Peer reviewed

Cook, Linda L.; Eignor, Daniel R. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 1991

This paper provides the basis for understanding score equating through item response theory (IRT). Theoretical justifications and practical advantages of IRT true-score test procedures are discussed. Three steps in the equating process are specified, and a self-test is included. (SLD)

Misconceptions at the Intersection of Measurement Theory and Practice.

Peer reviewed

Brennan, Robert L. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 1998

Explores the relationship between measurement theory and practice, considering five broad categories of: (1) models, assumptions, and terminology; (2) reliability; (3) validity; (4) scaling; and (5) setting performance standards. It must be recognized that measurement is not an end in itself. (SLD)
