Session Submission Summary

New Approaches to Validity Judgments for Emergent Research Methods

Sun, April 15, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Sheraton Wall Centre, Floor: Third Level, South Azure

Session Submission Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

Design-based researchers will provide varied perspectives and solutions to problems of creating and using valid measures of student learning in iterative and cyclical studies. Presentations range from local classroom studies to international multi-user platforms. In all cases, challenges to scientific claims require careful attention to how measures of student learning are designed and are demonstrated to be reliable and valid – even when traditional criteria for measurement validity do not readily or easily apply. Participants will be invited to engage in timely conversations on how to continue to place design-based research on a sound methodological footing.
