Sex Differences in Mathematics Components of the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills.

Peer reviewed

Plake, Barbara S.; And Others – Psychology of Women Quarterly, 1981

Investigated the Mathematics Problem Solving (MPS) and Mathematics Concepts (MC) subtests of the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills for content and psychometric item bias at grades three, six, and eight. Identified items which favored either males or females. Found no skill classification, item content, or location trends. (Author/JAC)

The Comparability of Equal Raw Scores Obtained from In-Level and Out-Of-Level Testing: One Source of the Discrepancy between In-Level and Out-of-Level Grade Equivalent Scores.

Peer reviewed

Plake, Barbara S.; Hoover, H. D. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1979

An experiment investigated the extent to which the results of out-of-level testing may be biased because the child given an out of level test may have had a significantly different curriculum than the children given in-level tests. Item analysis data suggested this was unlikely. (CTM)
