Synopsis

This book is the most comprehensive treatment of the rationale and rules for multiple-choice item writing, the most useful format for measuring, and the research behind it. Treating the study of item responses in the framework of validity theory, this book: provides a conceptual basis for item writing; reviews the issue of constructed- versus selected-response testing; presents a variety of formats; provides guidance in developing items; offers a basis for reviewing, evaluating, and improving items; and speculates about the future of item development and validation.

Review

The book is well structured, and the purpose and focus of each chapter are well set out in the advance organizers at the beginning of each of the four main sections....this is a well researched book that serves a range of practitioners including those wanting to design automated and on-line testing.
