Study Notes
Measurement Frameworks
- Two major frameworks for measurement exist: norm-referenced and criterion-referenced.
- Norm-referenced measures evaluate a subject's performance relative to a comparison group.
- Criterion-referenced measures evaluate a subject's performance relative to a predetermined criterion.
Norm-Referenced Measures
- Used when evaluating subject performance relative to a comparison group.
- Examples include studies on trust, mistrust, racial identity, patient satisfaction in urban African American primary care patients, effects of homelessness and gender on personal resources, and cognitive-perceptual factors among homeless youths.
Criterion-Referenced Measures
- Used when determining a subject's performance relative to a predetermined criterion.
- Examples include analyses of test consistency in severity classifications for children with language impairment, assessing whether norm-referenced equations apply to patients with congestive heart failure, and evaluating whether subscores of a test battery account for more variance than a single variable.
Measurement Design Strategies
- Norm-referenced and criterion-referenced measures utilize different strategies.
- Designing norm-referenced measures involves selecting a conceptual model, explicating objectives, and developing procedures for the measure.
- Aspects of the measure include administration, item sets, and scoring rules.
- Criteria and objectives need clear definition for validity and reliability.
Cognitive, Affective, and Psychomotor Domains
- Taxonomies describe mental operations.
- Bloom's taxonomy (1956) outlines the cognitive domain (knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation).
- Krathwohl, Bloom, and Masia's (1964) taxonomy outlines the affective domain.
- Fitts's (1962, 1964) scheme outlines the psychomotor domain with phases: cognitive, fixation, and autonomous.
Measurement Item Formats
- Selection-type items (e.g., multiple choice, true/false) require selecting from a list of options.
- Supply-type items require respondents to provide their own answers (e.g., explaining, summarizing).
- Different item types are useful for different purposes.
- Considerations for choosing an item format include: the desired outcome(s), the setting, respondent characteristics (e.g., prior knowledge, literacy), and available resources.
