An Evaluation of Available Models for Estimating the Reliability and Validity of Criterion Referenced Measures.

Oakland, Thomas

New strategies for evaluation criterion referenced measures (CRM) are discussed. These strategies examine the following issues: (1) the use of normed referenced measures (NRM) as CRM and then estimating the reliability and validity of such measures in terms of variance from an arbitrarily specified criterion score, (2) estimation of the reliability of single item tests, and (3) the modified use of item analyses as a means of judging the efficacy of instruction.
