New publication by AERC's A/Prof Joshua McGrane
AERC proudly celebrates the publication of a journal article co-authored by David Torres Irribarra and A/Prof Joshua McGrane.
Torres Irribarra, D. & McGrane, J. A. (2026). Grounding meaning and warranting inference in Educational Measurement: Theory, epistemology, and practice in Mislevy's Sociocognitive Framework. Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 45: e70023. https://doi.org/10.1111/emip.70023.
The article argues that Robert J. Mislevy’s Sociocognitive Foundations of Educational Measurement reshapes educational measurement by connecting psychometric practice with theories of learning, evidentiary reasoning, and socially grounded interpretation. It highlights Mislevy’s emphasis on Bayesian inference, methodological pluralism, and epistemic restraint as a rigorous foundation for addressing contemporary assessment challenges, including fairness, responsible use, and AI-driven evaluation.
