Psychometric Evaluation of Entry Assessment in Higher Education: A Case Study.

Peer reviewed

Berberoglu, Giray; And Others – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 1996

Addresses the central issue of test biases in college entrance examinations. Utilizes differential item functioning analysis (DIF) to compare types of questions, fields of knowledge, and male and female responses in Turkish entrance examinations. Reveals intermittent biases and suggests the tests be used more for assessment than selection. (MJP)
