Rock, Donald A. – ETS Research Report Series, 2007
This paper presents a strategy for measuring cognitive gains in reading during the early school years. It is argued that accurate estimates of gain scores and their appropriate interpretation requires the use of adaptive tests with multiple criterion referenced points that mark learning milestones. It is further argued that two different measures…

Peer reviewedHaladyna, Thomas M.; Roid, Gale H. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1983
The present study showed that Rasch-based adaptive tests--when item domains were finite and specifiable--had greater precision in domain score estimation than test forms created by random sampling of items. Results were replicated across four data sources representing a variety of criterion-referenced, domain-based tests varying in length.…

Hambleton, Ronald K.; And Others – 1975
The success of objectives-based programs depends to a considerable extent on how effectively students and teachers assess mastery of objectives and make decisions for future instruction. While educators disagree on the usefulness of criterion-referenced tests the position taken in this monograph is that criterion-referenced tests are useful, and…

Peer reviewedSireci, Stephen G.; Hambleton, Ronald K. – International Journal of Educational Research, 1997
Achievement testing in the next century is going to be very different. Computer technology is going to play a major role in test construction, test administration, scoring, and score reporting. New formats will become possible that incorporate visual and audio components and that permit adaption of tests to individual ability levels. (SLD)

Educational Testing Service, Princeton, NJ. – 1977
The 1976 Educational Testing Service (ETS) Invitational Conference served as a platform for individuals who have been prominent in educational measurement and research to present their views on issues surrounding the testing controversy. The 1976 ETS "The Testing Scene: Chaos and Controversy," presents a historical review of events surrounding the…
