Multiple-Mark Items: An Alternative Objective Item Format?
Pomplun, Mark; Omar, Md Hafidz
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v57 n6 p949-62 Dec 1997
Four threats to validity of an alternative objective test item format, the multiple-mark format, were studied with data from a state-mandated assessment with about 30,000 students at each of three grade levels. Reliability and validity coefficients show that the format has promise as an objective format that can be aligned with new curriculum standards. (SLD)
