Basic Test Construction Workshop - CETE/OSU*


March 12-14, 2008 (8:30 AM to 4:30 PM)


Constructing valid, reliable assessments (tests) of job specific
knowledge and skill is critical to effective and defensible practice in
workforce development and human resource practice. 

Knowledge and skill assessments are used for many personnel-related
functions, including

* Individual certification and licensure,

* Personnel selection and placement, and

* Training needs assessment or diagnosis.

A carefully-designed systematic approach to test construction maximizes
return on investment and contributes to candidate satisfaction and
motivation. Poorly designed assessments often yield erroneous and
damaging results, leading to employee or candidate dissatisfaction,
ineffective credentialing decisions and possible exposure to complaints
or lawsuits. 

Because practice or job analyses serve as the foundation for any
occupationally-specific test development process, our test development
workshop builds on information gathered from such analysis procedures.
Our workshops are designed to complement multiple methods of
occupational or practice analysis, from simple to complex.
