Wolkowitz, Amanda A.; Foley, Brett P.; Zurn, Jared – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2021
As assessments move from traditional paper-pencil administration to computer-based administration, many testing programs are incorporating alternative item types (AITs) into assessments with the goals of measuring higher-order thinking, offering insight into problem-solving, and representing authentic real-world tasks. This paper explores multiple…

Luecht, Richard M. – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2013
Assessment engineering is a new way to design and implement scalable, sustainable and ideally lower-cost solutions to the complexities of designing and developing tests. It represents a merger of sorts between cognitive task modeling and engineering design principles--a merger that requires some new thinking about the nature of score scales, item…

Hendrickson, Amy; Ewing, Maureen; Kaliski, Pamela; Huff, Kristen – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2013
Evidence-centered design (ECD) is an orientation towards assessment development. It differs from conventional practice in several ways and consists of multiple activities. Each of these activities results in a set of useful documentation: domain analysis, domain modeling, construction of the assessment framework, and assessment…

Smith, Russell W.; Davis-Becker, Susan L.; O'Leary, Lisa S. – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2014
This article describes a hybrid standard setting method that combines characteristics of the Angoff (1971) and Bookmark (Mitzel, Lewis, Patz & Green, 2001) methods. The proposed approach utilizes strengths of each method while addressing weaknesses. An ordered item booklet, with items sorted based on item difficulty, is used in combination…

Kingsbury, G. Gage; Wise, Steven L. – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2011
Development of adaptive tests used in K-12 settings requires the creation of stable measurement scales to measure the growth of individual students from one grade to the next, and to measure change in groups from one year to the next. Accountability systems like No Child Left Behind require stable measurement scales so that accountability has…
