A Standard-Setting Method Designed for Complex Performance Assessments: Categorical Assignments of Student Work
Plake, Barbara S.; Hambleton, Ronald K.
Educational Assessment, v6 n3 p197-215 2000
Applied the analytical judgment standard setting method to 90 papers from the 1996 Grade 8 National Assessment of Educational Progress science assessment. Compared sorting versus direct classification, long and short versions of the classification scale, and effects of discussion on cutscores. Results from 17 Georgia teachers and 8 Michigan teachers show direct classification to be more feasible than sorting. (SLD)
