[IPAC-List] Sensitivity Reviews

[Patrick McCoy]

Hello Dennis:

Probably not much out there.  You may have thought of these sources already but thought i would list them any way:

- ETS (1980). An approach for identifying and minimizing bias in standardized tests: A set of guidelines.

- Englehard,G., Jr., Hansche,L., & Rutlege,K. (1990). Accuracy of bias review judges in identifying differential item functioning on teacher certification tests. Applied Measurement in Education, 347-360.

- Prescriptions on general item writing and review-e.g., Osterlind, S.J. (1989). Constructing test items. Boston: Kluwer Academic Publishers.

Hope these references are of some value.

I am giving a talk next week at MAPAC and part of my talk (as usual I am
probably going to be trying to cram a 4 hour talk into 1.5 hours, deals with
sensitivity reviews of tests.

 

Other than the work of Anne Marie Ryan and colleagues at Michigan State and
a few book chapters or ETS documents, there does not seem to be anything out
there on sensitivity reviews.

 

Anything anyone want to share in terms of:

 

Good resources?

 

Articles?

 

Your own guidelines or procedures?
