A Psychometric Perspective on Authentic Measurement.

Peer reviewed

Hambleton, Ronald K.; Murphy, Edward – Applied Measurement in Education, 1992

The validity of several criticisms of objective tests is addressed, and the viability of some alternatives to objective testing is discussed. Evidence against multiple-choice tests is not as strong as has been claimed. Authentic assessments may not always be better, and research about new forms of assessment is necessary. (SLD)

An Evaluation of Elementary Textbook Tests as Classroom Assessment Tools.

Peer reviewed

Frisbie, David A.; And Others – Applied Measurement in Education, 1993

The nature and quality of chapter-end tests accompanying social studies and science textbooks used in elementary school and middle school grades were studied through reviews by 3 judges of 91 tests. Identified shortcomings lead to the recommendation that these tests not be used intact in classroom assessment. (SLD)
