Valentini, Nadia Cristina; Nobre, Glauber Carvalho; Zanella, Larissa Wagner; Pereira, Keila G.; Albuquerque, Maicon Rodrigues; Rudisill, Mary Elizabeth – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2021
Background: The Test of Gross Motor Development--3 (TGMD-3) is used to assess locomotor (LOCS) and ball (BS) skills in children. This test provides relevant information for evaluating learning and determining teaching efficacy. However, conducting and coding the test is time consuming. A screening form may improve its usage in specific settings…

Villarreal, Victor – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2019
The "Rating Scale of Impairment" (RSI; Goldstein & Naglieri, 2016b) is a norm-referenced measure of functional impairment. The RSI measures impairment in six domains, as well as overall impairment, based in part on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health. Functional impairment, as defined by the ICF…

Burton, Kelley – Journal of Learning Design, 2015
The article "Designing criterion-referenced assessment" (Burton, 2006) appeared in the "Journal of Learning Design," Volume 1, Issue 2 in 2006. Nine years later, Associate Professor Burton reflects upon her original article. when the article was written, the author worked at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT). At…

Norfolk, Philip A.; Farmer, Ryan L.; Floyd, Randy G.; Woods, Isaac L.; Hawkins, Haley K.; Irby, Sarah M. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2015
The representativeness, recency, and size of norm samples strongly influence the accuracy of inferences drawn from their scores. Inadequate norm samples may lead to inflated or deflated scores for individuals and poorer prediction of developmental and academic outcomes. The purpose of this study was to apply Kranzler and Floyd's method for…

Frame, Laura B.; Vidrine, Stephanie M.; Hinojosa, Ryan – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2016
The Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement, Third Edition (KTEA-3) is a revised and updated comprehensive academic achievement test (Kaufman & Kaufman, 2014). Authored by Drs. Alan and Nadeen Kaufman and published by Pearson, the KTEA-3 remains an individual achievement test normed for individuals of ages 4 through 25 years, or for those in…

Randall, Robert S. – 1972
Differences in design between norm referenced measures (NRM) and criterion referenced measures (CRM) are reviewed, and some of the procedures proposed on designing and evaluating CRM are examined. Differences in design of NRM and CRM are said to arise from the different purposes that underlie each measure. In addition, there are differences among…

Willoughby, Lee; And Others – 1976
This study compared a domain referenced approach with a traditional psychometric approach in the construction of a test. Results of the December, 1975 Quarterly Profile Exam (QPE) administered to 400 examinees at a university were the source of data. The 400 item QPE is a five alternative multiple choice test of information a "safe"…

Burton, Kelley – Journal of Learning Design, 2006
Criterion-referenced assessment arguably results in greater reliability, validity and transparency than norm-referenced assessment. This article examines this assertion with reference to an example from a second year undergraduate law unit at the Queensland University of Technology, LWB236 Real Property A. When designing criterion-referenced…

Loesch, Larry C.; McDavis, Roderick J. – Counselor Education and Supervision, 1978
This article discusses the development, field test, and uses of the counseling-orientation scale (COS), a scale for assessing relative preferences for seven major counseling orientations. Procedures used to develop and validate it are presented. The COS field test, reliability, and normative data are described. (Author)

Willson, Victor L.; Reynold, Cecil R. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1985
Techniques for constructing short forms of tests are discussed, and an example is given using the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised. Reliability and validity estimation equations are presented. (GDC)

Jackson, Rex – 1970
Present definitions of the criterion-referenced test are discussed, insufficiences noted, and a new definition proposed. Some examples of criterion-referenced tests are examined and used to educe some general principles for the development of such tests. The utility of item form processes is assessed. It is suggested that the difficulty of…

Bridgeman, Brent – 1974
This experiment was designed to assess the ability of item writers to construct truly parallel tests based on a "duplicate-construction experiment" in which Cronbach argues that if the universe description and sampling are ideally refined, the two independently constructed tests will be entirely equivalent, and that within the limits of item…

Christie, Samuel G.; Conniff, William A. – 1981
Stockton Unified School District's successful strategy of using a locally developed, non-normed achievement test to implement the norm referenced model of the Title I Evaluation and Reporting System (Model A2) is described. Documented are the procedures involved in the development of a curriculum guide and test items, and the administration of…
