This article reports on the author's experience of being a member of the Michigan State University group sent to Viet Nam to give technical aid to the government of that new country in 1955. While meeting with one government official, the question arose on whether the team could give a test in order to make sure that only students who could benefit from police training would be included in an in-service training class. What follows in the article is the creation of such a test. Emphasis is placed on the difficulty of translation, test administration, reconstruction, reliability, scoring, and so forth. The author notes that testing in another culture can have its surprises, but can be very useful in that culture. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
