The Logic of Criterion-Referenced Testing
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe thesis consists of five chapters. Chapter I includes an introduction to and motivation for the thesis. In Chapter II, the important features of CRT theory are outlined. The broadest characterization of CRT on which there is general consensus is that CR interpretations tell one what an examinee can or cannot do. The main contention of Chapter II is that the dominant approach to CRT relies on a statistical generalization model for its underlying logic. Differences among CRT theorists as to the nature of the elements in a universe or domain in CRT are pointed out. The three main candidates for universe elements are behaviors, items, and observations.
