Overlap: What's Tested, What's Taught?

Leinhardt, Gaea; Seewald, Andrea Mar

Journal of Educational Measurement, v18 n2 p85-96 Sum 1981

In studying the effectiveness of different instructional programs, a criterion measure can favor one of the programs because there is greater overlap between the content covered on the test and in that program. This overlap can be measured using teacher estimates or teacher estimates combined with curriculum analysis. (Author/BW)
