Developing National Attainment Measures: A Study of Irish Experience.
Greaney, Vincent
International Review of Education, v26 n1 p3-16 1980
Recent experience of test development in Ireland, which had no tradition of formal standardized testing, is described, in order to highlight a number of practical and psychometric problems. It is pointed out that some conventional procedures for developing norm-referenced attainment tests have limitations, especially in countries with centralized curricula. (Author/SJL)
