Validation is perhaps one of the most important topics in assessment. When you're creating or designing an assessment for a particular purpose,

00:00:16:02 - 00:00:20:10
Unknown
it could be in a classroom based assessment or it could be a large scale national assessment,

00:00:20:10 - 00:00:28:10
Unknown
you need to think carefully about how well that assessment has, has worked and whether it's meeting the purposes that you had for it.

00:00:28:12 - 00:00:30:05
Unknown
Understanding validation is key,

00:00:30:05 - 00:00:31:02
Unknown
and understanding

00:00:31:02 - 00:00:32:21
Unknown
how well the assessment has worked,

00:00:32:23 - 00:00:40:18
Unknown
and if indeed you need to make any changes to improve the overall validity of the assessment and fundamentally, the experience of the students

00:00:40:19 - 00:00:45:02
Unknown
as well.

00:00:45:04 - 00:00:48:05
Unknown
For anyone who is interested in assessment design,

00:00:48:05 - 00:00:49:01
Unknown
you're probably

00:00:49:03 - 00:00:51:01
Unknown
on some level thinking about

00:00:51:01 - 00:00:54:02
Unknown
validation or overall quality of your assessment.

00:00:54:02 - 00:01:04:07
Unknown
One of the key things that you will gain from the validation workshop itself is a key set of principles for you to follow every time you're interested in knowing how well your assessments have

00:01:04:09 - 00:01:09:08
Unknown
met their purpose.

00:01:09:10 - 00:01:12:23
Unknown
Fundamentally the intention of the validation workshop is to

00:01:12:23 - 00:01:13:15
Unknown
make your

00:01:13:18 - 00:01:14:20
Unknown
time work for you.

00:01:14:20 - 00:01:23:17
Unknown
If you are looking to make particular claims about your assessments and how well it's worked and so on, but you've only got so much time to investigate it,

00:01:23:19 - 00:01:34:21
Unknown
the validation workshop will help you work through where the evidence is best collected, and also what you can use in terms of the data that you already have and make the most use of that as well.

00:01:34:21 - 00:01:39:17
Unknown
So hopefully it increases the time efficiency of your validation inquiries.
