[SOLVED] Evaluation of Test Materials and Procedures
“In Unit 2, you selected one standardized test that has relevancy to your
academic and professional goal and focused on the first four elements of the
Code for selecting a test. In Unit 5, you focused on the fifth element of the Code,
which involved analyzing the evidence for technical quality of your selected test.
In Chapters 7 and 8 of your Psychological Testing and Assessment text, you
have been learning about test utility, test development, item analysis, and using
tests in a variety of settings and with a variety of test takers. In this assignment,
you will apply those concepts to your selected test for the Code's sixth, seventh,
and eighth elements. The Code (2004) states that test users, "(6) evaluate
representative samples of test questions or practice tests, directions, answer
sheets, manuals, and score reports before selecting a test; (7) evaluate
procedures and materials used by the test developers, as well as the resulting
test, to ensure that potentially offensive content or language is avoided; and (8)
select tests with appropriately modified forms or administration procedures for
test takes with disabilities who need special accommodations."
For this assignment, locate a minimum of five resources (a minimum three peer-
reviewed journal articles) pertaining to your test's construction, item
development, procedures utilized in construction to minimize offensive content,
and provisions of modifications and accommodations for test takers. You will not
be required or need to have a copy of your test to complete this assignment. You
may use many different types of references and sources to obtain this
information about your test. These references may include journal articles,
literature reviews, MMY reviews, and publisher websites.
Information gathering and evaluation of these elements may require a keyword
search within each relevant review and research article. It may be helpful to do
keyword searches within those documents with the following
words: format, fair, fairness, bias, appropriate, accommodations, modifications,
and computer or computer assisted. Subsequently, this particular assignment
requires a deeper search and provides a broader range of sources to fulfill the
minimum references. In almost all cases, you will be able to locate some level of
information on these elements.
For some newer test editions, literature may be scarce. Refer back to the Lists of
Tests by Type document to see which tests are approved for supplementation
with articles that address earlier editions of the tests. If the "Combined Review
Allowed" column is marked "Yes," you can supplement your review with articles
addressing the designated prior version of the test.”
