Brandenburg, Dale C.; Forsyth, Robert A. – Journal of Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1974
Descriptors: Achievement Tests, Comparative Analysis, Item Sampling, Mathematical Models
Harris, Chester W. – 1975
Achievement tests which are specifically linked to an instructional program and have been developed in relation to an objectives base and/or to an item generation rule are considered, as well as student response data. Three types of studies are outlined and the kind of procedures thought useful illustrated. As various methods for examining…

Berk, Ronald A. – 1978
Sixteen item statistics recommended for use in the development of criterion-referenced tests were evaluated. There were two major criteria: (1) practicability in terms of ease of computation and interpretation and (2) meaningfulness in the context of the development process. Most of the statistics were based on a comparison of performance changes…

Scheetz, James P.; Forsyth, Robert A. – 1977
Empirical evidence is presented related to the effects of using a stratified sampling of items in multiple matrix sampling on the accuracy of estimates of the population mean. Data were obtained from a sample of 600 high school students for a 36-item mathematics test and a 40-item vocabulary test, both subtests of the Iowa Tests of Educational…

Pandey, Tej N. – 1978
The concept under investigation was the reliability of estimates of mean scores of groups under various assumptions of multiple-matrix sampling when reliabilities are computed according to procedures based on generalizability theory. Four different cases were compared with respect to the generalizability coefficients depending upon whether pupils…

Harris, Chester W.; And Others – 1977
The implications of a mathematical model of test scores are explored where the data are limited to a random sample of items without replacement from an indefinitely large population or item domain in which items are scored either zero or one. The purpose is to obtain an unbiased estimate of a student's proportion of items correct in the item…

Reiser, Mark – Journal of Educational Statistics, 1983
In studies involving matrix sampling on items, it is often the case that there are too few responses per individual to use latent trait item response models. A model is formulated wherein individual level variability appears as independent error within the cells of a cross classification of demographic variables. (JKS)

Lewy, Arieh; Doron, Rina – 1977
The concept of tailored testing for individuals is applied to the construction of tests for special groups and extended to apply to item content as well as item difficulty. It is suggested that evaluators may decide to construct tests on the basis of a unique combination of items drawn from an item bank to fit the need of a particular group. At…

Holmes, Susan E. – 1980
The Rasch model for test score equating was compared with three other equating procedures as methods for implementing the norm referenced method (RMC Model A) of evaluating ESEA Title I projects. The Rasch model and its theoretical limitations were described. The three other equating methods used were: linear observed score equating, linear true…
