Zusammenfassung:This report is an interim document dealing with development of a Criterion-Referenced Test (CRT) Construction Manual. The major objectives of the study were the development of an easy-to-use, 'how-to-do-it' manual to assist Army test developers in the construction of CRTs, and the identification of needed research to help achieve a more consistent, unified criterion-referenced test model. In order to accomplish these objectives, the study: surveyed the literature on criterion-referenced testing in order to provide an information base for development of the CRT Construction Manual; visited selected Army posts to review the present status of criterion-referenced test construction and application in the Army; prepared a draft CRT construction manual; conducted a trial application of the draft manual; and revised the CRT construction manual. The manual for developing criterion-referenced tests has been published as an ARI Special Publication: Guidebook for Developing Criterion-Referenced Tests.
