This study evaluated whether automated scoring engines maintain stable performance when training data composition and training methods vary. We manipulated demographic representation (gender, English language learner, race, student with disabilities) and compared feature-based versus transformer-based models. Results showed performances were stable across subgroup-representation densities and transformer models exhibited greater stability.
