Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Law
  • Statistics
  • Mathematics education

Her main research concerns Mathematics education, Test validity, Standardized test, Primary education and Curriculum. Her Mathematics education study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Social promotion. As part of the same scientific family, she usually focuses on Test validity, concentrating on Reliability engineering and intersecting with Predictive validity.

Her Standardized test research focuses on subjects like Academic achievement, which are linked to Achievement test, Medical education and Student's t-test. The Primary education study which covers School readiness that intersects with Age differences. The various areas that Lorrie A. Shepard examines in her Curriculum study include Social constructivism, Educational research and Public relations.

Her most cited work include:

  • The Role of Assessment in a Learning Culture (1525 citations)
  • Methods for Identifying Biased Test Items (601 citations)
  • Evaluating Test Validity (347 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Mathematics education, Pedagogy, Test, Primary education and Test validity are her primary areas of study. In Mathematics education, Lorrie A. Shepard works on issues like Curriculum, which are connected to Reading. Her work on Educational research, Early childhood education and Just in Time Teaching as part of general Pedagogy research is frequently linked to Program development, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Her study focuses on the intersection of Test and fields such as Econometrics with connections in the field of Item bias. The concepts of her Test validity study are interwoven with issues in Social psychology, Predictive validity and Reliability engineering. Lorrie A. Shepard combines subjects such as Applied psychology, Accountability, Achievement test, Medical education and Teaching method with her study of Standardized test.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Mathematics education (39.29%)
  • Pedagogy (21.43%)
  • Test (18.75%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Formative assessment (15.18%)
  • Mathematics education (39.29%)
  • Curriculum (13.39%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Lorrie A. Shepard focuses on Formative assessment, Mathematics education, Curriculum, Medical education and Learning theory. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Sociocultural evolution and Faculty development. Her Mathematics education study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Test validity, Benchmarking and Benchmark.

Her Curriculum research incorporates elements of Student learning, Data collection and Accountability. She studied Medical education and Standardized test that intersect with Educational research, General partnership and Psychometrics. Her work carried out in the field of Learning theory brings together such families of science as Grading, Just in Time Teaching and Self-assessment.

Between 2010 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Impact of undergraduate science course innovations on learning. (131 citations)
  • Meta‐analytic methodology and inferences about the efficacy of formative assessment (43 citations)
  • Using Learning and Motivation Theories to Coherently Link Formative Assessment, Grading Practices, and Large‐Scale Assessment (39 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Law
  • Statistics
  • Pedagogy

Her primary areas of study are Formative assessment, Mathematics education, Social psychology, Medical education and Standards-based assessment. Her Formative assessment research includes elements of Faculty development, Sense of community, Educational assessment, Grading and Self-efficacy. Mathematics education is closely attributed to Curriculum in her research.

In the field of Social psychology, her study on External validity overlaps with subjects such as Validity.
