520 |a This digest introduces three issues to consider when evaluating test items for bias: fairness, bias, and stereotyping. In any bias investigation, the first step is to identify the subgroups of interest. Bias reviews and studies generally focus on differential performance for sex, ethnic, cultural, and religious groups. In preparing an item bias review form, it is necessary to examine fairness to these groups and statistically determined bias. Sample questions are given for determining the fairness if an item. There are different types of bias, and these should be considered in preparing a review form. Sample questions for examining bias include questions of content bias, language bias, and item structure and format bias. Stereotyping and inadequate or unfavorable representation of designated subgroups of interest are undesirable properties of tests to which judges must be sensitive. (Contains 10 references.) (SLD)
