The Concurrent Validity of Standardized Achievement Tests by Content Area Using Teachers' Ratings as Criteria.

Hopkins, Kenneth D.; And Others

Journal of Educational Measurement, v22 n3 p177-82 Fall 1985

Forty-two fourth- and fifth-grade teachers rated their 1,032 students in the five curricular subjects: reading, mathematics, language arts, science, and social science. The teachers' ratings substantially agreed with students' scores on the Comprehensive Tests of Basic Skills, indicating the concurrent validity of standardized achievement tests. (Author/GDC)
