Putting the sociopolitical entity to the validity framework.
Validity Facet | Test-score Interpretation | Test-score Use |
---|---|---|
Evidential | Teacher observation: Some exemption students not performing up to the standard of English III | Utility of a placement test: Somewhat undiscriminating classification of the commercially available scale for English proficiency |
Consequential | Resultant scores: Exemption students having too wide a gap in terms of English proficiency levels | Sociopolitical stakes: The School's reputation and commitment to the university community regarding CEFR-standard realization |
