A coherent system of decision making is described that may be incorporated into an instructional sequence to provide a supplement to the experience-based judgment of the classroom teacher. The elements of this decision process incorporate prior information such as a teacher's past experience, experimental results such as a test score, and…

Berk, Ronald A. – 1980
Seventeen statistics for measuring the reliability of criterion-referenced tests were critically reviewed. The review was organized into two sections: (1) a discussion of preliminary considerations to provide a foundation for choosing the appropriate category of "reliability" (threshold loss function, squared-error loss-function, or…

Two methods are presented for comparing distributions, such as achievement test score distributions, for distinctly different groups of persons in such a way that the comparison will not be influenced by the particular metric of the test being used. Both methods use percentile scores. One method, attributed to Flanagan, fits a straight line to the…

Klaas, Alan C. – 1975
Current usage and theory of standard error of measurement calls for one standard error of measurement figure to be used across all levels of scoring. The study revealed that scoring variance across scoring levels is not constant. As scoring ability increases scoring variance decreases. The assertion that low and high scoring subjects will…

Heathers, Glen – 1966
Achievement and intelligence tests have been criticized for their adverse effects on the mental health and intellectual development of children. The fault is not with the testing, but with the instructional program. Reforms in testing must be accomplished as part of a revolution in the total instructional program encompassing: (1) a shift from a…

Treatments…

Fennessey, James – 1974
If educators hope to use educational achievement test scores to assess the impact of instructional programs, they must deal with the phenomenon of "fan-spread"--the tendency for groups with higher average scores to have a greater amount of within-group dispersion of scores. This paper discusses the nature of fan-spread, how it appears in…
