Research Validation

The level of research validation for an assessment is determined by how many of the following categories of research have been done on the instrument:

Categories of research validation:

Based on Research Into:

  • Student thinking (for observation protocols: Classroom behavior / for rubrics: Relevant theory and/or data)
Studied Using:
  • Student interviews (for observation protocols: Iterative observations / for rubrics: Iterative use of rubric)
  • Expert review (for observation protocols and rubrics: Inter-rater reliability)
  • Appropriate statistical analysis (for observation protocols: Training materials / for rubrics: Expert review)
Research Conducted:
  • At multiple institutions
  • By multiple research groups
  • Peer-reviewed publication

Research Validation Levels:

  • Gold Star: all 7 categories
  • Silver: 5 or more categories
  • Bronze: 3 or more categories
  • Research-Based: at least 1 category
