Oosterhof, Albert; Rohani, Faranak; Sanfilippo, Carol; Stillwell, Peggy; Hawkins, Karen – Online Submission, 2008
In assessment, the ability to construct test items that measure a targeted skill is fundamental to validity and alignment. The ability to do the reverse is also important: determining what skill an existing test item measures. This paper presents a model for classifying test items that builds on procedures developed by others, including Bloom…
