Abstract

The Educative Teacher Performance Assessment (edTPA) is a system of standardized portfolio assessments of teaching performance mandated for use by educator preparation programs in 18 states, and approved in 21 others, as part of initial certification for preservice teachers. Because of the high stakes involved for examinees, it is critical that the scores produced and resulting decisions are meaningful and meet robust standards of validity and technical quality for educational measurements. We examined the technical documentation of edTPA and raise serious concerns about scoring design, the reliability of the assessments, and the consequential impact on decisions about edTPA candidates. In light of these findings, we argue that the proposed and actual uses of the edTPA are currently unwarranted on technical grounds.
评估评估:edTPA的信度和效度证据
教育教师绩效评估(edTPA)是一个标准化的教学绩效组合评估系统,被18个州的教育工作者准备项目强制使用,并在另外21个州获得批准,作为职前教师初步认证的一部分。由于考生的利害关系很大,因此产生的分数和结果决定是有意义的,并且符合教育测量的有效性和技术质量的可靠标准是至关重要的。我们研究了edTPA的技术文档,并对评分设计、评估的可靠性以及对edTPA候选人决策的后续影响提出了严重的担忧。鉴于这些发现,我们认为edTPA的建议和实际用途目前在技术上是没有根据的。
