What Price Simplicity?
Cronbach, Lee J.
Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, v2 n2 p11-12 Sum 1983
In response to Ebel's article (TM 508 146) the author points out that, in emphasizing what a test is intended to measure, the vital question of what should be measured is set aside. While explicit specifications for a test should be encouraged, questions of worth ought to be prominent in designing and selecting tests. (Author/LC)
