Abstract

"Carol A. Chapelle shows readers how to design validation research for tests of human capacities and performance. Any test that is used to make decisions about people or programs should have undergone extensive research to demonstrate that the scores are actually appropriate for their intended purpose. Argument-Based Validation in Testing and Assessment is intended to help close the gap between theory and practice, by introducing, explaining, and demonstrating how test developers can formulate the overall design for their validation research from an argument-based perspective"-- What is argument-based validity? -- Validity argument design -- Uses and consequences of test scores -- Construct-related inferences : explanation and extrapolation -- Consistency-related inferences : generalization and evaluation -- Content domain-related inference : domain definition -- Building a validity argument.
