The Reliabilities and The Cost-Efficiencies of Three Methods of Assessment for Writing Ability: An Empirical Inquiry

Abstract

dc:description

Assessing achievement in writing ability from large numbers of essays is often an unreliable and time-consuming task. The extent to which these factors are problematic depends upon which conceptualization of this skill different raters adhere to during the grading process. The present investigation compares the reliabilities and cost-efficiencies of three methods of assessment, where each one conceptualizes writing ability differently.
