Espinosa, Paul D.; Nagashima, Sam O.; Chung, Gregory K. W. K.; Parks, Daniel; Baker, Eva L. – National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST), 2009
Measures of rifle marksmanship skill and performance were developed using a prototype instrumented laser-based training system. Measures of performance were derived from laser strikes on a video-projected target. Measures of rifle marksmanship skill--breath control, trigger control, and muzzle wobble--were developed from shooters' breathing and…

Chung, Gregory K. W. K.; Nagashima, Sam O.; Delacruz, Girlie C.; Lee, John J.; Wainess, Richard; Baker, Eva L. – National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST), 2011
The UCLA National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST) is under contract from the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) to conduct research on assessment models and tools designed to support Marine Corps rifle marksmanship. In this deliverable, we first review the literature on known-distance rifle marksmanship…

Nagashima, Sam O.; Chung, Gregory K. W. K.; Espinosa, Paul D.; Berka, Chris; Baker, Eva L. – National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST), 2009
The goal of this report was to test the use of sensor-based skill measures in evaluating performance differences in rifle marksmanship. Ten shots were collected from 30 novices and 9 experts. Three measures for breath control and one for trigger control were used to predict skill classification. The data were fitted with a logistic regression…

Baker, Eva L. – Educational Assessment, 2001
Discusses the intellectual history supporting the use of educational testing and describes four current tensions in testing: (1) learning and change versus measurement models; (2) quality of information and policy use; (3) precision versus utility; and (4) individual attainment versus standardized attainment. (SLD)

Baker, Eva L. – NEA Today, 1988
Attempts to understand educational quality have created an ever-increasing set of measures and approaches. Issues regarding assessment of student learning, teacher effectiveness, and school effectiveness are discussed. (MT)

Baker, Eva L. – 1973
The need for common measures in research on teaching is legend, and the merits of teaching performance tests to meet this requirement are explored here. A regression study where teacher performance tests were used as dependent measures is described. Sixth-four subjects were given objective-based lessons to teach. During their lesson, they were…

Baker, Eva L. – Yearbook of the National Society for the Study of Education, 2005
Over the last 20 years, writing about technology (and more recently about its use in assessment systems) has been a joyful experience, in part because the author was usually right about how fast and how unexpected technology progress would be made. In this article, the author suggests to rethink assessment systems from design perspectives and the…

Baker, Eva L.; And Others – 1993
The Apple Classrooms of Tomorrow (ACOT) project was initiated in classrooms at five sites as a program of research on the impact of interactive technologies on teaching and learning. ACOT provided teachers and students with an Apple computer at home and at school. The University of California, Los Angeles, conducted an evaluation of the ACOT…

Baker, Eva L. – 1972
Instructional improvement within the context of criterion-referenced and norm-referenced tests is described. Such categories overemphasize test interpretation rather than design characteristics of achievement tests. Data from most measurement situations may be reported or interpreted either according to criterion- or norm-referenced standards. How…
