An Assessment Model

Editor's Notes

  1. Good morning, ladies and gentleman. \nI am Bruno Ronsivalle and I am a Professor at “Sapienza” University of Rome and R&D manager in ABI, the Italian Banking Association. \nToday, we are going to talk about a calculation model to define passing thresholds in evaluation. [CLIC]\n
  2. Almost always, the passing threshold determines the success of an assessment test. [CLIC]\nThis value represents the limit which establishes if a performance is bad or good. [CLIC]\n

  9. Many trainers base their assessment strategies on school and university traditional criteria. [CLIC]\nBut very often, instructional designers can hardly describe [CLIC] \nhow they make their assessment choices [CLIC]\nwhy they opt for a certain passing threshold [CLIC]\nor which is their reference theoretical frame.

  15. Usually, most of them adopt the “sufficiency” criterion: [CLIC]\na student passes the test only if he or she correctly answers 60 of 100 questions. [CLIC]\nThe belief is that a 60% correct resolution of the test represents the evidence a student gets the competence under consideration, [CLIC]\nas if it was an rule of nature!\n

  20. Clearly such criterion is not based on a scientific argument. [CLIC]\nBecause there’s not a rule of nature able to determine a reliable “passing score” value. [CLIC]\n

  34. Let’s start providing a definition of “Passing threshold”. [CLIC]\nWhat does “identifying a passing threshold” mean? [CLIC] \nIt means determining a balance point where probabilistic values about students getting competencies can be formally certified. [CLIC]\n

  38. But several problems can affect the “passing score criterion” objectivity. [CLIC]\nFor example, students could randomly answer or the passing threshold could be inadequate and so on. [CLIC]\nAll these variables affect the test validity. So, how can we determine such balance point? [CLIC] \n
