This edited volume presents a systematic analysis of conceptual,
methodological and applied aspects related to the validation of
educational tests used in Latin American countries. Inspired by
international standards on educational measurement and evaluation,
this book illustrates efforts that have been made in several
countries to validate different types of educational assessments,
including student learning assessments, measurements of
non-cognitive aspects in students, teacher evaluations, and tests
for certification and selection. It gathers the experience of
validity studies from the main international assessments in Latin
America (PISA, TIMSS, ERCE, and ICCS). Additionally, it shows the
challenges that must be taken into account when evaluations are
used to compare countries, groups or trends of achievement over
time. The book builds on the premise that measurements in the
educational field should not be used if there are no studies that
support the validity of the interpretation of their scores, or the
use made of such tests. It shows that, despite the recognition
given to validity, relatively few educational measurement
assessments have accumulated enough evidence to support their
interpretation and use. In doing so, this volume increases
awareness about the relevance of validity, especially when
assessments are key component of educational policies.
