Resource | Eliminating Counterexamples: An Intervention for Improving Adolescents’ Contrapositive Reasoning
Students’ difficulties with contrapositive reasoning are well documented. Lack of intuition about contrapositive reasoning and lack of a meta-argument for the logical equivalence between a conditional claim and its contrapositive may contribute to students’ struggles. This case study investigated the effectiveness of the eliminating counterexamples intervention in improving students’ ability to…

Blog | An Astronomy Frontier Where Boundaries Dissolve
There's an old saying that interesting things happen at boundaries: Where the land meets the ocean, great seaports arise. Where nation borders nation, new cultures and languages arise. And at the thin boundary where earth meets sky, life emerges. But the search for life on other worlds — now the most exciting frontier in astronomy — is rapidly dissolving traditional boundaries of…

Resource | A Framework of Construct-Irrelevant Variance for Contextualized Constructed Response Assessment
Estimating and monitoring the construct-irrelevant variance (CIV) is of significant importance to validity, especially for constructed response assessments with rich contextualized information. To examine CIV in contextualized constructed response assessments, we developed a framework including a model accounting for CIV and a measurement that could differentiate the CIV. Specifically, the model…
