7. 20. Test Design for Mean Ability Growth and Optimal Item Calibration for Achievement Tests

   Författare :Jonas Bjermo; Frank Miller; Marie Wiberg; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; test design; item response theory; optimal experimental design; SweSAT; item calibration; vertical scaling; ability growth; computerized adaptive tests; Statistics; statistik;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis, we examine two topics in the area of educational measurement. The first topic studies how to best design two achievement tests with common items such that a population mean-ability growth is measured as precisely as possible. The second examines how to calibrate newly developed test items optimally. LÄS MER
