Performance Assessments with Microworlds and Their Difficulty
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kluge, Annette – Applied Psychological Measurement, 2008
The use of microworlds (MWs), or complex dynamic systems, in educational testing and personnel selection is hampered by systematic measurement errors because these new and innovative item formats are not adequately controlled for their difficulty. This empirical study introduces a way to operationalize an MW's difficulty and demonstrates the…
