Test items and test construction

http://www.gre.org/resdevelop.html

This paper discusses optimal test construction, which deals with the selection of items from a pool to construct a test that performs optimally with respect to the objective of the test and simultaneously meets all test specifications. Optimal test construction problems can be formulated as mathematical decision models. Algorithms and heuristics have been developed to solve the models that can be used to construct tests.

Balanced assessment

http://searcheric.org/ericdc/ED426059.htm

To say that assessments must be authentic, dynamic, fluid, and formative is not to say that normative, standardized evaluations have no place in the overall assessment scheme. What is needed is a combination and balance of assessments. The tri-assessment model promotes using traditional assessments along with portfolio and performance assessments. All three of these methods, as part of the tri-assessment model, use the multiple intelligences theory of H. Gardner to ensure the formative assessment of growth and development and the normative evaluation of grades and rankings.
