The ability of the Rasch model to provide item difficulties and achievement test scores which are invariant is studied. Data for the study were obtained from students in grades 3 through 7 who took the Sequential Tests of Educational Progress (STEP III) Reading and Mathematics Concepts tests during a spring norming study. Each test contained 50…

Powell, J. C. – 1980
Current Scoring practices for multiple-choice tests are rooted in early Associationist Theory and are based on a two-step procedure: (1) right answers counted as ones and wrong answers are zeros, and (2) number of right answers form a total-correct score. The author contends that if either step is invalid, the use of the general linear model (GLM)…

Engelhard, George, Jr. – 1980
The Rasch model is described as a latent trait model which meets the five criteria that characterize reasonable and objective measurements of an individual's ability independent of the test items used. The criteria are: (1) calibration of test items must be independent of particular norming groups; (2) measurement of individuals must be…

Students in four history classes were administered the Reading Progress Scale, form 5C (1975), to determine if scores would identify students who would have difficulty with coursework.

Kederis, Cleves J.; And Others – 1964
Two studies used controlled exposure devices in attempts to improve braille reading. The three null hypotheses tested were that reading practice under controlled exposure does not increase reading rates, any increase will not be maintained, and no differences in comprehension occur because of practice. Subjects were selected by the Gates Basic…

Otto, Wayne – 1968
Although refinement and development are to continue, the Wisconsin Prototypic System is now at the point where it can serve as a basis for a reading program, particularly where there is to be strong emphasis on individually guided instruction. This report discusses the rationale and assumptions underlying the system and lists its component parts:…
