Investigating the Impact of Response Format on the Performance of Grammar Tests: Selected and Constructed
When constructing a test, an initial decision is choosing an appropriate item response format which can be classified as selected or constructed. In large-scale tests where time and finance are of concern, the use of response chosen known as multiple-choice items is quite widespread. This study aimed at investigating the impact of response format on the performance of structure tests. Concurren...
متن کاملSome Block Designs Constructed from Resolvable Designs
LetD be a resolvable 2−(v, k, λ) design, andD′ be a 2−(v′, k′, λ′) design, such that v′ = v k . Further, let r and r′ be replication numbers of a point in D and D′, respectively. Shrikhande and Raghavarao proved that then there exists a 2 − (v′′, k′′, λ′′) design D′′, such that v′′ = v, k′′ = kk′ and λ′′ = r′λ + (r − λ)λ′. If D′ is resolvable, then D′′ is also resolvable. Applying this result, ...
متن کاملA rank-ordering method for equating tests by expert judgment.
This paper describes a new method of comparing the raw mark scales on two tests using expert judgment. The two tests do not need to have any common items, nor to be taken by common groups of candidates. This study used scripts (i.e., the complete work of a candidate on the test) from England's National Curriculum Test for Reading at Key Stage 3 (14-year olds) in 2003 and 2004. Each member of a ...
متن کاملQuorum Systems Constructed from Combinatorial Designs
A quorum system is a set system in which any two subsets have nonempty intersection. Quorum systems have been extensively studied as a method of maintaining consistency in distributed systems. Important attributes of a quorum system include the load, balancing ratio, rank (i.e., quorum size) and availability. Many constructions have been presented in the literature for quorum systems in which t...
متن کاملIncidence graphs constructed from t-designs
Let D be a non-trivial simple t-design. For 1 ≤ s ≤ t, we generalize the concept of the incidence graph of D and construct a new bipartite regular graph Γ. We obtain that the edge-transitivity of the graph Γ is equivalent to the s-flag-transitivity of the design D. We then, for s = 2, classify the semisymmetric graphs among the graphs Γ constructed from biplanes and triplanes. Finally, we study...
