A Conceptual Analysis of Standard Setting in Large - Scale Assessments
Elements of arbitrariness in the standard setting process are explored, and an alternative to the use of cut scores is presented. The first part of the paper analyzes the use of cut scores in large-scale assessments, discussing three different functions: (1) cut scores define the qualifications used in assessments; (2) they simplify the reporting of achievement distributions; and (3) they allow...
متن کاملMaintaining Results from Security Assessments
Security assessments are costly and time consuming and cannot be carried out from scratch each time a system is updated or modified. This motivates the need for specific methodology addressing the maintenance of assessment results, in particular, and a componentoriented approach to security assessment in general. This paper presents such a methodology in the setting of model-based security asse...
متن کاملStandard setting in medical education: fundamental concepts and emerging challenges
The process of determining the minimum pass level to separate the competent students from those who do not perform well enough is called standard setting. A large number of methods are widely used to set cut-scores for both written and clinical examinations. There are some challenging issues pertaining to any standard setting procedure. Ignoring these concerns would result in a large dispute ...
متن کاملKnowledge Processes and Meta Processes in Ontology-based Knowledge Management
Technology for knowledge management has so far focused on the management of knowledge containers. We present an approach that is oriented towards managing knowledge contents instead by identifying knowledge items at various levels of formality. This is done by providing various types of meta data that are tied to ontologies for conceptual interlinkage. Knowledge items are embedded into knowledg...
متن کاملStandard setting in complex performance assessments: An approach aligned with cognitive diagnostic models
With the increased interest in student-level diagnostic information from multiple performance assessments, it becomes possible to create multivariate classifications of knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs). In this paper, a systematic, multivariate and non-compensating standard setting approach, called the cognitive analytical approach (CAA), is proposed for performance assessment with comple...
