The study investigated the feasibility of adapting the coefficient k introduced by Cohen (1960) and elaborated by Swaminathan, Hambleton, and Algina (1974) to an internal consistency estimate for criterion referenced tests in single test administrations. The authors proposed the use of k as an internal consistency estimate by logically dividing…

Peer reviewedHamer, Robert; Young, Forrest W. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1978
TESTER, a computer program which produces individualized objective tests from a pool of items, is described. Available in both PL/1 and FORTRAN, TESTER may be executed either interactively or in batch. (Author/JKS)

Tinari, Frank D. – Improving College and University Teaching, 1979
Computerized analysis of multiple choice test items is explained. Examples of item analysis applications in the introductory economics course are discussed with respect to three objectives: to evaluate learning; to improve test items; and to help improve classroom instruction. Problems, costs and benefits of the procedures are identified. (JMD)

Shuford, Emir H., Jr.; Brown, Thomas A. – 1974
A student's choice of an answer to a test question is a coarse measure of his knowledge about the subject matter of the question. Much finer measurement might be achieved if the student were asked to estimate, for each possible answer, the probability that it is the correct one. Such a procedure could yield two classes of benefits: (a) students…
