ITC Presidential Address
Dear Colleagues and Friends,

The ITC is an association of national psychological
associations, test commissions, publishers and
other organizations. It also has a large individual
member base. Membership covers most of the
Western and Eastern European Countries and
NorthAmerica, as well as countries in the Middle and Far East, and South Africa.
The ITC is committed to promoting effective testing and assessment policies and
to the properdevelopment, evaluation and uses of educational and psychological
instruments. The ITC facilitates exchanges of information among members and
others; facilitates cooperation toward the solution of problems associated with test
development and use; and in otherways explores issues related to the construction,
distribution, and use of tests, scales, and other methods used to assess personal
and group qualities. The biennial conference of the International Test Commission
has now been for many years a premier event in the world of psychological and
educational testing. Practitioners and researchers dedicated to testing and
assessment, test developers, testing companies, test publishers, regulators and
policy makers: we all come together once every two years to discuss important
international, regional and national developments in testing and assessment,
to share ideas and to contribute to the evolutions of tomorrow in this important
domain of knowledge and practice. I am delighted to welcome you all to the 11th
Conference of the ITC in July 2018, in Montreal, Canada - a vibrant, fascinating
and multicultural city, which has so much to offer. Just before the ITC Conference,
Montreal will host the 29th International Congress of Applied Psychology (June 26-
30, 2018), and during the same period will also be host to the renowned jazz festival
(June 28-July 7, 2018). The ITC conference will surely be the jewel in this intellectual
cornucopia. Who could ask for more? We cordially invite you to register for your
attendance at the ITC2018, which promises to be a fantastic scientific event - the
highlight of the year in testing and assessment. I am looking forward to meeting you
in Montreal in the summer of 2018!

Dragos Iliescu
ITC President

                                    July 2-5, 2018 • Montréal, Canada • itc-conference.com        3
Dear colleagues,

                  I am very pleased to invite you to join us for the 11th Conference of the International
                  Test Commission, which will be held in Montreal from July 2 to 5, 2018. You will love
                  Montreal, there is no doubt about it! This major city combines European charm with
                  the energy that is characteristic of North America, from its cutting-edge industries
                  to its renowned art of living. During the summer season, it offers amazing sights
                  and a night life that spreads out into the streets. That is why we chose to put the
                  conference under the banner of music, with the Jazz Festival taking place in early
                  July. This festival has existed for more than 30 years and has been named the
                  world’s largest by Guinness World Records. Music enthusiasts will be delighted by
                  this event. We have also decided that jazz should set the tone for the conference, as
                  demonstrated by our chosen theme: On the beat of testing. Our scientific program
                  is organized around four complementary sub-themes, which are as follows: a)
                  Best practices in testing and assessment, b) Instruments and their validity, c)
                  Effectiveness and efficiency including application in multicultural environments
                  and d) Challenges, innovation and advances in technology. These sub-themes
                  will be addressed in many ways, including by distinguished speakers and through
                  innovative workshops. Diversity, a value Quebecers hold dear, is reflected by the
                  range of speakers, their research and application fields, the issues they explore and
                  the countries they come from to offer you an extremely rich program. The hotel
                  that will host the participants is located in the heart of Montreal, close to the Jazz
                  Festival, excellent restaurants, shops, numerous museums, the cobblestone streets
                  of Old Montreal and a breathtaking view of the Saint Lawrence River from the Old
                  Port. This exceptional location will let you enjoy a variety of activities in the city and
                  explore Montreal’s unique multicultural atmosphere, a subtle mix of North American
                  and European cultures. We have also kept in mind the early birds among you: they
                  will be offered a 5 km run or a 3 km walk to experience the city in the early morning
                  hours. My team and I look forward to welcoming a great number of you in Montreal
                  for an exceptional conference in July 2018.

