This article is primarily an opinion piece which aims to encourage debate and future research. There is little theoretical or practical research on how best to design progress tests. We propose that progress test designers should be clear about the primary purpose of their assessment. We provide some empirical evidence about reliability and cost based upon generalisability theory. We suggest that the future research is needed in the areas of educational impact and acceptability.
这是一篇主要观点文章，旨在鼓励讨论和未来研究。关于如何最好地设计进展性测试，几乎没有理论或实践研究。我们建议进展性测试设计者应明确其评估的主要目的。我们基于可推广性理论提供了一些关于可靠性和成本的实证证据。我们建议在教育影响和可接受性方面需要进一步研究。
