Mastery of sixteen "life skills" tasks will be a Seattle Public Schools graduation requirement beginning in 1981. Five forms of the Minimum Competencies Performance Test, which will be used to measure mastery of those tasks, are presently being developed and field tested. This report presents the results of the analysis of the first…

Sirois, Herman A. – 1978
Using the constructs of Rogers, Ellis, and Barrett-Lennard, a twenty-five item Likert-type instrument, the Non-Directive Supervisory Behavior Scale, was developed to measure directive vs. non-directive supervisory behavior. One hundred ninety-five in-service teachers, randomly selected from two school districts, completed the twenty-five item…

Day, H. D.; Day, Kaaren C. – 1978
The Concepts about Print (Sand) and Record of Oral Language (ROL) tests were administered three times to 29 male and 27 female kindergarten children as part of a study to determine the reliability and concurrent validity of the tests. The Sand and Metropolitan Readiness Test (MRT) were administered to the returning participants (27 males and 24…

GOSLIN, DAVID A. – 1967
BESIDES QUESTIONS ABOUT THE VALIDITY OF TESTS AS PREDICTORS, AN IMPORTANT ISSUE IS THEIR SOCIAL EFFECTS IN FOUR AREAS--(1) THE INFLUENCE OF TEST SCORES ON THE OPPORTUNITIES OPEN TO INDIVIDUALS, (2) THE INFLUENCE OF TEST SCORES ON THE KINDS OF ADVICE GIVEN IN SCHOOLS AND COUNSELING AGENCIES, (3) THE EFFECTS OF SUCH "OBJECTIVE" INFORMATION ON AN…

This study was designed to factor analyze the correlation matrices of a number of studies utilizing the Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities (ITPA). All of the correlation matrices were analyzed on the same program using the same criteria. By this approach, it was possible to examine trends between studies. More factors tended to appear as…

Wright, John C.; And Others – 1978
This report evaluating the Kansas Reflection-Impulsivity Scale for Preschoolers (KRISP), developed as an easier task version of the Matching Familiar Figures Test for school-age children, presents an analysis of data on 1,408 children of widely varying backgrounds. Eighteen samples of children, ranging in age from 2 years and 5 months to 6 years…

Anderson, Edwin R. – 1975
This study measures the stability of performance exhibited where different computer programing classes study the same material. By focusing standard measurement techniques on the item difficulty (the proportion of students answering an item correctly), it was determined that up to two-thirds of the reliable variance of a classroom test is held in…

Tuckman, Bruce Wayne
Originally designed to provide teachers with feedback and also used as a quantitative tool for specifying teacher behavior consistent with a psychological model of teaching described by Tuckman (1974), the Tuckman Teacher Feedback Form (TTFF) is a 28-item semantic differential which generates four scores in the areas of creativity, dynamism…

Ory, John C.; Poggio, John P. – 1975
The construction of an objective, self-report, objectively-scored measure of achievement motivation is reported. Empirically keyed items were developed, reflecting empirical results found in a review of achievement motivation literature. An initial item pool consisting of 153 self-report items was administered using a matrix sampling approach to…

A Comparison of Reliabilities of Graphic and Semantic Differential Factors among Sixth Grade Pupils.
Pierson, Ellery M. – 1976
It was wished to determine the relative reliabilities of graphic and semantic differential factors to evaluate applicability of two rival models to the measurement of pupil attitudes. Data was collected from a sample of sixth grade pupils on both abstract graphic and typical semantic differential scales. Reliability estimates were constructed from…

PDF pending restorationLovett, Hubert T. – 1975
The reliability of a criterion referenced test was defined as a measure of the degree to which the test discriminates between an individual's level of performance and a predetermined criterion level. The variances of observed and true scores were defined as the squared deviation of the score from the criterion. Based on these definitions and the…

Caballero, Jane Alexis – 1975
This study involved a comparison of first and second grade students' performance on the Piagetian Task Administration Instrument (PTAI), the Metropolitan Readiness Test (MRT), and the Stanford Achievement Test (SAT) with actual reading achievement measured by placement on the Indiviudally Paced Instruction (IPI) Tracking Card in Reading, which was…

Marzano, Robert J. – 1975
The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability of the analytical method of grading essays in relation to the holistic method. It was hypothesized that the use of the analytic method to rate college composition papers produces high rater reliability at the expense of biasing the raters and thus lowering the validity of the grades. Six…

Andrulis, Richard S.; And Others – 1974
The purpose of this investigation was to establish the effects of repeaters on test equating. Since consideration was not given to repeaters in test equating, such as in the derivation of equations by Angoff (1971), the hypothetical effect needed to be established. A case study was examined which showed results on a test as expected; overall mean…
