All rights reserved.This chapter addresses the study of the validity of high-stakes assessments, such as those used in the admissions to higher education and professional certification. This study requires, as an initial stage, making explicit the uses that will be given to the scores obtained in those instruments. The specification of the uses can be done through the study of the program theory or logic model. The chapter discusses and gives examples of validity studies that examine the most frequent uses for these types of measures: predictive validity studies and the validity of performance standards. It is argued that the adequate use of high-stakes assessments requires measures that do not present irrelevant variance of the construct. Methodologies for those analyses are presented. It is also proposed that the validity argument should not be limited to the empirical verification of the measures intended goals, but it should also include the possible occurrence of unexpected consequences. Some of the most frequent unexpected consequences in the literature are discussed.
