Conceptual Considerations in Instructionally Sensitive Assessment

Mar 1989

Leigh Burstein

This paper describes the conceptual framework for instructionally sensitive assessment that guided the analyses of data from the Second International Mathematics Study (SIMS). Both the intellectual rationale for the project effort and the current draft version of the guiding conception of “instructionally sensitive psychometrics” are discussed.
