Test Development Workshop - CETE/OSU*


March 9-11 , 2009 (7:30 AM to 4:30 PM)


Developing valid, reliable assessments (tests) of job specific knowledge
and skills is critical to effective defensible practice in workforce
development and human resources. 

Occupational knowledge and skill assessments are used for many
personnel- and education-related functions, including:

* Workforce development and Career Technical Education accountability
(Perkins IV),

* Personnel selection and placement,

* Training needs assessment or diagnosis, and

* Individual certification and licensure.

A carefully-designed systematic approach to test construction maximizes
return on investment and contributes to candidate satisfaction and
motivation. Poorly designed assessments may yield erroneous and damaging
results, leading to employee or candidate dissatisfaction, ineffective
credentialing decisions and possible exposure to litigation.
