There is increasing interest in health professions education (HPE) in applying argument-based validity approaches, such as Kane's, to assessment design. The critical first step in employing Kane's approach is to specify the interpretation-use argument (IUA). However, in the HPE literature, this step is often poorly articulated. This article…

This article focuses on the validity of the students' attitudes toward mathematics scale based on data from TIMSS 2019.
