Description

� Your students will get valuable practice in interpreting actual excerpts from published test manuals. � Each of the 39 exercises begins with a guideline that helps students review the measurement concepts they will need in order to complete the exercise. � Background notes on each exercise describe the purpose of the test from which the excerpt was drawn. � Students answer questions that require them to locate and interpret important points in the excerpt. � The excerpts are largely unabridged so that students practice interpreting material as it is actually presented by test makers. � The skills they learn with this book can be easily transferred to other test manuals they may be using in the future. � Students have an ethical responsibility to be thoroughly familiar with the technical characteristics of the tests they will use. This book prepares them for this responsibility. � All major topics are covered, including: � validity � reliability � standard error of measurement � norm group composition � derived scores � scales to detect faking � item analysis � cultural bias � The excerpts are drawn from tests such as: � Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children � Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test � 16PF � Stanford Binet Intelligence Scale � MMPI � Beck Depression Inventory � Stanford Achievement Test Series � KeyMath � and many others!Typham this is the title: Comprehending Test Manuals A Guide and Workbook 1st Edition
