Estimada Irene lo que le puedo señalar es que las pruebas sirven si son confiables y la confiabilidad tiene forma de medir al igual que los procesos de validación.

¿cuando sabemos que una prueba mide lo que tiene que medir?

¡cuando sabemos si una prueba esta bien estructurada?

entonces existen los métodos de validación de asl pruebas que te permiten realizar ese proceso técnico.

hay mucho material de este tipo bajo Medición y validación de instrumentos de evaluación.

Such as, for example, pie charts generated with various online personality questionnaires.

If anyone knows anything, the advice would be much apprecited!

Would education really break down if there were no examinations anymore?

By nature and culture, we tend to take many things for granted. For instance, that there ought to be examinations of some form after any serious educational intervention.

We are so accustomed to this cultural paradigm, by being exposed to it from early childhood on, that it is almost impossible - even frightening - to think of a world in which there were no examinations at all.

Can we say that there is a Tyranny of the Test, in much the same way as Edward Tufte has written about the Tyranny of Powerpoint?

Surely, examinations, assessments, tests, and all that have a role to play in our school system and far beyond that. But how much of that role is really intrinsic to the concept of personal and professional learning and development?
