| Abstract | A Web-based survey of 25 experts in testing theory and large-scale assessment examined the utility of out-of-level testing for making decisions about students and schools. Survey respondents were given a series of scenarios and asked to judge the degree to which out-of-level testing would affect the reliability and validity of test scores within each scenario. Generally, respondents indicated that the error introduced in the vertical scaling process offset any precision that might be gained through out-of-level testing, especially when students were tested more than two levels below grade. For questions on the validity of decisions about school comparisons, adequate yearly progress, earning a diploma, and instruction, respondents' ratings spanned the continuum from those who indicated that out-of-level testing would dramatically reduce the validity of inferences to those who indicated that out-of-level testing would dramatically enhance the validity of inferences. Most respondents indicated that out-of-level testing would have a detrimental effect on validity, regardless of whether the test was part of a multi-level testing system or a criterion-referenced testing system. The only exception was when test scores were used to guide classroom instruction, in which case 47% of respondents indicated enhanced validity. The survey is appended. (DB) |
