Tips for Creating Fair, Valid and Effective Assessments

We all know that life science companies’ products emerge from a rigorous, scientific process. Research results must be valid and reliable and stand up to external scrutiny. The consequences of a non-rigorous research & development (R&D) process can be substantial.

As with R&D, learning is a science – and creating fair, valid and effective assessments is a critical part of that science. This is especially true when we are administering exams with potential job/career consequences. Shouldn’t we be able to demonstrate that our exams are fair, valid and effective? And if we can’t, have we not potentially placed our company in legal jeopardy?

Join us for this LTEN webinar, as measurement & metrics expert Dr. Steven Just speaks with you about creating fair, valid and effective assessments. Steven will share frequent questions (and answers!) that will help you incorporate the science of measurement into your practice, including:

• How are validity and reliability related?
• Do all exams need to be validated?
• Is there a valid way to set a passing score?
• How should we time our exams, by the exam or by the question?
• Are there rules for writing valid questions?
• Are “All of the Above,” “None of the Above” or “Select All That Apply” valid answer choices?
• How do I analyze the results of an exam (beyond pass/fail)?
