Score Comparability across Computerized Assessment Delivery Devices
June 2016
Description
The report "Score Comparability Across Computerized Assessment Delivery Devices," authored by Charlie DePascale, Nathan Dadey, and Susan Lyons, provides a comprehensive analysis of the comparability of test scores when assessments are administered across different digital devices. Commissioned by the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), this report aims to support states in meeting the U.S. Department of Education's Peer Review requirements for demonstrating the comparability of state assessment results across various technological devices.
The report is divided into four sections: defining score comparability, reviewing relevant research on score comparability related to accommodations, examining score comparability across devices, and providing recommendations for states. It highlights the importance of ensuring that different devices do not introduce construct-irrelevant variance that could affect test scores.
