1	A New Approach to Measurement of Partial Knowledge Wagner, David E. 08 1900 (has links) The problem of this study is that of developing a testing procedure for multiple-choice tests which would increase the relationship between test scores and a criterion. The procedure investigated in this research was one in which subjects took a multiple-choice test but were required to continue responding on each item until the correct answer was obtained. The total number of responses was used as the score on the test. The purpose of this research was to investigate the possibility of increasing predictability by changing the procedure of administering the test, rather than changing the test itself. partial knowledge multiple-choice tests
2	Hodnocení testových úloh z teorie paraglidingu pro uchazeče o pilotní licenci / Evaluation of paragliding theory test items for pilot license applicants Šťastná, Johana January 2011 (has links) EVALUATION OF PARAGLIDING THEORY TEST ITEMS FOR PILOT LICENSE APPLICANTS Objectives: The aim of this work is to evaluate and optimize a set of paragliding the theoretical items appropriate for testing pilot license applicants of LAA ČR. Methods: This aim is realized by means of the theory of testing. Basic methods of testing form the background research of this work. The items were de- signed as multiple-choice, to select one correct answer. These items were assigned to the applicants for pilot licenses and were evaluated by the apparatus of testing. Microsoft Excel 2003 was used for collecting data and results evaluation. The computation according to the formulas in the theoretical part was performed in Matlab 2007b. Based on this analysis, the results were presented and optimization of these items was proposed. Results: Three hypotheses were examined in this work. The first dealt with a rela- tion between evaluated difficulty of test items and their points value, which was assigned by the LAA ČR. The second hypothesis concerned the number of used distractors. The third hypothesis was focused on the sensitivity of the items. The evaluated difficulty of test items matched items point value in 26 % of the number of items. 92 % of the alterna- tives were used and sufficient sensitivity had 78 % of...
