An Introduction to Criterion-Referenced Measurement
Mots-clés :
criterion-referenced testing, educational measurement, student assessment, test construction, educational evaluation, mastery learning, test validity, test reliabilityRésumé
L'auteur présente et définit le concept de la mesure en fonction de critères; il analyse ce qui caractérise les tests en fonction de critères à partir de quatre points : leur élaboration, leur fiabilité et leur validité, leur application et le guide qui les accompagne. L'élaboration de ces tests comprend cinq étapes : la définition de la tâche, la composition des éléments, le choix d'un échantillon d'éléments, le choix de la longueur du test et de la note de réussite. On doit, dans le cas des tests en fonction de critères, modifier la notion que l'on a de la fiabilité et de la validité. On utilise habituellement ce genre de tests quand on n'a pas à comparer les élèves; on donne des exemples concrets. L'enseignant doit choisir entre élaborer lui-même le test ou l'acheter; l'auteur aborde cette alternative et donne quelques conseils pour l'achat de tests.
