DEVELOPING AND VALIDATING TEST ITEMS
![DEVELOPING AND VALIDATING TEST ITEMS]()
Since test items are the building blocks of any test, learning how to develop and validate test
items has always been critical to the teaching–learning process. As they grow in importance and
use, testing programs increasingly supplement the use of selected-response (multiple-choice)
items with constructed-response formats. This trend is expected to continue. As a result, a new
item-writing book is needed, one that provides comprehensive coverage of both types of items
and of the validity theory underlying them.
This book is an outgrowth of the co-author’s previous book, Developing and Validating
Multiple-Choice Test Items, 3rd Edition (Haladyna, 2004). That book achieved distinction as the
leading source of guidance on creating and validating selected-response test items. As with its
predecessor, the content of this new book is based on both an extensive review of the literature
and on its author’s long experience in the testing field. It is very timely in this era of burgeoning
testing programs, especially when these items are delivered in a computer-based environment.
Key features include:
Comprehensive and Flexible—No other book so thoroughly covers the field of test item development
and its various applications.
Focus on Validity—Validity, the most important consideration in testing, is stressed
throughout and is based on the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing, currently
under revision by AERA, APA, and NCME
Illustrative Examples—The book presents various selected- and constructed-response formats
and uses many examples to illustrate correct and incorrect ways of writing items. Strategies for
training item writers and developing large numbers of items using algorithms and other itemgenerating
methods are also presented.
Based on Theory and Research—A comprehensive review and synthesis of existing research
runs throughout the book and complements the expertise of its authors.
