Page: 1234
The Algebra Instruction at Community Colleges: Validating Measures of Quality Instruction project (VMQI) developed an instrument to measure mathematical knowledge for teaching community college algebra (MKT-CCA) and conducted cognitive interviews with 12 community college instructors of College Algebra. Thirty-six drafted MKT-CCA test items were reviewed with each item being reviewed by two instructors. This paper presents the lessons learned from this preliminary analysis of the cognitive interview transcripts.
