1st Edition
by W. Holmes Finch (Author), Brian F. French (Author)
This new text provides the most current coverage of measurement and
psychometrics in a single volume. Authors W. Holmes Finch and Brian F.
French first review the basics of psychometrics and measurement, before
moving on to more complex topics such as equating and scaling, item
response theory, standard setting, and computer adaptive testing. Also
included are discussions of cutting-edge topics utilized by
practitioners in the field, such as automated test development,
game-based assessment, and automated test scoring. This book is ideal
for use as a primary text for graduate-level psychometrics/measurement
courses, as well as for researchers in need of a broad resource for
understanding test theory.
Features:
- "How
it Works" and "Psychometrics in the Real World" boxes break down
important concepts through worked examples, and show how theory can be
applied to practice.
- End-of-chapter exercises
allow students to test their comprehension of the material, while
suggested readings and website links provide resources for further
investigation.
