Designing or Selecting Performance Assessments in User Path 1

Use of the Process Model to design or select performance assessments would involve the same general procedure illustrated in Chapters 5-7. These are:

  • specifying the purpose, population, and construct domain in Phase I;
  • developing the specifications in Phase II;
  • designing or selecting the assessment tasks and scoring rubrics in Phase III; and
  • evaluating content-based validity of the assembled assessment tool (Phase IV A).
    Chapter 8 touched on, but did not provide details of, empirical validation methods pertinent to performance assessments (Phase IV B).
