The rising reliance on testing in American education and for
licensure and certification has been accompanied by an escalation
in cheating on tests at all levels. Edited by two of the foremost
experts on the subject, the Handbook of Quantitative Methods for
Detecting Cheating on Tests offers a comprehensive compendium of
increasingly sophisticated data forensics used to investigate
whether or not cheating has occurred. Written for practitioners,
testing professionals, and scholars in testing, measurement, and
assessment, this volume builds on the claim that statistical
evidence often requires less of an inferential leap to conclude
that cheating has taken place than do other, more common sources of
evidence. This handbook is organized into sections that roughly
correspond to the kinds of threats to fair testing represented by
different forms of cheating. In Section I, the editors outline the
fundamentals and significance of cheating, and they introduce the
common datasets to which chapter authors' cheating detection
methods were applied. Contributors describe, in Section II, methods
for identifying cheating in terms of improbable similarity in test
responses, preknowledge and compromised test content, and test
tampering. Chapters in Section III concentrate on policy and
practical implications of using quantitative detection methods.
Synthesis across methodological chapters as well as an overall
summary, conclusions, and next steps for the field are the key
aspects of the final section.
