Popis: One of the main problems in designing criterion-referenced items is to ensure adequate sampling of the course content. Criterion-reference test are idiosyncratic to the course being tested. The items in such tests need to be drawn from the domains of learning that take place in the course. A difficulty arises in validating any method of showing the domains of learning in relation to the tests used. The investigation reported in this paper used a method of mapping the course. This mapping method presents the course in a compact visual form. Criterion-referenced test items were drawn up using a less sophisticated method. The parts of the course which would predict good learning from the mapping were checked against the performance on items and vice versa.
