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.

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 author’s previous book, Developing and Validating Multiple-Choice Test Items, 3e (Haladyna, 2004). That book achieved distinction as the leading so...
