College Faculty's Use of Objective Tests: State-of-the-Practice versus State-of-the-Art.

McDougall, Dennis

Journal of Research and Development in Education, v30 n3 p183-93 Spr 1997

Surveys of college faculty members' current use of objective tests indicated that most respondents (N=38) did not use state-of-the-art procedures associated with construction and analysis of objective tests. Many were unfamiliar with basic testing terms and tools and did not understand the meanings of the terms and tools. (SM)
