I'm getting ready to give my measurement class an assignment that involves
writing a test critique. We've already covered the basics of norms,
reliability, validity, etc. as well as an introduction to locating existing
test reviews. My problem is that I would really like them to have a chance
to look at test manuals, booklets, etc. However, since this is my first
time teaching the course, I don't have a test file for them to use as a
resource. I was wondering how other people who teach measurement/assessment
courses handle this.
I've already tried contacting the head of the counseling center (who used
to teach this course, and in fact gave me this same assignment a few years
back) but I haven't heard back from him yet.
So, the big questions are: Do you have students look at test manuals,
booklets, etc when writing test critiques? If so, where do they get access
to these materials or are they on their own to locate them? Any help is
greatly appreciated.
Struggling with obstacles I should have seen coming...
