Abstract
Fraction learning is a central yet difficult topic in mathematics education. Hence, formatively monitoring fraction learning is important. Despite a sound research base from paper-based studies, findings on fraction learning are still difficult to use in practice, as mathematics teachers have limited access to test materials, for example. This contribution presents the first results of a study that explores the feasibility of digital testing with n = 231 sixth graders. It focuses on the psychometric quality of fraction tests that have been adapted to a digital format and their suitability for repeated testing. The findings indicate similarities but also differences compared with the paper-based tests. The two tests indicate to be parallel and hence suitable for the digital monitoring. The implications of our findings for school practice are discussed.
