Primes¶
- Summative Assessment
- Summative assessment embodies the structural necessity of aggregated measurement for decision-making in large-scale systems — a position Messick (1989) elaborated in his unified theory of validity as the integrated evaluation of the soundness of score-based interpretations and uses.
This sourceAmerican Council on Education and Macmillan. Unified theory of validity as integrated evaluation of the empirical evidence and theoretical rationales supporting score interpretations and uses; canonical reference for validity in summative assessment.

- Validation
- The technical and social aspects of validation are distinct, and confusion between them creates friction: engineers argue the system is validated technically and therefore should be deployed; critics argue that technical validation is insufficient — a value-laden dimension Messick (1989) made central to his unified theory of validity, in which the social consequences of test use are themselves a validity concern.

Mechanisms¶
- Identity-Cue Audit
- Its discipline of tying cues to channels is a working application of the idea of construct-irrelevant variance — sources of score variation
This sourceDefines construct-irrelevant variance as score variation caused by factors extraneous to the capability or construct being measured.
