Federico, Pat-Anthony – 1989
To determine the relative reliabilities and validities of paper-based and computer-based measurement procedures, 83 male student pilots and radar intercept officers were administered computer and paper-based tests of aircraft recognition. The subject matter consisted of line drawings of front, side, and top silhouettes of aircraft. Reliabilities…

McBride, James R. – 1985
The advantages of computerized adaptive testing are discussed, and an example illustrates its use in sixth grade mathematics. These tests are administered at a computer terminal, and the test items to be administered are selected according to the difficulty level appropriate to the individual's ability. Tailoring increases the psychometric…

Grigsby, James; Somerville, Sarah – 1987
Germanna Community College (Virginia) instituted a program involving computer-based career aptitude testing of nontraditional adult learners enrolled in community colleges. The APTICOM computerized aptitude testing apparatus (purchased from the Vocational Research Institute) was selected for the program. A publicity campaign was organized to…

Maurelli, Vincent A.; Weiss, David J. – 1981
A monte carlo simulation was conducted to assess the effects in an adaptive testing strategy for test batteries of varying subtest order, subtest termination criterion, and variable versus fixed entry on the psychometric properties of an existent achievement test battery. Comparisons were made among conventionally administered tests and adaptive…

Diem, Richard A. – 1981
Designed to introduce social studies teachers to computers and to suggest ideas for their potential applications in social studies classrooms, this booklet is arranged in various sections. One section describes the origins of the modern computer, another defines computer terminology, and two sections explain computer hardware and computer…

Kingsbury, G. Gage; Weiss, David J. – 1981
Conventional mastery tests designed to make optimal mastery classifications were compared with fixed-length and variable-length adaptive mastery tests. Comparisons between the testing procedures were made across five content areas in an introductory biology course from tests administered to volunteers. The criterion was the student's standing in…

Kreitzberg, Charles B.; Jones, Douglas H. – 1980
The Broad-Range Tailored Test (BRTT) is a computerized adaptive test. Each testee responds to 25 items; at the conclusion of the test the computer calculates a verbal ability score for the individual. The test was designed to yield a verbal ability score from the fifth grade level to the graduate school level. Two forms of the BRTT were…

Prestwood, J. Stephen; Weiss, David J. – 1978
Volunteer college students were assigned to one of six computer administered vocabulary tests, one half with immediate knowledge of results (KR) after responding to each item, and the other half without knowledge of results. The six tests were designed to be at one of three levels of difficulty and consisted either of 50 preselected items…

Gosser, Jon; And Others – 1979
A study involving four sections of a general psychology course at Delta College (Michigan) was conducted to determine: (1) the effectiveness of repeated, cumulative testing on long-term retention of information; (2) its effect on students' ability to generalize information learned as measured by the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) general…

Hansen, Duncan N.; And Others – 1977
A computerized adaptive testing model was applied to a hierarchically arranged series of subtests within the instructional context of a technical education system. The model was a modification of Lord's flexilevel paradigm; however, it did not allow for individualized entry. Two achievement tests, each divided into five hierarchically related…

Pine, Steven M.; Weiss, David J. – 1978
This report examines how selection fairness is influenced by the characteristics of a selection instrument in terms of its distribution of item difficulties, level of item discrimination, degree of item bias, and testing strategy. Computer simulation was used in the administration of either a conventional or Bayesian adaptive ability test to a…

Cartwright, Glenn F.; Derevensky, Jeffrey L. – 1975
The study investigated the effects of exposure to computer-assisted testing (CAT) as an effective instructional method and its effects on attitudes toward computer-assisted instruction (CAI). Five computer quizzes consisting of 20 randomly drawn multiple-choice questions were individually administered on 10 teletype terminals. A feedback mechanism…

Betz, Nancy E.; Weiss, David J. – 1976
The effects of providing immediate knowledge of results (KR) and adaptive testing on test anxiety and test-taking motivation were investigated. Also studied was the accuracy of student perceptions of the difficulty of adaptive and conventional tests administered with or without immediate knowledge of results. Testees were 350 college students…

Kent, Thomas H.; Albanese, Mark A. – Evaluation and the Health Professions, 1987
Two types of computer-administered unit quizzes in a systematic pathology course for second-year medical students were compared. Quizzes composed of questions selected on the basis of a student's ability had higher correlations with the final examination than did quizzes composed of questions randomly selected from topic areas.
