The 1976 Educational Testing Service (ETS) Invitational |
|
Conference served as a platform for individuals who have |
|
been prominent in educational measurement and research to |
|
present their views on issues surrounding the testing |
|
controversy. The 1976 ETS "The Testing Scene: Chaos and |
|
Controversy," presents a historical review of events |
|
surrounding the testing controversy. In "Test Theory and |
|
the Public Interest," Frederic M. Lord suggested three |
|
alternatives for solving some of the problems of cultural |
|
test bias: weighted scoring techniques, tailored testing, |
|
and item sampling. Esther E. Diamond discussed test |
|
construction techniques that could alleviate bias, in |
|
"Testing: The Baby and the Bath Water Are Still With Us." |
|
In "One Man's View of Testing," William Raspberry stated |
|
that norming contributes to cultural bias. Thelma T. |
|
Daley discussed the effects of testing on students, in |
|
"The Student and Testing." In the final paper, "Where |
|
Ignorance Is Bliss--'Tis Folly to be Testing," Robert L. |
|
Thorndike recommended that tests be evaluated in light of |
|
the decisions that will be based upon their results. (BW) |
