The Equivalent-Forms Method. Many standardized tests have two or more equivalent forms that have been designed to be comparable in content, length, difficulty level, and variance. When two equivalent forms (...) are administered to students on the same occasion, a coefficient of equivalence is obtained, which measures the consistency of examinee performance from one specific sampling of test content to another. 1, record 1, English, - equivalent%2Dforms%20method

Méthode des formes parallèles. On construit deux formes parallèles du même test, c'est-à-dire comprenant des questions de nature et de difficulté analogues, et on calcule la corrélation existant entre les notes obtenues par un même groupe de sujets aux deux formes. Le coefficient de fidélité particulier calculé ainsi s'appelle coefficient d'équivalence. 3, record 1, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20des%20formes%20parall%C3%A8les

La terminologie est flottante. Toutes les sources unilingues non lexicographiques consultées emploient indifféremment en anglais "equivalent forms" et "alternate forms" et en français "formes parallèles" et "formes alternées" pour désigner la même notion. Par contre, deux sources lexicographiques anglaises (EPSYC, 1968, p. 214 et WOBEH, 1974, p. 150) font une distinction entre "equivalent forms" et "alternate forms" ce qui a conduit à l'établissement de deux fiches: la présente fiche et "alternate-forms method". 4, record 1, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20des%20formes%20parall%C3%A8les
