Dijkstra, J.; Van der Vleuten, C. P. M.; Schuwirth, L. W. T. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2010
Research on assessment in medical education has strongly focused on individual measurement instruments and their psychometric quality. Without detracting from the value of this research, such an approach is not sufficient to high quality assessment of competence as a whole. A programmatic approach is advocated which presupposes criteria for…

Roschelle, Jeremy; Rafanan, Ken; Estrella, Gucci; Nussbaum, Miguel; Claro, Susana – Computers & Education, 2010
The field of Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) includes designers who emphasize effectiveness, measured via experiments, as well as designers who emphasize context and conduct qualitative research on teaching and learning practices. We conjectured that these two different emphases could be fruitful combined in a research and…

Waterman, Clare; McDermott, Paul A.; Fantuzzo, John W.; Gadsden, Vivian L. – Early Childhood Research Quarterly, 2012
Useful assessment outcomes (as manifest through assigned scores) must show reasonable variation across children because it is that variation that presumably defines children's individual differences. Alternatively it is conceivable that some portion of the variability in assessment outcomes does not reflect child differences but rather differences…
