Romig, John Elwood; Therrien, William J.; Lloyd, John W. – Journal of Special Education, 2017
We used meta-analysis to examine the criterion validity of four scoring procedures used in curriculum-based measurement of written language. A total of 22 articles representing 21 studies (N = 21) met the inclusion criteria. Results indicated that two scoring procedures, correct word sequences and correct minus incorrect sequences, have acceptable…

Erford, Bradley T.; Johnson, Erin; Bardoshi, Gerta – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 2016
This meta-analysis reviewed 144 studies from 1996 to 2013 using the Beck Depression Inventory-Second Edition. Internal consistency was 0.89 and test-retest reliability 0.75. Convergent comparisons were robust across 43 depression instruments. Structural validity supported both one- and two-factor solutions and diagnostic accuracy varied according…

Spooren, Pieter; Brockx, Bert; Mortelmans, Dimitri – Review of Educational Research, 2013
This article provides an extensive overview of the recent literature on student evaluation of teaching (SET) in higher education. The review is based on the SET meta-validation model, drawing upon research reports published in peer-reviewed journals since 2000. Through the lens of validity, we consider both the more traditional research themes in…

Caffrey, Erin; Fuchs, Douglas; Fuchs, Lynn S. – Journal of Special Education, 2008
The authors report on a mixed-methods review of 24 studies that explores the predictive validity of dynamic assessment (DA). For 15 of the studies, they conducted quantitative analyses using Pearson's correlation coefficients. They descriptively examined the remaining studies to determine if their results were consistent with findings from the…

Nitko, Anthony J. – New Directions for Testing and Measurement, 1980
Criterion-referencing is a way to enhance the interpretation of test scores by referencing them to well-defined behavior domains. Behavior domains may be ordered or unordered; several varieties of criterion-referenced tests within each of these types are discussed. (Author/RL)

Griffin, Patrick – 1991
Data from research studies seem to support the validity of teacher judgments of student achievement; however, there are unresolved issues, including the focus of the judgment, the external validity or credibility of the assessment, and the process of the assessment itself. To achieve maximum benefits from this form of assessment/teaching…

Schell, Leo M., Ed. – 1981
Intended to help educators select diagnostic and criterion referenced reading tests for their specific purposes, this book contains reviews of nine individual and three group tests. The reviewed tests were selected for their "importance" from a list of 34 and were reviewed by experts according to their descriptions of content, test development,…

van der Linden, Wim J. – Review of Educational Research, 1981
Using criterion-referenced test item data collected in an empirical study, differences in item selection between Cox and Vargas' pretest-posttest validity index and a latent trait approach (evaluation of the item information function for the mastery score) are analyzed. (Author/GK)

Brittain, Mary M.; Brittain, Clay V. – 1981
A behavioral domain is well-defined when it is clear to both test developers and test users which categories of performance should or should not be considered for potential test items. Only those tests that are keyed to well-defined domains meet the definition of criterion-referenced tests. The greatest proliferation of criterion-referenced tests…

Baker, Eva L. – 1982
This booklet is intended to help school personnel, parents, students, and members of the community understand concepts and research relating to achievement testing in public schools. The paper's sections include: (1) test use with direct effects on students (test of certification, selection, and placement); (2) test use with indirect effects on…

Delawter, Jayne; Sherman, Barry W. – Learning, 1979
An introductory analysis of the relative faults and merits of various testing systems suggests the need for teacher intercession in the standard testing procedure. (LH)

Choppin, Bruce – 1981
Coventional true score approaches to criterion-referenced tests are not applicable when tests are used for classification. Criterion-referenced testing is now used frequently for educational decision making. The assumption is made that these instruments are to be considered as tests designed to classify into "mastery" and "non-mastery" groups,…

Hambleton, Ronald K.; Eignor, Daniel R. – 1978
In light of the widespread use of competency testing, the authors consider that it is important to determine ways of developing and using competency testing to insure that it achieves its full potential. The paper, in three parts, introduces a model for the development and validation of competency tests, reviews several methods for setting…

Davies, Alan – Journal of Applied Linguistics, 1985
Describes three "continuum categories" of language tests and the place of communicative tests in each of the three continuums. The question of what communication involves is discussed and five different approaches to communicative language testing are presented. (SED)

Torres, Rosalie T.; Harnisch, Delwyn L. – 1983
A review of functional literacy testing in the United States from 1955-82 is provided by summarizing the results of literacy assessment studies and synthesizing the major issues which they have engendered. These reviews are grouped with respect to content, criterion-related, and construct validity. The paper concludes by (1) summarizing some of…
