The Science of Measurement: Using Testing Standards to Increase Research Validity
10:35 a.m. - 12:05 p.m.
Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center
Ballroom Level, Room 302 A&B
Link to Session
The last decade has witnessed enormous attention to increasing the rigor of educational research through scientific design and sophisticated data analysis methodologies. Emerging technologies have provided new assessment tools for measuring a wider range of research processes and outcomes. Interestingly, however, the quality of the measures used in research, a potentially fatal flaw in the validity of research findings, has received relatively little attention. This symposium reviews research on the quality of research measures and presents the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing as a key resource for strengthening practice. The session highlights validity and fairness standards that are particularly important for research instruments and considers implications for research policy and practice. Session participants include Joan L. Herman (University of California – Los Angeles), Frank C. Worrell (University of California – Berkeley), Linda L. Cook (Educational Testing Service), Peggy G. Carr (National Center for Education Statistics/IES, U.S. Department of Education), and Larry V. Hedges (Northwestern University).

Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center
Ballroom Level, Room 301 A&B
Link to Session
Given the increasing debates focused on the affordances and possibilities for the use of big data, what does the use of big data offer in identifying and responding to the needs of children and families in and out of school? Does the utility of the data for change outweigh concerns about the accessibility of the data? What are the potential constraints of using big data and how do we reconcile these constraints and the potential strengths? What are the implications of the focus on big data for building knowledge in practice and policy agendas at the local and national levels targeted to promoting educational equality? Session participants include Larry V. Hedges (Northwestern University), Victoria Stodden (University of Illinois at Urbana - Champaign), Andrew Ho (Harvard University), and Felice J. Levine (AERA).
