The Cost of Science Performance Assessments in Large-Scale Testing Programs.
Stecher, Brian M.; Klein, Stephen P.
Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v19 n1 p1-14 Spr 1997
Estimates of the costs of including hands-on measures of science skills in a large-scale assessment program were derived from a field trial involving more than 2,000 fifth and sixth graders. Results suggest that complexity makes hands-on assessments more than three times as expensive as open-ended writing assessments. (SLD)
