The article discusses the procedure of the preparation of test materials for the diagnosis of cognitive learning outcomes in chemistry. It is shown that the use of the thesaurus approach to the selection of the content and methods of mathematical statistics provides a test with high reliability and validity coefficients. Key words: diagnostic test, chemistry, educational measurement.

Abstract Context: Thermocouples' leads are often too short, necessitating the use of an extension lead. Objective: To determine if temperature measures were influenced by extension-lead use or lead temperature changes. Design: Descriptive laboratory study. Setting: Laboratory. Other Participants: Experiment 1: 10 IT-21 thermocouples and 5 extension leads. Experiment 2: 5 IT-21 and PT-6 thermocouples. Methods: In experiment 1, temperature data were collected on 10 IT-21 thermocouples in a stable water bath with and without extension leads. In experiment 2, temperature data were collected on 5 IT-21 and PT-6 thermocouples in a stable water bath before, during, and after ice-pack application to extension leads. Results: In experiment 1, extension leads did not influence IT-21 validity (P  =  .45) or reliability (P  =  .10). In experiment 2, postapplication IT-21 temperatures were greater than preapplication and application measures (P < .05). Conclusions: Extension leads had no influence on temperature measures. Ice application to leads may increase measurement error.

The Relationship

Online games have become increasingly popular computer applications, raising the question of who plays them. Thus, the present study investigates the relationship between gamer personality and online game use as well as the potential links between online game use and gamer demographic variables. The sample consisted of 1633 Taiwanese online gamers. This study used confirmatory factor analysis to assess measurement reliability and validity. The hypotheses were tested using regression analyses. Analytical results indicated that online game use is positively related to gamer openness and agreeableness but negatively related to gamer conscientiousness and emotional stability. Moreover, being male and having a high income were associated with higher levels of online game use. The results increase the knowledge on the link between personality and online gaming behaviour.

Engagement Scale

Work engagement se describe por dedicación, vigor y absorción. La medida de work engagement más utilizada es la escala de Utrecht (UWES). Esta investigación tiene como objetivo estudiar las propiedades psicométricas de la versión abreviada de dicha escala (UWES-9) en el contexto laboral chileno. Se usó un diseño de encuesta transversal, a una muestra por conveniencia (n = 255). La encuesta usó la escala UWES-9 (Schaufeli & Bakker, 2003), la escala de empoderamiento psicológico de Spreitzer (1995) y la escala de satisfacción laboral genérica (Macdonald & MacIntyre, 1997). Se calculó el índice de confiabilidad (alpha), dando una buena consistencia interna. Las tres dimensiones de la escala se correlacionaron en gran medida por lo que no fue necesario eliminar ítems. Con respecto a la validez de constructo, work engagement se correlacionó en la dirección esperada (positiva) con empoderamiento psicológico y satisfacción laboral. Se discuten implicaciones gerenciales y desafíos para la investigación futura.

Criterion Referenced

Four measurement models for use in performance evaluation (norm, criterion, domain, and objectives-referenced measurement) are presented and the contingent relationships among them are discussed. An argument is made for the use of criterion-referenced measurement in performance testing. Literature on two major problem areas in criterion-referenced measurement, reliability and validity, is briefly reviewed; and a recent example of criterion-referenced performance test development in an applied training context is described.
