Author Index

Subject Index

"The second edition of Handbook of Test Development provides graduate students and professionals with an up-to-date, research-oriented guide to the latest developments in the field. Including 32 chapters by well-known scholars and practitioners, it is divided into five parts, covering the foundations of test development, content definition, item development, test design and form assembly, as well as the processes of test administration, documentation and evaluation. Keenly aware of developments in the field since the publication of the first edition, including changes in technology, the evolution of psychometric theory and the increased demands for effective tests via educational policy, the editors of this edition include new chapters on assessing noncognitive skills, measuring growth and learning progressions, automated item generation and test assembly and computerized scoring of constructed responses. The volume also includes expanded coverage of performance testing, validity, fairness and numerous other topics. -- Edited by Suzanne Lane, Mark R. Raymond and Thomas M. Haladyna, Handbook of Test Development, second edition, is based on the revised Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing, and is appropriate for graduate courses and seminars that deal with test development and usage, professional testing services and credentialing agencies, state and local boards of education and academic libraries serving these groups."
