Book Description
In the conduct of continuing research to improve screening and induction techniques, the INPUT QUALITY Task has explored the potential contribution of programmed testing particularly with respect to use of the branching technique which tests the examinee with items appropriate to his own ability level. The present publication reports on the trial administration of two branching tests by means of a computerized system with teletypewriter input/output developed by the National Bureau of Standards. A specific objective was to determine the comparability of computerized branching tests and conventional paper-and-pencil tests with reference to reliability, test score information, and test construction rationale. The two specially constructed 8-9-item branching tests (verbal and arithmetic reasoning) and corresponding conventional 40- and 50-item tests of the Army Classification Battery (ACB) were administered, in counter-balanced order, to a sample of 102 enlisted men. Statistical analyses of score results and observations of response patterns are presented. Findings indicated substantial correlation of the short branching tests with their longer conventional counterpart tests (r = .83 and .79, greater than would be expected with equally short conventional tests). Findings also reinforced the research promise of branching tests and indicated the need for reexamination of classical test theory. (Author).

Book Description
The Second Edition of An Applied Guide to Research Designs offers researchers in the social and behavioral sciences guidance for selecting the most appropriate research design to apply in their study. Using consistent terminology, the authors visually present a range of research designs used in quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods to help readers conceptualize, construct, test, and problem solve in their investigation. The Second Edition features revamped and expanded coverage of research designs, new real-world examples and references, a new chapter on action research, and updated ancillaries.
