Using Microcomputers to Administer Tests: An Alternate Point of View.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Millman, Jason – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 1984
In providing an alternative view to the previous article by Ward (TM 508 880), the author notes problems associated with adaptive testing, diagnostic testing, testing embedded in instruction, and testing through simulations. (BW)

Design of a Microcomputer-Based Adaptive Testing System.
Vale, C. David – 1982
This paper explores the feasibility of developing a single-user microcomputer-based testing system. Testing literature was surveyed to discover types of test items that might be used in the system and to compile a list of strategies that such a system might use. Potential users were surveyed. Several were interviewed, and a questionnaire was…

Participants' Reactions to Computerized Testing.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Moe, Kim C.; Johnson, Marilyn F. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1988
Describes study of 315 secondary school students that investigated their reactions to computerized testing and assessed the practicability of this testing method in the classroom. Two versions of a standardized aptitude test battery used are described, one computerized and one printed, and a survey assessing students' reactions is discussed. (9…

The Rasch Model as a Practical and Effective Procedure for Educational Measurement.
Forbes, Dean W. – 1986
For many years personalization of achievement testing has been impossible in all but the simplest forms. Recently, item response theory (IRT), or latent trait theory, has emerged as a valuable tool which brings far greater flexibility to the process than had previously been possible. The single parameter Rasch Model, a mathematical model developed…

Measuring Up in an Individualized Way with CAT-ASVAB: Considerations in the Development of Adaptive Item Pools.
Schratz, Mary K. – 1986
A computerized adaptive testing version of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (CAT-ASVAB) is being developed to test ten areas of vocational aptitude. Development of the CAT-ASVAB is based upon the use of item banks, testing and scoring procedures, assessment of test reliability and test validity, a technical manual, and the…

Using Microcomputers to Administer Tests.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ward, William C. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 1984
Some of the benefits available from using computers to administer the kinds of tests that are familiar in educational settings are reviewed. Four applications that represent current or near-term enhancements of assessment are discussed: computerized adaptive testing, diagnostic testing, test preparation, and administration of simulations of…

An Application of the Rasch Model to Computerized Adaptive Testing.
Wisniewski, Dennis R. – 1986
Three questions concerning the Binary Search Method (BSM) of computerized adaptive testing were studied: (1) whether it provided a reliable and valid estimation of examinee ability; (2) its effect on examinee attitudes toward computerized adaptive testing and conventional paper-and-pencil testing; and (3) the relationship between item response…
