Impact of Issues in “Exported” Adaptive Testing
-
Exam content issues
-
Validity issues/construct differences
-
Method bias
-
DIF (item performance)
-
Interpretation of scores
-
“what do they mean?”
Goal is construct equivalency in the new environment
Research Questions
-
How can we assure that the constructs being measured across the geographies are equivalent?
-
Do we need to assure that the educational opportunities are “equivalent” across geographies?
-
Do standard CAT content balancing constraints work?
-
Computerized testing is common in the US, is there a need to re-visit the basic research on modality comparability in different geographies?
