Whittaker, Tiffany A.; Chang, Wanchen; Dodd, Barbara G. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 2012
When tests consist of multiple-choice and constructed-response items, researchers are confronted with the question of which item response theory (IRT) model combination will appropriately represent the data collected from these mixed-format tests. This simulation study examined the performance of six model selection criteria, including the…

Berger, Martijn P. F.; Veerkamp, Wim J. J. – 1994
The designing of tests has been a source of concern for test developers over the past decade. Various kinds of test forms have been applied. Among these are the fixed-form test, the adaptive test, and the testlet. Each of these forms has its own design. In this paper, the construction of test forms is placed within the general framework of optimal…

Stocking, Martha L.; Lewis, Charles – 1995
In the periodic testing environment associated with conventional paper-and-pencil tests, the frequency with which items are seen by test-takers is tightly controlled in advance of testing by policies that regulate both the reuse of test forms and the frequency with which candidates may take the test. In the continuous testing environment…

Wang, Yu-Chung Lawrence – 1994
The first purpose of this study was to investigate the stability of two essential dimensionality measures across 10 random samples within a particular assessment item (AT1) selection. Other purposes were to investigate the discrepancy of the essential unidimensionality estimates for a test across different AT1 selections and sample sizes and to…

Barnette, J. Jackson – Research in the Schools, 2001
Studied the primacy effect (tendency to select items closer to the left side of the response scale) in Likert scales worded from "Strongly Disagree" to "Strongly Agree" and in the opposite direction. Findings for 386 high school and college students show no primacy effect, although negatively worded stems had an effect on Cronbach's alpha. (SLD)

Stocking, Martha L. – 1988
The construction of parallel editions of conventional tests for purposes of test security while maintaining score comparability has always been a recognized and difficult problem in psychometrics and test construction. The introduction of new modes of test construction, e.g., adaptive testing, changes the nature of the problem, but does not make…

Wainer, Howard; And Others – 1991
When an examination consists, in whole or in part, of constructed response items, it is a common practice to allow the examinee to choose among a variety of questions. This procedure is usually adopted so that the limited number of items that can be completed in the allotted time does not unfairly affect the examinee. This results in the de facto…

Fan, Xitao; And Others – 1994
The hypothesis that faulty classical psychometric and sampling procedures in test construction could generate systematic bias against ethnic groups with smaller representation in the test construction sample was studied empirically. Two test construction models were developed: one with differential representation of ethnic groups (White, African…
