Problem-Solving Correlates of New Assessment Forms in Architecture.

Martinez, Michael E.

Applied Measurement in Education, v6 n3 p167-80 1993

Figural response (FR) items in architecture were compared with multiple-choice (MC) counterparts for their ability to predict architectural problem-solving proficiency of 33 practicing architects, 34 architecture interns, and 53 architecture students. Although both FR and MC predicted verbal design problem solving, only FR scores predicted graphical problem solving. (SLD)
