Assessment Framework

An Assessment Framework is an evaluation structured methodology framework that establishes assessment criterions through evaluation standards to guide assessment processes.

• AKA: Evaluation Framework, Assessment Methodology, Evaluation System, Assessment Model, Measurement Framework.
• Context:
  • It can typically define Assessment Criterions through evaluation metrics and measurement standards.
  • It can typically establish Assessment Methods through evaluation techniques and measurement procedures.
  • It can typically specify Assessment Scales through rating systems and scoring rubrics.
  • It can typically organize Assessment Dimensions through evaluation categorys and measurement domains.
  • It can typically maintain Assessment Consistencys through standardization rules and reliability measures.
  • It can typically generate Assessment Results through score calculations and outcome determinations.
  • It can typically preserve Assessment Evidences through data collections and documentation requirements.
  • ...
  • It can often include Assessment Indicators through performance measures and quality metrics.
  • It can often incorporate Assessment Weights through importance factors and priority assignments.
  • It can often support Assessment Validations through validity checks and reliability tests.
  • It can often provide Assessment Guidelines through instruction documents and procedure manuals.
  • It can often enable Assessment Comparisons through benchmark standards and peer references.
  • It can often facilitate Assessment Improvements through feedback mechanisms and revision processes.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Assessment Framework to being a Complex Assessment Framework, depending on its assessment sophistication level.
  • It can range from being a Qualitative Assessment Framework to being a Quantitative Assessment Framework, depending on its assessment measurement type.
  • It can range from being a Single-Dimension Assessment Framework to being a Multi-Dimension Assessment Framework, depending on its assessment scope breadth.
  • It can range from being a Static Assessment Framework to being an Adaptive Assessment Framework, depending on its assessment flexibility level.
  • It can range from being a Formative Assessment Framework to being a Summative Assessment Framework, depending on its assessment timing purpose.
  • It can range from being a Self-Assessment Framework to being an External Assessment Framework, depending on its assessment evaluator source.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Assessment Management Systems for assessment administration.
  • It can connect to Data Collection Platforms for assessment information gathering.
  • It can interface with Analytics Tools for assessment result analysis.
  • It can synchronize with Reporting Systems for assessment outcome communication.
  • It can communicate with Quality Management Systems for assessment standard compliance.
  • It can interoperate with Learning Management Systems for assessment delivery.
  • ...
