Use of the EFPA Test Review Model by the UK and Issues Relating to the Internationalization of Test Standards
Lindley, Patricia A.; Bartram, Dave
International Journal of Testing, v12 n2 p108-121 2012
In this article, we present the background to the development of test reviewing by the British Psychological Society (BPS) in the United Kingdom. We also describe the role played by the BPS in the development of the EFPA test review model and its adaptation for use in test reviewing in the United Kingdom. We conclude with a discussion of lessons learned from this experience for the internationalization of test reviews. Internationalization can refer to one or all of the following: the criteria used for reviewing tests, the procedures used to review tests, or the actual reviews themselves. While we see value in internationalizing the first two of these, the third is problematic as there will remain a need for local reviews of local test adaptations. (Contains 1 note.)
