Instrument development is an arduous task that, if undertaken with care and consideration, can lay the foundation for the development of validity arguments relating to the inferences and decisions that are based on test measures. This article, Part I of a two-part series, provides an overview of validity concepts and describes how instrument development efforts can be conducted to facilitate the development of validity arguments. Our discussion focuses on documentation of the purpose of measurement, creation of test specifications, item development, expert review, and planning of pilot studies. Through these instrument development activities and tools, essential information is documented that will feed into the analysis, summary, and reporting of data relevant to validity arguments discussed in Part II of this series.
仪器开发是一项艰巨的任务，如果谨慎从事并深思熟虑，可为与基于测试度量的推断和决策相关的效度论证发展奠定基础。本文是一个两部分系列文章的第一部分，概述了效度概念，并描述了如何开展仪器开发工作以促进效度论证的发展。我们的讨论重点在于测量目的的记录、测试规范的制定、项目开发、专家评审以及预试验规划。通过这些仪器开发活动和工具，记录了必要信息，这些信息将用于本系列第二部分所讨论的与效度论证相关的数据的分析、总结和报告。
