Precision and Differential Item Functioning on a Testlet-Based Test: The 1991 Law School Admissions Test as an Example |
| |
| Abstract: | Because citizens continue to demand educational accountability, it is unlikely that basic skills testing in the high schools will dissipate over the next few years. However, changes will be made in testing methodology and content. Educators and citizens will debate whether to raise minimum competency requirements as students' scores increase over time. Tests will be revised to include more than just reading, writing, and arithmetic. Advances will be seen in the collection and transmission of test data through new computer technology. Statewide student data bases will be developed. High-school course testing and state-by-state achievement testing will be introduced. The worth and financial cost of mandated testing programs will continue to be discussed. |
