Direct linkGluga, Richard; Kay, Judy; Lister, Raymond; Kleitman, Simon; Kleitman, Sabina – Computer Science Education, 2013
To design an effective computer science curriculum, educators require a systematic method of classifying the difficulty level of learning activities and assessment tasks. This is important for curriculum design and implementation and for communication between educators. Different educators must be able to use the method consistently, so that…

The relationship between the multiple-choice and free-response sections of the Computer Science and Chemistry tests of the College Board's Advanced Placement program was studied. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the free-response sections measure the same underlying proficiency as the multiple-choice sections for the most part. However,…

Peer reviewedBennett, Randy Elliot; And Others – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1990
The relationship of an expert-system-scored constrained free-response item type to multiple-choice and free-response items was studied using data for 614 students on the College Board's Advanced Placement Computer Science (APCS) Examination. Implications for testing and the APCS test are discussed. (SLD)

Peer reviewedThissen, David; And Others – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1994
Restricted factor analysis shows that the multiple-choice and free-response sections of the Computer Science and Chemistry Advanced Placement examinations (College Board) measure the same proficiencies for the most part. There is a small degree of multidimensionality because of local dependence among free-response items. (SLD)

Braun, Henry I.; And Others – 1989
The use of constructed response items in large scale standardized testing has been hampered by the costs and difficulties associated with obtaining reliable scores. The advent of expert systems may signal the eventual removal of this impediment. This study investigated the accuracy with which expert systems could score a new, non-multiple choice…
