Title: Transcend opinion: Document the quality of your assessments using a contemporary approach to validity
Presenter: Dr Jean-Sébastien Renaud, Université Laval
Biography: Jean-Sébastien Renaud is an associate professor at the Université Laval Faculty of Medicine, with a PhD in Measurement and Evaluation from the same institution. Previously Director of Assessment for the Associate Dean of Education and Continuing Professional Development (2012 to 2018), he is now Director of the Graduate Program in Health Science Education. His teaching and research focus on the development and validation of assessment tools in health science education. He is also the Canadian editor of the journal Mesure et évaluation en éducation.
Description: Evaluation is a constant throughout medical education. Whether the stakes are high or low, assessment, in various forms, is present from the admissions process to continuing professional development (e.g., Multiple Mini Interviews, exams, OSCE, in-training evaluation reports, certification exams). Those responsible for these evaluations (e.g., clinical teachers, admissions committees, program directors, residency directors) often wonder how best to judge their quality. How can one transcend opinion and rigorously assess the quality of assessments?
With the help of examples, this webinar will explain how to judge the quality of an assessment using the contemporary approach to validity proposed in Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing (2014).
Objectives: By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Explain the concepts of validity and validation
- Describe the five types of validity evidence used to document the quality of an assessment
- Name the factors that can influence the validity of an assessment
- Discuss criticisms of the contemporary view of validity
