Curriculum Biasing Effects in Standardized and Criterion-Referenced Reading Achievement Tests.

Webster, Raymond E.; And Others

Psychology in the Schools, v23 n2 p205-13 Apr 1986

Extent of curriculum bias was analyzed using seven standardized and criterion-referenced reading achievement tests. Bias was examined relative to five commercial reading programs at the third-grade level. Results indicated that the degree of bias varied widely depending on the specific test and program used for reading instruction. (Author/ABB)
