The Effect of a Scoring System Based on the Algorithm Underlying the Students' Response Patterns on the Dimensionality of Achievement Test Data of the Problem Solving Type.

Birenbaum, Menucha; Fatsuoka, Kikumi K.

Journal of Educational Measurement, v20 n1 p17-26 Spr 1983

The outcomes of two scoring methods (one based on an error analysis and the second on a conventional method) on free-response tests, compared in terms of reliability and dimensionality, indicates the conventional method is inferior in both aspects. (Author/PN)
