The chapters in this new volume describe original research
concerned with both theory and practice in measurement. The
material originated in presentations made at a conference that
brings together practicing professionals and theoreticians in
diverse areas of measurement and related fields. The first group of
papers embody the most important aspect of objective measurement -
its application to diverse contexts and purposes. The examples
included concentrate on two types of situations: performance
assessment and criterion-referenced testing. The specific contexts
range from writing assessment, to assessment of the professional
development of teachers, to high school physics. The second group
of papers are focused on an area of great importance in assessment
today: the modeling of raters and judges in an assessment context.
The volume concludes with papers that explore the domain of theory
in measurement, characterized by an innovative approach to
model-building. Even though they are categorized as theory papers,
most are based on the complicated and interesting problems that
arise in quite specific contexts. As such, they represent some of
the most original and exciting developments in the field of
measurement today ranging from multidimensional measurement to
graph theory and clustering techniques. This volume presents
original research concerned with the practice of measurement, and
the theory of measurement. The words in the title, objective
measurement indicate that the chapters are all related to a
particular approach to the philosophy and practice of measurement.
By objective measurement, we mean that, in a situation where a
certain class of stimuli (for example, items) are used to measure
certain individuals. The chapters in this book originated in
presentations made at the International Objective Measurement
Workshop (IOMW) devoted to exploring the interface between theory
and practice in measurement. Based on the complicated and
interesting problems that arise in quite specific contexts, they
represent some of the most original and exciting developments in
the field of measurement today.
