Test Bias and Hispanic Children.
Figueroa, Richard A.
Journal of Special Education, v17 n4 p431-40 Win 1983
This study examines the model typically used in item analyses of bias with Hispanics. It is shown that the model fails to demonstrate bias even for children who come from the Spanish-speaking homes. The author suggests that the model's implicit assumptions about how cultures interact may be incorrect. (Author/CL)
