Establishing Validity for Performance-Based Assessments: An Illustration for Collections of Student Writing.

Novak, John R.; And Others

Journal of Educational Research, v89 n4 p220-33 Mar-Apr 1996

Techniques for establishing the reliability and validity of student writing assessment are presented. Raters scored collections of elementary students' narrative writing with holistic scores from two rubrics (one established and one new, performance-based rubric). The new rubric proved reliable and valid, though correlational patterns were not clear. (SM)
