2009 Recipient
Wim J. van der Linden
Wim J. van der Linden’s contributions to the field of testing and measurement include optimal test design, adaptive testing, response-time models, equating, standard setting, and statistical decision theory. He has had a tremendous impact on theoretical developments and practical applications and on countless graduate students and colleagues he has mentored during his career. His cumulative achievements demonstrate the highest standards to which education research aspires and the spirit in which the E. F. Lindquist Award was established.
Named in honor of E.F. Lindquist, a pioneering scholar and researcher who co-founded The American College Testing Program (ACT), this award is co-sponsored by AERA and ACT and given annually for outstanding applied or theoretical research in the field of testing and measurement. It acknowledges a body of research, as opposed to a single work, of an empirical, theoretical, or integrative nature that, ideally, advances the twin goals of greater understanding and improved use of testing and measurement techniques.
The sponsors of the award seek to encourage and inspire research on issues important to both the research field and the well-being of those affected by that research.
Before 1987, the Award recognized only outstanding research in college student development. In 1987 and subsequent years it acquired a broader scope of recognition.
