Pamela R. Buckley; Katie Massey Combs; Karen M. Drewelow; Brittany L. Hubler; Marion Amanda Lain – Evaluation Review, 2025
As evidence-based interventions are scaled, fidelity of implementation, and thus effectiveness, often wanes. Validated fidelity measures can improve researchers' ability to attribute outcomes to the intervention and help practitioners feel more confident in implementing the intervention as intended. We aim to provide a model for the validation of…

Jin, Hui; van Rijn, Peter; Moore, John C.; Bauer, Malcolm I.; Pressler, Yamina; Yestness, Nissa – International Journal of Science Education, 2019
This article provides a validation framework for research on the development and use of science Learning Progressions (LPs). The framework describes how evidence from various sources can be used to establish an interpretive argument and a validity argument at five stages of LP research--development, scoring, generalisation, extrapolation, and use.…

Ketterlin-Geller, Leanne R.; Perry, Lindsey; Adams, Elizabeth – Applied Measurement in Education, 2019
Despite the call for an argument-based approach to validity over 25 years ago, few examples exist in the published literature. One possible explanation for this outcome is that the complexity of the argument-based approach makes implementation difficult. To counter this claim, we propose that the Assessment Triangle can serve as the overarching…

Brennan, Robert L. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2013
Kane's paper "Validating the Interpretations and Uses of Test Scores" is the most complete and clearest discussion yet available of the argument-based approach to validation. At its most basic level, validation as formulated by Kane is fundamentally a simply-stated two-step enterprise: (1) specify the claims inherent in a particular interpretation…

Hatala, Rose; Cook, David A.; Brydges, Ryan; Hawkins, Richard – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2015
In order to construct and evaluate the validity argument for the Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS), based on Kane's framework, we conducted a systematic review. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, ERIC, Web of Science, Scopus, and selected reference lists through February 2013. Working in duplicate, we selected…
