Can you imagine going back to 8th grade? Sounds a little terrifying, right???? Well, I did just this week—and to my surprise, it was amazing. I had the opportunity to visit a group of 8th grade students in Waco, TX to talk about something most people wouldn’t expect to wow a room full of teens: psychometrics. I braced myself for eye rolls and blank stares. But what I got instead? Thoughtful questions. Honest feedback. Nods of understanding. Even applause. We dove into measurement error and how things like test length, fatigue, stress, and engagement can influence it. I drew a diagram on the board (yes, it was epic!) and before I knew it, we were all brainstorming ways to balance these challenges together. And you know what? I learned just as much as they did. ?? 8th graders want autonomy and agency over their testing experience ? ??? Testing causes them stress—something we must keep in mind as developers ? ? Spreading tests across multiple days can heighten fatigue and anxiety To my fellow psychometricians and assessment designers: if you want "maximize the information" you get from test data, we need to get out there and talk with the students we're designing for. They’re not just test takers—they’re partners in the process. #Education #Psychometrics #EdTech Curriculum Associates
