Rethinking Reliability for Innovative Assessments In Mathematics and Science

这个项目涉及业绩评估的可靠性。该项目将开发一种评估可靠性的新方法，该方法反映了涉及认知复杂任务和文化多样化的测试者的评估程序的准确性。它结合了结构方程模型，反映了人们思考和学习的不同方式。将开发结构方程模型来计算结构相关的方差成分，并将使用三种方法来估计绩效评估的可靠性：理论拟合，面泛化和预言分析。因此，该项目将对承认认知复杂任务和文化多样性考生的结构相关性的绩效评估的可靠性进行估计。

This project is concerned with the reliability of performance assessments. The project will develop a new approach to estimating reliability that reflects the precision of an assessment proceducre involving cognitively comples tasks and culturally diverse test takers. It incorparates structural equation mocels that reflect the diverse ways people think and learn. Structural equation modesl will be developed to compute construct relvelant variance components and will be applied to estimating the reliability of performance assessments using three approaches: theory fit, facet generalization, and prophecy analysis. thus, the project will peroducae estimates of the reliability fo performance assessments that acknowledge the construct relevance of cognitively comples tasks and culturally diverse test takers.
