Evaluating the Quality of Ratings Obtained from Standard- Setting Judges.
Engelhard, George, Jr.; Stone, Gregory E.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v58 n2 p179-96 Apr 1998
A new approach based on Rasch measurement theory is described for examining the quality of ratings from standard-setting judges. Ratings of nine judges for 213 items on a nursing examination show that judges vary in their views of the essential items for nursing certification, with statistically significant variability in the judged essentiality of these items.
