1. Define the construct and proposed interpretation 2. Make explicit the intended decision(s) 3. Define the interpretation-use argument, and prioritize needed validity evidence 4. Identify candidate instruments and/or create/adapt a new instrument 5. Appraise existing evidence and collect new evidence as needed 6. Keep track of practical issues including cost 7. Formulate/synthesize the validity argument in relation to the interpretation-use argument 8. Make a judgment: does the evidence support the intended use? |
