ABSTRACT Alternate assessments based on alternate achievement standards (AA-AAS) have historically lacked broad validity evidence and an overall evaluation of the extent to which evidence supports intended uses of results. An expanding body of validation literature, the funding of two AA-AAS consortia, and advances in computer-based assessment have supported improvements in AA-AAS validation. This paper describes the validation approach used with the Dynamic Learning Maps® alternate assessment system, including development of the theory of action, claims, and interpretive argument; examples of evidence collected; and evaluation of the evidence in light of the maturity of the assessment system. We focus especially on claims and sources of evidence unique to AA-AAS and especially the Dynamic Learning Maps system design. We synthesize the evidence to evaluate the degree to which it supports the intended uses of assessment results for the targeted population. Considerations are presented for subsequent data collection efforts.

构造和评估下一代替代评估的验证参数

摘要基于替代成就标准（AA-AAS）的替代评估历来缺乏广泛的有效性证据，也缺乏对证据支持结果预期用途的程度的全面评估。越来越多的验证文献，两个AA-AAS联合会的资金以及基于计算机的评估的进步，为AA-AAS验证的改进提供了支持。本文介绍了与Dynamic LearningMaps®替代评估系统一起使用的验证方法，包括作用理论，主张和解释性论点的发展；收集证据的例子；并根据评估系统的成熟度对证据进行评估。我们特别关注AA-AAS特有的主张和证据来源，尤其是动态学习地图系统设计。我们综合证据以评估其在多大程度上支持针对目标人群的评估结果的预期用途。提出了有关后续数据收集工作的注意事项。
