OECD AHELO Project in Korea (III): Development of Test Instruments and Validity Improvement
World-wide concerns for accountability and quality of higher education have increased the importance of students' learning outcomes at the higher educational level. Timely launched OECD AHELO project has received international attentions, and Korea has participated in the feasibility study of the project with high enthusiasm. Korea partake in the Generic Skills Strand among three different fields (Generic Skills, Engineering, and Economics). In 2009, KEDI carried out a research focusing on analysis of assessment instruments of learning outcomes and their uses. And in 2010, the focus of the research was a development of assessment tools; focusing on adaptation and translation of two performance tasks.
Development of test instruments for Generic Skills strand continues to be this year's (2011) research focus. Newly added component, multiple-choice questions and survey tools of Contextual Strand are adapted and translated this year. In addition to the development of these tests and survey instruments, increasing validity of these instruments is another focal point of this year's research.
