在本次评估中，我们使用 Messick 的建构效度作为实证研究的概念框架，评估办公室纪律转介 (ODR) 措施的使用、效用和影响，以针对学校学生行为进行基于数据的决策。 Messick 方法提供了一个标准，用于测试我们使用 ODR 措施的理论与报告和实际使用的经验数据的契合度。它还有助于我们证明梅西克的原则，即验证既是教育和心理测量的开发者、对这些测量背后的理论感兴趣的研究人员以及在专业实践中使用这些测量的教育工作者之间的一个发展过程，也是一个持续的协作过程。我们采用单组、非实验性评估设计，对 22 所小学和 10 所中学的标准化全校信息系统中 ODR 措施的用户进行了调查；受访者包括专门参与数据输入的学校工作人员和积极参与基于数据的决策的工作人员。两个独立数据源的结果高度一致——实际访问 ODR 措施摘要的电子数据库记录以及有关 ODR 措施用于决策的频率和类型的自我报告调查答复。结果表明，ODR 措施经常用于各种类型的基于数据的决策，并且被认为对于这些目的来说既高效又有效。我们在 Messick 框架的背景下讨论了 SWIS ODR 有效性评估结果的影响。
In this evaluation we used Messick's construct validity as a conceptual framework for an empirical study assessing the validity of use, utility, and impact of office discipline referral (ODR) measures for data-based decision making about student behavior in schools. The Messick approach provided a rubric for testing the fit of our theory of use of ODR measures with empirical data on reported and actual use. It also facilitated our demonstration of Messick's principle that validation is both a developmental and an ongoing collaborative process among developers of educational and psychological measures, researchers interested in theories underlying such measures, and educators who use these measures in professional practice. We used a single-group, nonexperimental evaluation design to survey users of ODR measures from the standardized School Wide Information System in 22 elementary and 10 middle schools; respondents included school staff involved exclusively with data entry and staff actively involved in data-based decision making. Results were highly consistent across 2 independent data sources—electronic database records of actual access of summaries of ODR measures and self-report survey responses regarding frequencies and types of uses of ODR measures for decision making. Results indicated that ODR measures are regularly used for a variety of types of data-based decision making and are regarded as both efficient and effective for those purposes. We discuss implications of our SWIS ODR validity evaluation results within the context of the Messick framework.
