| Abstract | A study evaluated a composition grading scale used in the University of California at Los Angeles' program of English as a second language (ESL). It looked at (1) the comparative difficulty of the subscale categories; (2) the interrelationships of the subscale categories; (3) the incremental arrangement of the subscale categories and performance levels on a probabilistic writing performance continuum; (4) scalar reliability; (5) the fit of persons, categories, and performance levels with the predictions of the Rasch model; and (6) characteristics of the writing of misfitting persons. In general, results indicated that while high measurement accuracy was observed, misfit was present at the midpoints of the performance scales. Misfitting subjects were not disproportionately representative of any one sex or language group background, but did show writing characteristics involving low content ratings relative to other subscale categories and having abnormally low cohesion, which may represent disordered language and thought patterns. Further research with a larger subject sample is recommended. (MSE) |
