Lindquist, Harry Greene, • Ernest Horn, Maude McBroom, and Herbert Spitzer. • The sole purpose for the Iowa Every Pupil Test of Basic Skills was the improvement of • instruction. To aid the authors in research and development from the beginning, participating • schools have devoted twenty minutes of annual test administration time to the tryout of new items • for future tests. Using this method, as many as 7,000 items can be tried out under nearly ideal • conditions every year. • Over the years, the Iowa Testing Programs have continued to grow until now almost all public, • parochial, and private school pupils in Iowa regularly and voluntarily participate. In addition to the • benefits provided by a regular tryout program for new items, annual testing of pupils provides an • excellent research base for studying longitudinal and development and investigating innovations • in measurement techniques. • The ITBS consist of a variety of educational achievement instruments enjoy a history of • development that has been an integral part of the research program in educational measurement • at The University of Iowa for the past 70 years.
