Walker, Clinton B. – 1978
Standards for evaluating criterion-referenced tests are presented. Twenty-one standards, grouped in three categories, are discussed. Category one is defined as measurement properties and is comprised of conceptual validity, including description of the domain, test item agreement with objectives, and item representativeness of the objectives; and…

Garcia-Quintana, Roan A.; Ryan, Joseph P. – 1979
A sixth-grade mathematics test was evaluated in two different ways, and the evaluations were compared. One method of evaluation was to use the Rasch model for item analysis and to accept or reject items on the basis of the extent to which the data fit the model. The other method of evaluation was to ask school superintendents and teachers to rate…

Haladyna, Tom; Roid, Gale – 1980
An empirical review of test items is described as an essential step in criterion-referenced test development. The concept of test items' instructional sensitivity is introduced, and research is briefly reviewed which describes four theoretical contexts in which instructional sensitivity indexes have been observed: criterion-referenced; classical…

The success of objectives-based programs depends to a considerable extent on how effectively students and teachers assess mastery of objectives and make decisions for future instruction. While educators disagree on the usefulness of criterion-referenced tests the position taken in this monograph is that criterion-referenced tests are useful, and…

Gentile, J. Ronald – 1971
A comparison is drawn between norm-referenced (or competitive) and criterion-referenced testing procedures as used for the purpose of assessing and grading knowledge gained from teaching. It is argued that competitive or norm-referenced grading practices are sadistic, unethical, statistically unsound, and irrelevant to course objectives.…

Wahlstrom, Merlin W.; Danley, Raymond R. – 1979
Fifty-four standardized tests and subtests are examined, including achievement batteries, specific domain tests, and criterion-referenced tests. Individual test items are examined for their relationship to curriculum objectives developed by the Ministry of Education, Ontario for grades 7, 8, 9, and 10. The objectives are examined in four subject…
