An assessment can be well designed, carefully administered, and psychometrically clean. The question predictive validity asks is whether any of that matters once the testing session is over: Do the scores tell you something useful about what happens next? Predictive validity is the degree to which assessment scores forecast a future outcome. It requires 3 […]
As remote and hybrid testing environments expand, assessment leaders are under increasing pressure to maintain exam integrity across digital platforms. Traditional approaches such as live proctoring, on-site supervision and surveillance-based monitoring still play an important role in secure testing, but many of these methods are reactive by design and can introduce friction for candidates and […]
Creating high-quality assessments is a time-consuming process, but the rapid growth of AI offers new ways to streamline question development. Generative AI can produce questions in seconds, adapt them to different topics and ability levels, and create large banks of items. However, speed doesn’t necessarily mean quality. AI-generated questions can contain factual errors or other […]
Assessment developers are tasked not only with creating tools to measure knowledge and understanding, but also with ensuring those tools measure what they’re intended to measure. In other words, they need validity evidence to support the interpretation and use of their scores. But understanding the different sources of validity evidence and how to gather them […]
Spør flere distrikter hvor RTI slutter og MTSS begynner, og svarene stemmer kanskje ikke overens. Ett distrikt kan bruke RTI for lese- og matematikkintervensjon. Et annet kan plassere den samme prosessen i en MTSS-plan. Et tredje kan bruke begrepene om hverandre fordi de samme teamene støtter begge. Overlappingen er reell, men […]
Hver PISA-syklus produserer den samme nyhetsartikkelen. Innen timer etter publisering sirkulerer en rangeringstabell, noen få lands systemer erklæres å være i oppgang eller nedgang, og vurderingen bak tallene går stort sett ubemerket hen. De første resultatene fra PISA 2025 skal være klare 8. september 2026, og mønsteret vil sannsynligvis gjenta seg. Likevel er det […]
