The most critical feature of a common-item nonequivalent groups equating design is that the average score difference between the new and old groups can be accurately decomposed into a group ability difference and a form difficulty difference. Two widely used observed-score linear equating methods, the Tucker and the Levine observed-score methods,…

Jung, Eunju; Liu, Kimy; Ketterlin-Geller, Leanne R.; Tindal, Gerald – Behavioral Research and Teaching, 2008
The purpose of this study was to develop general outcome measures (GOM) in mathematics so that teachers could focus their instruction on needed prerequisite skills. We describe in detail, the manner in which content-related evidence was established and then present a number of statistical analyses conducted to evaluate the technical adequacy of…

Cox, Brenda G.; Folsom, Ralph E., Jr. – 1979
Using an empirical investigation of alternate item nonresponse adjustment procedures in a National Longitudinal Study (NLS) of missing and faulty data, it is indicated that in some cases imputation can reduce the accuracy of survey estimates. A National Sample of the high school class of 1972 is designed to provide statistics on students moving…

Stoneberg, Bert D. – Idaho State Department of Education, 2004
Differential item functioning (DIF) occurs when the responses of students with approximately equal ability differ systematically based on their group membership. Idaho contracted with the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA) to provide the Idaho Standards Achievement Tests of reading, language arts and mathematics at grades 4, 8 and 10. The…

Moore, Earl; Wellman, Frank – 1978
Focusing on the measurement of outcomes rather than on module materials specifically, test items were constructed to evaluate the Career Education Modules for grades 7-12 developed by the Missouri Career Education Project. First, the stated learning objectives of the modules were converted into outcome objectives. Next, the relevant vocabulary,…

Farish, Stephen J. – 1984
The stability of Rasch test item difficulty parameters was investigated under varying conditions. Data were taken from a mathematics achievement test administered to over 2,000 Australian students. The experiments included: (1) relative stability of the Rasch, traditional, and z-item difficulty parameters using different sample sizes and designs;…
