This study presents a comparative analysis of classical reliability measures, including Cronbach's alpha, test-retest, and parallel forms reliability, alongside modern psychometric methods such as the Rasch model and Mokken scaling, to evaluate the reliability of C-tests in language proficiency assessment. Utilizing data from 150 participants…

The purpose of this study was to estimate the overall reliability values for the scores produced by Runco Ideational Behavior Scale (RIBS) and explore the variability of RIBS score reliability across studies. To achieve this, a reliability generalization meta-analysis was carried out using the 86 Cronbach's alpha estimates obtained from 77 studies…

Liao, Ray J. T. – Language Testing, 2023
Among the variety of selected response formats used in L2 reading assessment, multiple-choice (MC) is the most commonly adopted, primarily due to its efficiency and objectiveness. Given the impact of assessment results on teaching and learning, it is necessary to investigate the degree to which the MC format reliably measures learners' L2 reading…

Borsman, Denny; Romeijn, Jan-Willem; Wicherts, Jelte M. – Psychological Methods, 2008
This article shows that measurement invariance (defined in terms of an invariant measurement model in different groups) is generally inconsistent with selection invariance (defined in terms of equal sensitivity and specificity across groups). In particular, when a unidimensional measurement instrument is used and group differences are present in…

McCowan, Richard J.; McCowan, Sheila C. – Online Submission, 1999
This paper describes major concepts related to item analysis for criterion-referenced tests including validity, reliability, item difficulty, and item discrimination, particularly in relation to criterion-referenced tests. The paper discussed how these concepts can be used to revise and improve items and listed suggestions regarding general…
