Peer reviewedMartinez, Michael E.; Bennett, Randy Elliot – Applied Measurement in Education, 1992
New developments in the use of automatically scorable constructed response item types for large-scale assessment are reviewed for five domains: (1) mathematical reasoning; (2) algebra problem solving; (3) computer science; (4) architecture; and (5) natural language. Ways in which these technologies are likely to shape testing are considered. (SLD)
