Testing experts have raised significant concerns about all (SBAC, PARCC, Pearson) assessments, including the lack of basic principles of sound science, such as construct
validity, research - based cut scores, computer - adaptability, inter-related reliability, and most basic of all, independent
verification of
validity.
Recommendations for
verification are: 1) comparison to other models 2) degenerate
tests 3) event
validity 4) extreme event
validity 5) extreme condition
tests 6) «face»
validity tests 7) fixed value
tests 8) historical data validation 9) internal
validity (stochastic runs) 10) multistage validation 11) parameter variability - sensitivity analysis 12) predictive validation 13) traces 14) turing
tests (i didn't know what this is so googled ECWMF turing
test, and i got 150 hits)
