Applications of Educational Measurement: Is Optimum Optimal?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Plake, Barbara S. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 1993

Computer adaptive testing and performance testing are postulated as part of the program. What optimum information really means is discussed. Optimum is only optimal when theory and application are balanced. (SLD)
