The focus of the course is on the acquisition of knowledge related to test theory and test construction that will allow students to evaluate critically the tests considered in the course and those that are currently in use in the field of psychological testing. During the class students will be introduced with main concepts and approaches to psychological testing. First, students will learn about basic psychometric features of a psychological test, such as reliability (e.g. test-retest, internal consistency, inter-scorer reliability, Item Response Theory) , validity (content, criterion and construct validity) and norms. They will be familiarized with psychometric formulas and be able to evaluate the psychometric characteristics of any published psychological test.
