The argument-based approach is the current framework for validity and validation. One of the criticisms is that understanding and applying this approach to practice are complicated and require abstract thinking. Teachers or school administrators in teaching and learning need support in their validation practice. Due to the abstract structure of…

Validity of performance standards is a key element for the defensibility of standard setting results, and validating performance standards requires collecting multiple pieces of evidence at every step during the standard setting process. This study employs a statistical procedure, latent class analysis, to set performance standards and compares…

Assessing student achievement over multiple years is complicated by students' memberships in shifting upper-level nesting structures. These structures are manifested in (1) annual matriculation to different classrooms and (2) mobility between schools. Failure to model these shifting upper-level nesting structures may bias the inferences…

To ensure the validity of an assessment programme, it is essential to align it with the intended learning outcomes (LO). We present a model for ensuring assessment validity which supports this constructive alignment and uses learning analytics (LA). The model is based on LA that include a comparison between ideal LO weights (expressing the…

Digital literacy is one of the essential teacher competencies in the twenty-first century. It is crucial for performing high-quality learning activities supporting science subjects, especially chemistry whereby there are many abstract concepts and limited visualization without digital tools.
