Evaluating Performance Task Scoring Comparability in an International Testing Program
Zahner, Doris; Steedle, Jeffrey T.
Council for Aid to Education
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) launched the Assessment of Higher Education Learning Outcomes (AHELO) in an effort to measure learning in international postsecondary education. This paper presents a study of scoring equivalence across nine countries for two translated and adapted performance tasks. Results reveal that scorers had similar notions of relative response quality, but not absolute quality.
