Using Bilingual Respondents To Evaluate Translated-Adapted Items.

Sireci, Stephen G.; Berberoglu, Giray

Applied Measurement in Education, v13 n3 p229-48 2000

Studied a method for investigating the equivalence of translated-adapted items using bilingual test takers through item response theory. Results from an English-Turkish course evaluation form completed by 688 Turkish students indicate that the methodology is effective in flagging items that function differentially across languages and informing test development.
