Expanding the Notion of Assessment Shell: From Task Development Tool to Instrument for Guiding the Process of Science Assessment Development

We discuss the limitations and possibilities of shells (blueprints with directions for test developers intended to reduce test development costs and time). Although shells cannot be expected to generate statistically exchangeable exercises, they can generate exercises with similar structures and...

Schneider, Steven A. Science education test contruction performance assessment. Enseñanza de las ciencia construcción de pruebas prueba de ejecución. We discuss the limitations and possibilities of shells (blueprints with directions for test developers intended to reduce test development costs and time). Although shells cannot be expected to generate statistically exchangeable exercises, they can generate exercises with similar structures and appearances when they are highly specific and test developers are properly trained to use them. Based on our research and experience developing a wide variety of assessments, we discuss the advantages of conceiving shells as: (a) tools for effective development of constructed-response items, (b) formal specifications of the structural properties of items; (c) task-authoring environments that help test developers standardize and simplify user (examinee) interfaces; and (d) conceptual tools that guide the process of assessment development by enabling test developers to work systematically. We also caution against possible misuses of shells. En este artículo discutimos las limitaciones y ventajas del uso de templetes. Un templete es un conjunto de instrucciones para desarrollar ejercicios; su fin es abatir el costo y el tiempo de desarrollo de los exámenes. Los templetes no permiten generar ejercicios intercambiables desde el punto de vista estadístico. Sin embargo, cuando sus instrucciones son precisas y se entrena a los autores de pruebas para usarlos adecuadamente, los templetes permiten generar ejercicios de estructura y apariencia similarares. Basados en nuestra experiencia y en nuestro trabajo de investigación, discutimos las ventajas de usar templetes como: (a) herramientas para desarrollar pruebas de respuesta construida, (b) documentos que formalizan las propiedades estructurales de los ejercicios; (c) ambientes para la creación de ejercicios que permiten estandarizar y simplificar los formatos de respuesta para los estudiantes; y (d) herramientas conceptuales que regulan el proceso de desarrollo de exámenes. En este artículo también advertimos de posibles usos inapropiados de los templetes.
