多層適応形テストによる語彙理解力予備測定の効果

The semi-adaptive testing procedure, which consists of a program test for preliminary measurement and a conventional group test for accurate measurement, is proposed. The program test is a short form of the stratified adaptive test with eight pages, each of which contains seven items of diverse difficulty. Each subject is to be tested individually, at first, by the program test and then, to be given an edition of conventional test chosen among nine editions from the easier to the more difficult one. The obtained scores of the program test are used in deciding the appropriate level of difficulty for each edition. Sixty pupils from the first graders to the sixth graders are tested by this semi-adaptive testing procedure, and the efficiency of the procedure is analyzed in terms of various aspects. It is demonstrated that this four or five minutes program test works very well as a prelimiary measurement. This testing procedure is found to be fairly efficient to measure the abilities of subjects which distribute in a broad range
