Imagine that you are facilitating a subject matter expert (SME) panel to develop a job knowledge test
Imagine that you are facilitating a subject matter expert (SME) panel to develop a job knowledge test for plastics chemists. The SME panel, after extensive discussions and examining the results of job analysis, concludes that the test content domain should include 9 areas: mathematics, statistics, physics, chemistry, marketing, plastics testing, product design, mold and die design, and plastics processing. The proposed job knowledge test would include a total of 50 multiple-choice test questions.
Below is a frequency table of SME panel ratings of importance for each content area.
Construct a test plan by completing the table below to show:
- Mean importance ratings
- Proportion of content importance (%)
- How many items would be needed to cover each content area for a 50-item test.
| Content Area | Importance Rating | Mean Importance |
