Opis

In this volume prominent scholars from both psychology and education describe how these new rules of measurement work and how they differ from the old rules. Several contributors have been involved in the recent construction or revision of a major test, while others are well-known for their theoretical contributions to measurement. The goal is to provide an integrated yet comprehensive reference source concerned with contemporary issues and approaches in testing and measurement.

Recenzje

"Embretson and Hershberger have marshaled an impressive platoon of IRT and measurement experts whose chapters spark the imagination and challenge the ranks of measurement educators to do more than they have....It will remind you why you became interested in psychological measurement in the first place....this is overall a thoughtful and thought-provoking book."
