Inhaltsangabe:

Recent reports of widespread problems with state student accountability tests and teacher certification testing have raised questions about the very validity of assessment programs. Few books outline the statistical procedures used for detecting various types of potential test fraud and the associated research findings. This edited volume expands on the current literature base by including examples of detailed research findings arrived at by statistical methodology, and provides a synthesis of the current state of the art with regard to the statistical detection of testing infidelity, particularly for large-scale assessments.
