Gierl, Mark J.

Examines the effects of differential item functioning (DIF) between males and females on the June 1996 administration of the Alberta Education Social Studies 30 Diploma Examination. Reveals that the majority of the multiple-choice items did not display DIF when males and females were compared, and only one item was associated with bias. (CMK)
