Establishing Validity for Performance-Based Assessments: An Illustration for Collections of Student Writing.
Novak, John R.; And Others
Journal of Educational Research, v89 n4 p220-33 Mar-Apr 1996

Raters scored collections of elementary students' narrative writing with holistic scores from two rubrics (one established and one new, performance-based rubric). The new rubric proved reliable and valid, though correlational patterns were not clear. (SM)
