Authors:
Leigh Burstein, Pamela Aschbacher, Zheng Chen and Li Lin
This report presents an analysis of the content validity of a series of secondary school mathematics tests. Our purpose in conducting this analysis was to improve our understanding of what it means to validate a subject matter test designed to serve several purposes demanded by educational reform, such as program monitoring, accountability, and instructional improvement.
