Chalifour, Clark; Powers, Donald E. – 1988
In actual test development practice, the number of test items that must be developed and pretested is typically greater, and sometimes much greater, than the number eventually judged suitable for use in operational test forms. This has proven to be especially true for analytical reasoning items, which currently form the bulk of the analytical…

Schmidt, Amy Elizabeth; And Others – 1996
Content analysis was used to examine the consistency of responses in self-report data obtained by a semi-structured conversational interview. It was hypothesized that a majority of the seemingly inconsistent responses would prove to be consistent when seen from the respondents' points of view. The sample consisted of 215 female homicide offenders…

Various coding schemes exist that allow the use of regression while still answering the researcher's questions of…

Ball, Lynda; Stacey, Kaye – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2004
Students who learn mathematics with CAS calculators are likely to develop new practices for doing and recording mathematics. Students discussed in this paper were able to use CAS calculators in examinations, making their own decisions about what to document as written records for solutions to problems. A comparison of some features of written…
