This assumption is coupled with the concept of "a mixture of density functions" to provide a…

Based on the experiences of four equating studies conducted by the Austin (Texas) Independent School District, a practical "cookbook" approach to test equating is presented. Three types of equating procedures are discussed: choosing a cutoff score on a new instrument, predicting Y from X, and symmetric equating of X and Y. (BW)

Twenty-seven seventh-grade students participated in a study designed to investigate the student rate of progress through the computer-assisted instruction (CAI) text in relation to ability and achievement. Measures were developed to determine the general reading rate for each individual and to notice any deviation from that rate. It was found that…

A study analyzed the criteria available at the time of hiring elementary teachers to determine if any of the criteria would predict teachers' ratings at the end of three years of teaching. A review of research in the area yielded 29 factors thought to be indicative of teacher success. Subjects were 159 teachers who had completed their probationary…
