New Grant: Bradshaw's $1.4M study helps enhance teachers' toolboxes
A new $1.4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education allows associate professor Laine Bradshaw to use a psychometric method she developed to assess students’ comprehension of key concepts—combining research with practice.
The project, “Diagnostic Inventories of Cognition in Education,” investigates a new way to create an assessment to figure out which misconceptions students have based on which incorrect answers they pick—information that is typically disregarded in assessments.
