Some Measurement and Instruction Related Considerations Regarding Computer-Assisted Testing.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Oosterhof, Albert C.; Salisbury, David F. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 1985
The computer assisted testing (CAT) program at Florida State University's Assessment Resource Center is described. Three measurement issues (test quality, confidence in mastery decisions, and maintenance of test validity) and two instructional design issues (quality of instructional objectives and extended feedback following testing) important for…

Assessing the Utility of Item Response Models: Computerized Adaptive Testing.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kingsbury, G. Gage; Houser, Ronald L. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 1993
The utility of item response theory (IRT) models in computerized adaptive tests is considered. Measurement questions that have been answered using IRT, and those that might be overlooked because of IRT, are reviewed. Areas in which fuller use of IRT could improve adaptive testing practices are identified. (SLD)

Computerized Adaptive Testing with Different Groups.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Legg, Sue M.; Buhr, Dianne C. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 1992
Three computerized adaptive tests (CATs) in mathematics, reading, and writing were administered to 628 community college students to determine whether examinees of different ethnic, gender, ability, and age groups, and computer experience were differentially affected. Some differences exist; however, they do not preclude use of CATs. (SLD)
