Standards of validity and the validity of standards in performance assessment
TLDR
In this article, six distinct aspects of construct validation are discussed and how these aspects apply to performance assessment, and the consequences of performance assessment on teaching and learning relevant to construct validation.Abstract:

Validity: on the meaningful interpretation of assessment data
TL;DR: Five sources – content, response process, internal structure, relationship to other variables and consequences – are noted by the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing as fruitful areas to seek validity evidence.

12 Structural Equation Modeling in Management Research: A Guide for Improved Analysis
TL;DR: This chapter first provides a brief introduction to SEM, and discusses four issues related to the measurement component of such models, including how indicators are developed, types of relationships between indicators and latent variables, approaches for multidimensional constructs, and analyses needed when data from multiple time points or multiple groups are examined.

Tools for Direct Observation and Assessment of Clinical Skills of Medical Trainees: A Systematic Review
TL;DR: Although many tools are available for the direct observation of clinical skills, validity evidence and description of educational outcomes are scarce.
Tools for Direct Observation and Assessment of Clinical Skills of Medical Trainees
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify tools used to assess medical trainees' clinical skills with actual patients and to summarize the evidence of their validity and outcomes, but their characteristics and outcomes have not been compared systematically.

The alternatives in language assessment
James Dean Brown,Thom Hudson +1 more
TL;DR: This paper classified the various kinds of language assessments into three broad categories: (a) selected-response assessments (including true-false, matching, and multiple-choice assessments); (b) constructedresponse assessments, including fill-in, short-answer, and performance assessments); and (c) personal-response assessment (including conference, portfolio, and self- or peer assessments).

Convergent and discriminant validation by the multitrait-multimethod matrix.
TL;DR: This transmutability of the validation matrix argues for the comparisons within the heteromethod block as the most generally relevant validation data, and illustrates the potential interchangeability of trait and method components.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validity of Psychological Assessment: Validation of Inferences from Persons' Responses and Performances as Scientific Inquiry into Score Meaning.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a unified concept of construct validity, which integrates considerations of content, criteria, and consequences into a construct framework for the empirical testing of rational hypotheses about score meaning and theoretically relevant relationships.

Objective tests as instruments of psychological theory.
TL;DR: The concept of substantive validity was introduced in this paper and has been extended to include content valldlty in the concept of structural validity, which is a generalization of the classical validity concept.

The Interplay of Evidence and Consequences in the Validation of Performance Assessments
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors make a distinction between task-driven and construct-driven performance assessment, emphasizing the need for specialized validity criteria tailored for performance assessment and emphasizing the importance of domain coverage.
