Download or read book The Development and Validation of a Police Selection Examination for the City of Philadelphia written by Center for Occupational and Professional Assessment (Educational Testing Service) and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the project described in this report was to design, develop, and validate a test that would be job related and capable of being used in the selection of entry-level officers throughout the United States. This report describes step-by-step first, the development of the test and procedures followed to ensure that it would be job related; and second, the performance on the experimental test by police officers in four cities. Recommendations for an operational test are based on the results of the use of the pretest in four concurrent validity studies. The test was developed by identifying the skills and abilities required to perform the tasks of police officers; grouping the tasks into clusters to define 14 job dimensions; analyzing these dimensions by race, job level, and site; and matching them with a set of 22 intellectual abilities. As a result of this process 12 intellectual abilities were identified to be measured in the test. The bulk of this report consists of an extensive appendix containing the tasks checklist, ability description form, written test specifications, forms used in the verification of tasks, and tabular data on the correlations of length of service, performance rating, length of service, level of education, test site, and race with validation test scores. A pre-examination candidate preparation booklet accompanies this report.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bernard R. Gifford In the United States, the standardized test has become one of the major sources of information for reducing uncertainty in the determination of individual merit and in the allocation of merit-based educational, training, and employment opportunities. Most major institutions of higher education require applicants to supplement their records of academic achievements with scores on standardized tests. Similarly, in the workplace, as a condition of employment or assignment to training programs, more and more employers are requiring prospective employees to sit for standardized tests. In short, with increasing frequency and intensity, individual members of the political economy are required to transmit to the opportunity marketplace scores on standardized examinations that purport to be objective measures of their and potential. In many instances, these test scores are the abilities, talents, only signals about their skills that job applicants are permitted to send to prospective employers. THE NATIONAL COMMISSION ON TESTING AND PUBLIC POLICY In view of the importance of these issues to our current national agenda, it was proposed that the Human Rights and Governance and the Education and Culture Programs of the Ford Foundation support the establishment of a ''blue ribbon" National Commission on Testing and Public Policy to investigate some of the major problems as well as the untapped opportunities created by recent trends in the use of standardized tests, particularly in the workplace and in schools.
