Assessing the Assessment: Evidence of Reliability and Validity in the edTPA” American Educational Research Journal, Volume 58, Issue 5, February 2021.

The 2022 Palmer O. Johnson Memorial Award goes to Dr. Drew H. Gitomer, Dr. José Felipe Martínez, Dr. Dan Battey, and Dr. Nora E. Hyland for their article, “Assessing the Assessment: Evidence of Reliability and Validity in the edTPA,” published in the February 2021 issue of American Educational Research Journal. This outstanding article explores the reliability and validity of the Educative Teacher Performance Assessment (edTPA), which is a system of standardized portfolio assessments commonly used in the process of certifying preservice teachers. Drawing upon edTPA’s own published data, relevant literature, and widely adopted standards for educational and psychological testing, the authors’ persuasive argument raises serious questions about the edTPA’s scoring design, reliability, and consequential impact (especially in relation to equity). Given the high-stakes nature of edTPA for aspiring teachers and the pervasiveness of its use, these concerns have critical implications for teacher education policies and practices as well as the reporting of psychometric data.
 

The Palmer O. Johnson Memorial Award is presented annually in recognition of the most outstanding article published in an AERA journal. The elements of an outstanding article include: (1) significance of the contribution to advancing knowledge, (2) methodological sophistication and rigor, and (3) uniqueness in terms of problem specification or approach. Articles published in any one of the following AERA journals are eligible for consideration: AERA Open, American Educational Research Journal (AERJ), Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis (EEPA), Educational Researcher (ER), or Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics (JEBS), except those articles that emanate from AERA public lectures. The selection committee considers all research articles published in the volume year immediately preceding the year in which the award is conferred. The award is granted based on substantial merit, as determined by the selection committee.
