A Comparison of the Selected-Response Strategy and the Constructed-Response Strategy for Assessment of Third-Grade Writing Task.

Arrasmith, Dean G.; And Others

Journal of Educational Research, v77 n3 p172-77 Jan-Feb 1984

Two common strategies for assessing writing techniques and objective techniques are compared in a study of third-grade students. Student performance on selected response and constructed response test items, measuring the identification and construction of complete sentences, is compared. Results suggest that selected response items may lack construct validity. (Author/JMK)
