The Revision of the Testing Standards: Applications (Invited Joint AERA/NCME Session)

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

This is the third of three joint sessions designed to update the memberships of AERA and NCME and invite input on the revision of the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing. This session will focus on the applications chapters, with particular attention to psychological testing and assessment, workplace testing and credentialing, educational testing and assessment, and use of tests for program evaluation, policy studies and accountability.

The Joint Committee (JC) has been working on revising the 2014 Standards. In this session, participants will receive an update on the revision process and learn about major changes proposed for the application chapters. Most importantly, the session will provide time to hear directly from participants—their reactions to the updates as well as their questions, hopes, and concerns about the ongoing revision.
