The Measurement of Writing Ability with a Many-Faceted Rasch Model.
Engelhard, George, Jr.
Applied Measurement in Education, v5 n3 p171-91 1992
A Many-Faceted Rasch Model (FACETS) for measurement of writing ability is described, and its use in solving measurement problems in large-scale assessment is illustrated with a random sample of 1,000 students from Georgia's Eighth Grade Writing Test. It is a promising approach to assessment through written compositions. (SLD)
