"Test Scoring" provides a summary of traditional true score test
theory and modern item response theory related to scoring tests, as
well as novel developments resulting from the integration of these
approaches. The background material introduced in the first four
chapters builds a foundation for the new developments covered in
later chapters. These new methods offer alternative psychometric
approaches to scoring complex assessments.
Each of the book's contributors draws from the classic literature
of traditional test theory, as well as psychometric developments of
the past decade. The emphasis is on large-scale educational
measurement but the topics and procedures may be applied broadly
within many measurement contexts.
Numerous graphs and illustrative examples based on real tests and
actual data are integrated throughout. This multi-authored volume
shows the reader how to combine the coded outcomes on individual
test items into a numerical summary about the examinee's
performance.
This book is intended for researchers and students in education
and other social sciences interested in educational assessment and
policy, the design and development of tests, and the procedures for
test administration and scoring. Prerequisites include an
introduction to educational and psychological measurement and basic
statistics. Knowledge of differential and integral calculus and
matrix algebra is helpful but not required.
