Readers will learn by doing. Second it covers both the theory behind psychological assessment and the practicalities of locating designing and using tests and interpreting their scores. Finally it is evaluative. Rather than just describing concepts such as test reliability or adaptive testing it stresses the underlying principles merits and drawbacks of each approach to assessment and methods of developing and evaluating questionnaires and tests. Unusually for an introductory text it includes coverage of several cutting-edge techniques and this new edition expands the discussion on measurement invariance methods of detecting/quantifying bias and hierarchical factor models and features added sections on: Best practices for translation of tests into other languages and problems of cultural bias Automatic item generation The advantages drawbacks and practicalities of internet-based testing Generalizability theory Network analysis Dangerous assumptions made when scoring tests The accuracy of tests used for assessing individuals The two-way relationship between psychometrics and psychological theory Aimed at non-mathematicians this friendly and engaging text will help you to understand the fundamental principles of psychometrics that underpin the measurement of any human characteristic using any psychological test.

Statistics in Corpus Linguistics Research A New Approach

Statistics in Corpus Linguistics Research A New Approach

Traditional approaches focused on significance tests have often been difficult for linguistics researchers to visualise. Statistics in Corpus Linguistics Research: A New Approach breaks these significance tests down for researchers in corpus linguistics and linguistic analysis promoting a visual approach to understanding the performance of tests with real data and demonstrating how to derive new intervals and tests. Accessibly written this book discusses the ‘why’ behind the statistical model allowing readers a greater facility for choosing their own methodologies. Accessibly written for those with little to no mathematical or statistical background it explains the mathematical fundamentals of simple significance tests by relating them to confidence intervals. With sample datasets and easy-to-read visuals this book focuses on practical issues such as how to: • pose research questions in terms of choice and constraint; • employ confidence intervals correctly (including in graph plots); • select optimal significance tests (and what results mean); • measure the size of the effect of one variable on another; • estimate the similarity of distribution patterns; and • evaluate whether the results of two experiments significantly differ. Appropriate for anyone from the student just beginning their career to the seasoned researcher this book is both a practical overview and valuable resource. | Statistics in Corpus Linguistics Research A New Approach

Assessment Policy Reform

Assessment Policy Reform

This book highlights the impact of policy and politics on assessment across the globe. With contributions from England the Irish Republic Northern Ireland Norway Sweden Switzerland and Wales it explores state-led assessment policies and practices that have been the subject of much debate. We are experiencing a shift from using assessments — especially national tests — as measurement instruments designed to produce information to a reliance on tests to influence policy and instruction. Once tests become high stakes — for students teachers and schools — even those that might have been reasonable monitors of educational success can lose dependability and credibility. However not all countries’ assessment policies follow the same model and the contributors explore and analyse a range of different national (and supra-national) assessment policy approaches and perspectives. The chapters identify the impetus behind changing assessment policies and practices and analyse ways forward and innovative approaches. Readers can draw their own conclusions about which model(s) can provide the best outcomes for learners – surely the most important part of the equation. This book was originally published as a special issue of Assessment in Education: Principles Policy & Practice. | Assessment Policy Reform

Culture and General Education A Survey

Culture and General Education A Survey

Originally published in 1963 this remarkable book discusses the results of the ‘tests of culture’ devised by the author two of which when published in The Times Educational Supplement evoked such wide interest that he was almost overwhelmed with unsolicited test scores and correspondence. The late Kenneth Richmond was well aware that any attempt to ‘measure culture’ was open to ridicule. He makes it clear that he is concerned to measure it in its restricted sense of ‘academic or minority culture’ and he holds that there is a body of received opinion on the content of such culture which in the contemporary world is represented by two areas those of the scientists and of the literary intellectuals and that it is possible to pose questions that will test a person’s acquaintance with each. So the tests are no mere quizzes; the results from Universities Colleges the Services and Sixth Forms are often surprising sometimes disquieting in the light they throw on standards of general education at the time and on the ‘great divide’ between the scientist and the arts man. | Culture and General Education A Survey
