This book introduces and explores major topics in contemporary educational measurement: criterion-referenced testing, item response theory (IRT), computer-based testing, cross-lingual and cross-cultural assessment, and accountability testing. Psychometric experts describe forward-looking measurement practices and provide a contextualized understanding of how and why they were developed, how they can be used, and where they may go in the future. In addition to presenting key concepts and formulas, the volume covers established and emerging applications and discusses recurrent challenges that require additional research. A helpful glossary of abbreviations is included. The book is grounded in the work of Ronald K. Hambleton.

Excerpt from Educational Measurements It is undoubtedly premature to write a book on educational measurements, because most of the measurements are in the experimental stage. There are, however, several reasons which more than offset this situation. In the first place, the need of definite, objective measures of educational products is so great and the usefulness of the present available standard tests has been so generally demonstrated that a means of making the tests and scales more widely accessible is entirely justifiable. Second, the very fact that many of the tests are in the experimental stage is a reason for making them more generally available, so that they may be rectified, improved and extended through broader cooperation of educators over the entire country. Third, it is hoped that more general application of educational measurements will create a deeper scientific interest in educational matters. The current movement for measuring school products is one of the three or four most important fields of investigation in the scientific study of educational problems. Very material progress has been made during the last half a dozen years in the endeavor to devise accurate methods for measuring the actual achievements of pupils in school studies, so that we now have fairly accurate tests and scales for measuring attainment in most of the elementary schools studies and in several high school subjects. It is unnecessary to point out the scientific and practical value of such investigations for all who are connected with the schools - administrators, supervisors, teachers, pupils and students of educational problems.

Several key developments challenge the field of educational measurement today: demands for tests at larger scales with higher stakes, an improved understanding of how people develop capabilities, and new technologies for interactive digital assessments. Sociocognitive Foundations of Educational Measurement integrates new developments in educational measurement and educational psychology in order to provide researchers, testing professionals, and students with an innovative sociocognitive perspective on assessment. This comprehensive volume begins with a broad explanation of the sociocognitive perspective and the foundations of assessment, then provides a series of focused applications to major topics such as assessment arguments, validity, fairness, interactive assessment, and a conception of "measurement" in educational assessment. Classical test theory, item response theory, categorical models, mixture models, cognitive diagnosis models, and Bayesian networks are explored from the resulting perspective. Ideal for specialists in these areas, graduate students, developers, and scholars in both educational measurement and fields that contribute to a sociocognitive perspective, this book consolidates nearly a decade of research into a fresh perspective on educational measurement.
