结论

It Is Possible to Find Assessments of Many Hard-to-Measure Competencies, but There Will Be Challenges in Gathering Relevant Information on Quality and Use

  • A large number of relevant assessments could be identified and cataloged, but some information about the assessments was hard to gather.
  • There are logical steps to follow to collect assessments and relevant information and prepare them for the repository, starting with clearly identifying the constructs of interest, including developing search criteria and conducting searches, and concluding with collecting and organizing the information about each identified measure.

To Be Effective, an Online Repository Should Include Five Key Functions: Search, Display, Evaluate, Use, and Connect

  • Interviews with potential repository users confirmed the potential value of such a repository and highlighted the importance of these five functions to make the repository usable.
  • A repository can serve as an important first step in helping users find measures and evaluate their suitability for decisionmaking.

A Number of Actions Will Need to Occur to Develop an Actual Repository

  • This study might be considered a pilot test for building a repository.
  • The steps needed to develop a repository include defining the goals and purposes of the repository, searching for measures of constructs, and organizing the information and materials collected.
摘要
  • Developers should create a statement that specifies the types of users and user needs the repository aims to satisfy and should include both short- and long-term goals.
  • To make key decisions about the repository, it is important to consult with researchers, educators, psychometricians, and subject-matter experts. It is also necessary to have multiple teams of experts for different project tasks and to make sure that they work closely with each other.
  • Developers should set up rules for how to search for measures to add to the repository, as well as guidelines about what to do when information about the selection criteria is unavailable. The rules for searching should be followed consistently but should also be modified over time, as appropriate.
  • Developers should set up criteria for which measures should be selected for the repository. The repository developers should err on the side of being more inclusive than less inclusive.
  • It is important to set up a template that specifies what information should be displayed in the repository for each measure, even though some key information is likely to be missing.
  • To maintain and improve the technological aspect of the repository website, developers should conduct regular technological reviews, such as checking whether links provided are still active and accurate and updating the technical functionality of the online portal and interface.
  • In terms of the funding to support the maintenance of the repository, multiple options should be considered — for example, continuing support from foundations and providing fee-based services.
