Reliability and Decision Consistency: An Analysis of Writing Mode at Two Times on a Statewide Test.

Peer reviewed

Hollenbeck, Keith; Tindal, Gerald; Almond, Patricia – Educational Assessment, 1999

Studied the amount of measurement error in a state's performance-based writing task as it relates to high-stakes decision reproducibility. Using 175 eighth-grade writing samples, the study finds moderate correlations between the two raters' scores, with significant differences for the rates for the handwritten, but not the typed, essays.(SLD)
