Item Generation for Test Development cover

Since the mid-80s several laboratories around the world have been developing techniques for the operational use of tests derived from item-generation. According to the experts, the major thrust of test development in the next decade will be the harnessing of item generation technology to the production of computer developed tests. This is expected to revolutionize the way in which tests are constructed and delivered.

This book is a compilation of the papers presented at a symposium held at ETS in Princeton, attended by the world's foremost experts in item-generation theory and practice. Its goal is to present the major applications of cognitive principles in the construction of ability, aptitude, and achievement tests. It is an intellectual contribution to test development that is unique, with great potential for changing the ways tests are generated. The intended market includes professional educators and psychologists interested in test generation.

"Item Generation for Test Development is an achievement in the field of psychometrics. The compilation of the efforts made by the book's authors serve as a resource and inspiration to educators and psychologists who strive to create solid, secure, convenient parallel tests. Individuals who want to learn more about designing rigorous tests with parallel forms should read this book."
