The Frequency and Quality of Measures Utilized in Federally-Sponsored Research on Children and Adolescents
Heyneman, Stephen P.; Mintz, Pamela Cope
American Educational Research Journal, 14, 2, 99-113, Spr 77
The relationship between an instrument's quality and the frequency of its use in federally funded educational research in 1975 was examined. Highly rated tests were found to be used more frequently, especially achievement, vocational, and intelligence tests. Highly rated reading and personality tests, however, were not used more often.
