The Revision of the AERA-APA-NCME Testing Standards: Focus on Foundations and Operations of Measurement and Psychometrics

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

This is the first of two joint sessions that will update the memberships of AERA and NCME and provide an opportunity for input on the Standards. Specifically, this session will address the Foundations and Operations sections of the Standards, with a focus on validity, reliability, and precision, as well as test development, scaling, administration, and documentation. The Joint Committee (JC) received its charge on August 21, 2024, has been meeting with experts, and is working on the Standards revision.
In this first session, participants will receive an update on the process and hear from members of the JC regarding their work and any current challenges being addressed by the committee regarding measurement foundations and operations. The majority of the session is intended to hear from participants about their thoughts on the ongoing revision, in reaction to the updates or regarding their own questions, hopes, or concerns for the revision.
