Using Microcomputers to Develop Tests.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hambleton, Ronald K. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 1984
The purpose of this paper is to describe some of the current changes in test development that are taking place because of the availability and capabilities of computers, especially microcomputers. Item banking and test assembly are discussed, and a comprehensive testing system is described. (BW)

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fremer, John – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 1984
The constructive use of microcomputers in the development of tests requires thoughtful attention to the questions addressed in this paper: What is the purpose for testing? How can a microcomputer help? Which microcomputer system is best? What pitfalls should be avoided? (BW)

Using Microcomputers to Assess Achievement and Instruction.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Roeber, Edward D. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 1984
In every instance in the process of constructing and using a test, the microcomputer can aid the classroom teacher. However, the teacher will not apply the microcomputer to classroom testing without added training both in classroom testing and in using the microcomputer. (BW)

Using Microcomputers to Assess Achievement and Instruction.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Nelson, Larry R. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 1984
The author argues that scoring, reporting, and deriving final grades can be considerably assisted by using a computer. He also contends that the savings in time and the computer database formed will allow instructors to determine test quality and reflect on the quality of instruction. (BW)

Using Microcomputers to Administer Tests.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ward, William C. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 1984
Some of the benefits available from using computers to administer the kinds of tests that are familiar in educational settings are reviewed. Four applications that represent current or near-term enhancements of assessment are discussed: computerized adaptive testing, diagnostic testing, test preparation, and administration of simulations of…
