Comparing Assessment Types for Reliability and Validity, Bias, and Fairness

  Compare four major types of assessment practices: Selected-Response Tests, Constructed-Response Tests, Performance Assessments, and Portfolio Assessments. The goal of this analysis is to critically evaluate their application, strengths, limitations, and alignment with educational policies. Reliability and Validity: • How reliable and valid is each assessment type? Are there any challenges in maintaining these qualities? Bias and Fairness: • What are the potential biases inherent in each assessment type? • How do policies ensure fairness in the administration and scoring of these assessments?
