Peer reviewedStecher, Brian M.; Klein, Stephen P. – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 1997
Estimates of the costs of including hands-on measures of science skills in a large-scale assessment program were derived from a field trial involving more than 2,000 fifth and sixth graders. Results suggest that complexity makes hands-on assessments more than three times as expensive as open-ended writing assessments. (SLD)
