Effects of Empirical Option Weighting on Estimating Domain Scores and Making Pass/Fail Decisions.

Peer reviewed

Haladyna, Thomas M. – Applied Measurement in Education, 1990

Number-correct scoring was compared to empirical option weighting for estimating domain scores and making pass/fail decisions that are typical of certification, licensing, competency, and proficiency testing. The usefulness of the option-total correlation option-weighting method was illustrated with a sample of 1,000 high school students. (SLD)

Results show that all three test types were used to some extent in eight decision categories, but none of the tests were clearly dominant. (SLD)
