Ten steps for test development.
Tests are the measurement instruments most used by psychologists to obtain data about people, both in professional and research contexts. The main goal of this paper is to synthesize in ten steps the fundamental aspects that must be taken into account when building a test in a rigorous way.
For the elaboration of the ten proposed phases, the specialized psychometric literature was revised, and previous works by the authors on the subject were updated.
Ten steps are proposed for the objective development of a test: delimitation of the general framework, definition of the variable to be measured, specifications, items development, edition of the test, pilot studies, selection of other measurement instruments, test administration, psychometric properties, and development of the final version.
Following the ten proposed steps, objective tests can be developed with adequate psychometric properties based on empirical evidence.
测试开发的十个步骤
测试是心理学家在专业和研究环境中获取有关人员数据时最常用的测量工具。本文的主要目标是以十个步骤综合阐述严格构建测试时必须考虑的基本方面。
为了详细阐述所提出的十个阶段，查阅了专业心理测量学文献，并更新了作者之前关于该主题的著作。
提出了测试客观开发的十个步骤：总体框架的界定、待测量变量的定义、规格说明、项目开发、测试版本、预试验、其他测量工具的选择、测试实施、心理测量特性以及最终版本的开发。
遵循所提出的十个步骤，可以基于实证证据开发出具有适当心理测量特性的客观测试。
