Advancing Human Assessment: A Synthesis Over Seven Decades. 330 $aThis book is open access under a CC BY-NC 2.5 license. This book describes the extensive contributions made toward the advancement of human assessment by scientists from one of the world?s leading research institutions, Educational Testing Service. The book?s four major sections detail research and development in measurement and statistics, education policy analysis and evaluation, scientific psychology, and validity. Many of the developments presented have become de-facto standards in educational and psychological measurement, including in item response theory (IRT), linking and equating, differential item functioning (DIF), and educational surveys like the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), the Programme of international Student Assessment (PISA), the Progress of International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) and the Trends in Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). In addition to its comprehensive coverage of contributions to the theory and methodology of educational and psychological measurement and statistics, the book gives significant attention to ETS work in cognitive, personality, developmental, and social psychology, and to education policy analysis and program evaluation. The chapter authors are long-standing experts who provide broad coverage and thoughtful insights that build upon decades of experience in research and best practices for measurement, evaluation, scientific psychology, and education policy analysis. Opening with a chapter on the genesis of ETS and closing with a synthesis of the enormously diverse set of contributions made over its 70-year history, the book is a useful resource for all interested in the improvement of human assessment. 410 0$aMethodology of Educational Measurement and Assessment,$x2367-170X 606 $aAssessment 606 $aPsychometrics 606 $aStatistics  606 $aEducational policy 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aAssessment, Testing and Evaluation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O33000 606 $aPsychometrics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y43000 606 $aStatistical Theory and Methods$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/S11001 606 $aEducational Policy and Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O19000 606 $aStatistics for Social Sciences, Humanities, Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/S17040 615 0$aAssessment. 615 0$aPsychometrics. 615 0$aStatistics . 615 0$aEducational policy. 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 14$aAssessment, Testing and Evaluation. 615 24$aPsychometrics. 615 24$aStatistical Theory and Methods. 615 24$aEducational Policy and Politics. 615 24$aStatistics for Social Sciences, Humanities, Law. 676 $a371.26 702 $aBennett$b Randy E$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $avon Davier$b Matthias$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910231245003321 996 $aAdvancing Human Assessment$92234744 997 $aUNINA
