This AMEE Guide offers an overview of methods used in determining passing scores for performance-based assessments. A consideration of various assessment purposes will provide context for discussion of standard setting methods, followed by a description of different types of standards that are typically set in health professions education. A step-by-step guide to the standard setting process will be presented. The Guide includes detailed explanations and examples of standard setting methods, and each section presents examples of research done using the method with performance-based assessments in health professions education. It is intended for use by those who are responsible for determining passing scores on tests and need a resource explaining methods for setting passing scores. The Guide contains a discussion of reasons for assessment, defines standards, and presents standard setting methods that have been researched with performance-based tests. The first section of the Guide addresses types of standards that are set. The next section provides guidance on preparing for a standard setting study. The following sections include conducting the meeting, selecting a method, implementing the passing score, and maintaining the standard. The Guide will support efforts to determine passing scores that are based on research, matched to the assessment purpose, and reproducible.
本 AMEE 指南概述了用于确定基于表现的评估及格分数的方法。对各种评估目的的考虑将为标准设定方法的讨论提供背景，然后描述通常在医疗保健专业教育中设定的不同类型的标准。将介绍标准设定过程的分步指南。本指南包括标准设定方法的详细解释和示例，每一节都介绍了在医疗保健专业教育中使用基于表现的评估进行该方法研究的示例。它旨在为负责确定测试及格分数并需要资源来解释设定及格分数方法的人员使用。本指南讨论了评估的原因，定义了标准，并介绍了已针对基于表现的测试进行研究的标准设定方法。指南的第一部分介绍了设定的标准类型。下一节提供了进行标准设定研究的指导。接下来的部分包括会议的进行、方法的选择、及格分数的实施以及标准的维护。本指南将支持基于研究、与评估目的相匹配且可重现的确定及格分数的努力。
