Generating Performance-Level Descriptors under a Principled Assessment Design Paradigm: An Example for Assessments under the Next-Generation Science Standards
Luecht, Richard M.
Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, v39 n4 p105-115 Win 2020
The educational testing landscape is changing in many significant ways as evidence-based, principled assessment design (PAD) approaches are formally adopted. This article discusses the challenges and presents some score scale- and task-focused strategies for developing useful performance-level descriptors (PLDs) under a PAD approach. Details of the strategies are illustrated using an example based on the Next-Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
