| Abstract: |
We report the results of a validity study of a multidimensional fraction arithmetic test with a sample of 371 Chinese middle school mathematics teachers. The test was originally developed and validated in the U. S. using diagnostic classification models (DCMs). It contains four attributes related to fraction multiplication and division reasoning. The results provide crosscultural support for DCMs to reliably measure multidimensional constructs. The response patterns from the Chinese sample were compared to those of a US sample of 990 middle school teachers and provide a strong rationale for international collaboration.
