ALLAN COHEN, PH.D., (University of Iowa, 1972).
I currently serve as a Professor, Director of the Georgia Center for Assessment, and Director of the Institute for Interdisciplinary Research in Education and Human Development. My teaching interests are educational measurement, item response theory, test development, and applied statistics. My research currently focuses on examining methodological issues in educational measurement primarily with respect to applications in test development. This includes problems dealing with (1) the construction and maintenance of achievement tests, (2) equating, detection of item bias, and estimation of item parameters under item response theory and (3) standard setting.
