Abstract

This module is designed for educators, educational researchers, and psychometricians who would like to develop an understanding of the basic concepts of validity theory, test validation, and documenting a “validity argument.” It also describes how an in-depth understanding of the purposes and uses of educational tests sets the foundation for validation. We describe the benefits and limitations of educational tests, the concept of validity and why it is important, and the types of validity evidence that should be used to support the use of a test for a particular purpose. We also discuss the need for assessment programs to provide such evidence and how it should be interpreted and documented to use educational assessments to best serve education.

数字模块30:有效性和教育测试:教育测试的目的和用途
本模块是为教育工作者、教育研究人员和心理测量学家设计的,他们希望了解效度理论、测试验证和记录“效度论证”的基本概念。它还描述了如何深入了解教育测试的目的和用途,为验证奠定基础。我们描述了教育测试的好处和局限性,效度的概念和为什么它很重要,以及应该用来支持为特定目的使用测试的效度证据的类型。我们还讨论了评估项目提供这些证据的必要性,以及如何解释和记录这些证据,以便利用教育评估最好地为教育服务。
