Summary:

"True to its title, this book is in equal parts about assessment design and assessment use. It lies in the incorporation of "user-centered design" principles throughout, founded on a realist view of science and informed by a socioecological perspective. Fundamentally, that means that the book treats the theoretical and methodological considerations pertinent to designing instruments with the help of an integrative Process Model for Assessment Design, Validation, and Use. This model is guided by what is likely to be most important to the primary users of the assessment tools. In the book, I introduce a two-part concept of "utility" as a quality criterion for assessment instruments; utility comprises the dual notions of "usefulness" and "usability" of the tools for its primary users. The book is organized in three main sections. Section I (Chapters 1-3) deals with the foundations; Section II (Chapters 4-7) focuses on design; Section III (Chapters 9-12) is dedicated to validation and use. Chapter 8 is a supplementary chapter on basic statistics"-- Provided by publisher.
