Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing

Written for the professional and the educated lay person, this work constitutes a valuable reference for professional test developers, sponsors, publishers, users, and students in the fields of education and psychology. The book provides guidelines on constructing performance tests, questionnaires, and structured behaviour samples. This edition includes an expanded section on test usage; chapters on the rights of test takers and on testing linguistic minorities; an approach to categorising standards (as "primary" or "secondary"); and an easy-to-use format. This edition also includes a glossary of terms used throughout the "Standards", as well as terms common to testing in general.
