Computerized Adaptive and Fixed-Item Testing of Music Listening Skill: A Comparison of Efficiency, Precision, and Concurrent Validity.

Vispoel, Walter P.; And Others

Journal of Educational Measurement, v34 n1 p43-63 Spr 1997

Efficiency, precision, and concurrent validity of results from adaptive and fixed-item music listening tests were studied using: (1) 2,200 simulated examinees; (2) 204 live examinees; and (3) 172 live examinees. Results support the usefulness of adaptive tests for measuring skills that require aurally produced items. (SLD)
