An important part of our research involves gathering and analysing evidence to ensure that all aspects of our examination process are as good as they can be.
The field of evaluation and validation activity is wide and includes all aspects of the process. For example, designing a syllabus, constructing a test blueprint, creating examination questions and mark schemes, training and marker standardisation, evaluating the functioning of questions and tests, evaluating the accuracy and reliability of marking, investigating the quality of standards setting and standards maintenance procedures and outcomes.
The many research reports and articles that appear in this area support our model of evaluation set out in the Cambridge Approach.
