Criterion referencing, a common standard-setting method for high-stakes exams, has limitations. This study introduces Objective Standard Setting, a novel approach, and discusses validity considerations in educational measurement.

Area of Science:

  • Psychometrics
  • Educational Measurement
  • Assessment Policy

Background:

  • Criterion referencing has been the predominant method for establishing passing standards in high-stakes examinations for four decades.
  • Existing popular standard-setting models exhibit significant methodological weaknesses and limitations, extensively documented in prior research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically evaluate the limitations and methodological flaws inherent in widely used standard-setting models.
  • To introduce and detail a novel approach, Objective Standard Setting (OSS), for establishing examination standards.
  • To explore new considerations for validity within the context of standard-setting practices.

Main Methods:

  • Review and critique of existing literature on popular standard-setting models.

  • Detailed exposition of the Objective Standard Setting (OSS) methodology, developed in the early 1990s.
  • Discussion of validity implications and psychometric expert responsibilities in standard setting.

    • Main Results:

    • Identification of critical limitations and methodological weaknesses in prevalent criterion-referenced standard-setting approaches.
    • Successful application of the Objective Standard Setting (OSS) model across diverse settings since its inception.
    • The paper provides the first published account of the OSS methodology.

    Conclusions:

    • Popular standard-setting methods, despite good intentions, require closer scrutiny of their underlying psychometric principles.
    • Psychometric experts must possess a comprehensive understanding of standard-setting models, their validity, and their implications.
    • The Objective Standard Setting (OSS) model offers a robust alternative for establishing defensible examination standards.
