies have examined teachers’ diagnostic abilities, especially their accuracy in assessing students’ competencies (e.g. Kaiser, Südkamp, Möller, 2017; Schrader, 2013; Südkamp, Kaiser, Möller, 2012; Tobisch & Dresel, 2017). The present paper complements this view by discussing a newly developed questionnaire that captures whether students themselves feel that they are being assessed in a fair and just way by their teachers: the Fairness Barometer. Capturing three different dimensions of fairness (informational fairness, interpersonal fairness, and procedural fairness), the questionnaire is intended to be administered by teachers who want to learn more about their own assessment practices through student feedback. By exclusively considering strategies and behaviors teachers can change, the Fairness Barometer provides clear guidance for improving current assessment practices; its questions were also carefully selected to avoid provoking unrealistic expectations in students. On the basis of two studies measuring perceived teacher fairness in the subjects Mathematics, English, and German among roughly 600 students, we will discuss the factorial structure of the Fairness Barometer and the relationship between fairness and self-reported grades. Results are promising and show that students of all competency levels are capable of judging their teachers’ assessment practices in a nuanced way. By developing the Fairness Barometer, we hope to equip teachers with a tool that is easy to administer and actually helps them to develop and improve their often criticized diagnostic competencies.

To comprehend spoken language is crucial, especially in school since teachers’ verbal explanations form the basis of learning in almost every subject. Given the rising number of immigrant students, valid and reliable listening comprehension (LC) tests become increasingly important. They help detecting struggling students and identifying specific competencies that need fostering. Unfortunately, most components of LC tests and their effect on item difficulty are still poorly understood, among them the speech rate which is usually taken as given characteristic of the used stimulus. But especially the speed of presenting information could easily be altered by teachers which makes understanding its impact on item difficulty an essential research endeavour. Based on two consecutive studies including n=419 Luxembourgish 3rd graders, the present paper discusses how manipulating the speech rate of informative, as well as narrative texts impacts the psychometric difficulty of a LC test in German. Four different texts were presented in two versions of varying speed: A slower version, using the mean speech rate of available LC units; a second version with higher speech rate, being oriented at authentic German radio programs. The different versions were anchored via additional, non-manipulated units and item difficulty estimation was done within IRT framework. In line with previous studies, higher speech rate increased item difficulty (Cohen’s d ranging from 0.4 to 1.08) but only for narrative texts. Surprisingly, the opposite effect was found for informative texts (d ranging from -1.07 to -0.46), showing that the slower version was more difficult to comprehend. We will discuss potential explanations for these findings and concrete take-aways for future LC test construction. [less ▲]

Unbestreitbare Herausforderung der heutigen Zeit, ist der Umgang mit zunehmend komplexeren Systemen. Dem regelmäßigen Ruf, die dafür benötigten Fähigkeiten und mentalen Einstellungen bereits in Schule und Studium zu trainieren (bspw. Vester, 2012), folgten - wohl auch aufgrund mangelnder Optionen – kaum Konsequenzen. Der vorliegende Beitrag diskutiert nun die Möglichkeit, vereinfachte aber dynamische Problemlöseszenarien mit weniger (System)Variablen und einfacheren (System)Effekten aber dafür hoch reliablen Performanzindizes für Trainingszwecke im Umgang mit Komplexität einzusetzen. Auf Basis dreier studentischer Kohorten eines Kurses zum Themenkomplex Nachhaltigkeit an der Universität Luxemburg (N=97), wurde erstmals evaluiert, welche Lernerfahrungen mit einem solchen Szenario gemacht und möglich werden. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass nicht nur zuverlässig verschiedene Problemlösestrategien erfasst werden, sondern das auch zwischen „aktiven“ und „reflektiven“ StudentInnen unterschieden werden kann, welche unterschiedlich erfolgreich mit den Szenarien umgehen. Die diagnostizierten typischen kognitiven Fehler im Umgang mit den Problemen und die dokumentierten Emotionen der StudienteilnehmerInnen zeigen das große (zukünftige) Potenzial dieser Szenarien.

Insbesondere in den letzten Jahren wird der Ruf nach Evaluation der Beurteiler selbst, also der Lehrkräfte deutlich stärker.
