Reactions of pilots participating in this research indicated that ...
This study examines the validity of imputation procedures used to calculate NAEP scores for excluded students and to provide adjusted or full population estimates for NAEP assessments. By comparing actual test results (i.e., plausible values) and full population estimates for these operationally excluded students, the study was able to evaluate ...
Because the development of skill-based coordination training is dependent on the accurate identification of crucial behaviors to be trained, and because there is a need to develop more effective methods to identify these skills, the purpose of this investigation was to identify a psychometrically sound index of team task importance ...
