Staffing And Schools: Selected Readings, Phil Mckenzie Jan 1986

Staffing And Schools: Selected Readings, Phil Mckenzie

Dr Phillip McKenzie

Teachers are the most important resource in the educational process. It is not surprising, therefore, that issues related to staffing schools are of perennial concern. However, the focus of this concern has shifted over time. Some 20 years ago the major issues in staffing were essentially quantitative in nature and concerned with recruiting sufficient teachers to be placed in classrooms. Although teacher numbers are still important, over the past few years there has been increasing interest in some of the more qualitative dimensions of staffing. How can the needs of individual schools be met through staffing allocations? What role should …

In these investigations we work closely with individual teachers using assessment materials developed within each school. We analyze students' performances on these materials, provide teachers with computergenerated reports, and assist teachers to use these reports to monitor the progress of their students and to diagnose individual strengths and weaknesses.

Banking Non-Dichotomously Scored Items, Geoff Masters, John Evans Dec 1985

Banking Non-Dichotomously Scored Items, Geoff Masters, John Evans

Prof Geoff Masters AO

A method for constructing a bank of items scored in two or more ordered response categories is described and illustrated. This method enables multistep problems, rating scale items, question 'clusters', and other items using partial credit scoring to be calibrated and incorporated into an item bank, and it provides a mechanism for computer adaptive testing with items of this type. Procedures are described for calibrating an initial set of items, for testing the fit of items to the underlying measurement model, and for linking new items to an existing item bank. The method is illustrated using items from the Watson-Glaser …
