The Ecology of Assessment: Evaluation in Educational Settings
Mots-clés :
Educational evaluation, Assessment models, Measurement, Reliability, Validity, Decision makingRésumé
On a grand besoin d’un modèle théorique qui servirait à l’évaluation de cadres éducationnels complexes. Nous proposons un premier modèle qui comprend trois composantes (mesure, jugement et prise de décision) et des critères complémentaires (fiabilité, validité et utilité) ainsi qu’un second modèle fondé sur les recherches de Parsons (1986), Beer (1979) et Rees (1983). Ce dernier modèle décrit le cadre éducationnel provincial comme hiérarchique et interdépendant, les niveaux inférieurs étant situés dans le sous-système opérationnel des niveaux immédiatement supérieurs. Le développement d’une banque d’items provinciale illustre l’utilité de ces deux modèles.
