The Effect of a Scoring System Based on the Algorithm Underlying the Students' Response Patterns on the Dimensionality of Achievement Test Data of the Problem Solving Type.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Birenbaum, Menucha; Fatsuoka, Kikumi K. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1983
The outcomes of two scoring methods (one based on an error analysis and the second on a conventional method) on free-response tests, compared in terms of reliability and dimensionality, indicates the conventional method is inferior in both aspects. (Author/PN)

On the Dimensionality of Achievement Test Data.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Birenbaum, Menucha; Tatsuoka, Kikumi – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1982
Empirical results from two studies--a simulation study and an experimental one--indicated that, in achievement data of the problem-solving type where a specific subject matter area is being tested, the greater the variety of the algorithms used, the higher the dimensionality of the test data.
