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?
