CONTRERAS NINO, Luis Ángel. Contemporary Models, Procedures and Practices in Learning Assessment: Interview with Anthony J. Nitko. REDIE [online]. 2002, vol.4, n.1, pp.01-11. ISSN 1607-4041.

In this interview, Dr. Anthony J. Nitko shares with us his vision of the main psychometric models guiding contemporary practice of learning assessment. He particularly deals with the role played by Classical Measurement Theory and Item Response Theory. He also comments about the evidence supporting valid interpretations of tests scores, as well as about criterion referenced learning assessment and the so-called authentic assessment, at large scale and the classroom level where assessment and instruction are integrated.

Keywords : Learning assessment; criterion referenced assessment; integration of assessment and instruction; standardized tests.
