GMAC's Chris Han Receives Early Career Scholar Award From National Council on Measurement in Education
(firmenpresse) - RESTON, VA -- (Marketwire) -- 05/08/12 -- Kyung (Chris) Han, a psychometrician and senior research manager at the Graduate Management Admission Council, received the Alicia Cascallar Award for outstanding paper by an early career scholar by the National Council on Measurement in Education. Han accepted the award at the NCME annual meeting in Vancouver in April.
Han's paper, presented at the NCME meeting last year, proposes an "item pocket" approach to computer adaptive testing and explores the possibility that it could create a less restrictive testing environment while retaining measurement accuracy.
"We are extremely proud of Chris for his work on behalf of not only GMAC and the GMAT exam but also the entire standardized testing field," said Peg Jobst, executive vice president of the Graduate Management Admission Council, about Han's achievement, which includes a $1,000 cash award. "We are grateful to NCME for recognizing Chris' accomplishments at this stage in his young career."
Han earned a PhD in psychometrics in 2008 from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and a BA in business administration from Sungkyunkwan University in Korea.