Message de bienvenue
Chers collègues,

C’est avec un immense plaisir que je vous invite à vous
joindre à nous pour la 11e édition de la Conférence
de l’International Test Commission qui aura lieu du
2 au 5 juillet 2018 à Montréal. Aucun doute n’est
possible, vous adorerez Montréal! Cette grande
métropole combine le charme européen à l’énergie qui
caractérise l’Amérique du Nord, des industries de pointe à un art de vivre reconnu.
Pendant la saison estivale, elle offre des spectacles fascinants, une vie nocturne qui
se déploie au fil des rues. C’est la raison pour laquelle nous avons choisi d’inscrire
la conférence sous le signe de la musique puisque le Festival de jazz se tient début
juillet. Ce festival existe depuis plus de 30 ans et a été consacré par le Guinness
World Record comme le plus important de la planète. Les amoureux de la musique
seront donc comblés et nous avons décidé que le jazz donnera le rythme à cette
conférence comme en témoigne le thème choisi : On the beat of testing. Notre
programme scientifique est organisé autour de 4 sous thèmes complémentaires
et qui sont a) Best practices in testing and assessment, b) Instruments and
their validity, c) Effectiveness and efficiency including application in multicultural
environments et d) Challenges, innovation and advances in technology. Ces sous-
thèmes seront abordés de multiples manières, notamment par des conférenciers
de renom et dans des ateliers novateurs. La diversité si chère aux Québécois se
reflète bien dans la variété des conférenciers, de leurs domaines de recherche et de
pratique, des problématiques qu’ils explorent et des pays d’où ils arrivent pour vous
proposer un programme d’une grande richesse. L’hôtel qui nous accueillera est situé
en plein cœur de la ville de Montréal, à proximité des activités du Festival de jazz,
des meilleurs restaurants, des boutiques, des nombreux Musées, des rues pavées
du Vieux-Montréal et de la vue grandiose sur le fleuve Saint-Laurent depuis le Vieux-
Port. Cette situation exceptionnelle vous permettra de profiter de multiples activités
dans la ville, de vous plonger dans l’ambiance multiculturelle unique de Montréal
située quelque part entre les cultures européenne et nord-américaine. Nous avons
aussi pensé à ceux d’entre vous qui se lèvent tôt et leur proposons une course à
pied de 5 km ou une marche de 3 km pour prendre le pouls de la ville au petit matin.
Mon équipe et moi sommes impatients de vous accueillir en très grand nombre à
Montréal pour une conférence hors du commun en juillet 2018.

                                     Von Davier      Workshop Objectives
                                                     The goal of the tutorial is for the participants to learn about the considerations
                                                     for test development and the computational psychometrics methods for the
                                                     collaborative problem solving (CPS) assessments�

                                                     Summary
                                                     Collaborative problem solving (CPS) skills are hard-to-measure competencies
                                                     that are considered among the necessary 21st Century skills for academic and
                                     Kristin         professional success� The challenges associated with the measurement of the CPS
                                     Stoeffler       skills are multifaceted, and range from a lack of consensus around the construct
                                                     definition to finding appropriate models for the interdependent data. Only in past
                                                     seven years the measurement community took interest in developing assessments
                                                     for the CPS skills� This evolution goes hand in hand with the technological
                                                     advances that allowed the test development, administration, and data collection to
                                                     be concerted in a computerized environment� Recently, the community welcomed
                                                     several major publications on CPS assessments: PISA Technical Report (2017), von
                                                     Davier (2017), von Davier, Zhu, and Kyllonen (2017), NCES White Paper (2017) and
                                                     Griffin and Care (2015).

                                                     In this tutorial, we present the process of building CPS assessments in a
                                                     computational psychometrics framework (von Davier, 2017b)� The focus will be
                                                     on the measurement challenges and several empirical examples will be used

                                                     to exemplify the methodology. Specifically, we will first discuss the construct
                                                     and introduce several frameworks that have been used for the CPS tests in the
                                                     recent years (PISA, ATC21s, ACT Holistic Framework, ETS’ framework)� Next, we
                                                     will present the design space for the CPS assessments in the light of Evidence
                                                     Centered Design (Mislevy, et al�, 2003); we will also discuss the design of the data
                                                     collection and of the log files associated with the CPS assessments. Next, we
                                                     will present the computational psychometrics methodology that is promising for
                                                     analyzing data from the CPS tests� We will discuss the use of stochastic processes
                                                     to model the temporal structure of the dynamic interaction, the MIRT model for
                                                     estimating the propensity of collaborative behaviors, and the use of machine

FD2. Ethics, Test Standards, and Test Interpretation:
Measurement Matters

Workshop Objectives                                                                        Canivez
Participants will learn ethical principles and test standards governing test
interpretation and the necessary psychometric principles and procedures assessing
viability of test scores and comparisons�

Summary
Weiner (1989) cogently noted, psychologists must “(a) know what their tests can
do and (b) act accordingly� … Acting accordingly¬—that is, expressing only opinions
that are consonant with the current status of validity data—is the measure of his or
her ethicality” (p� 829)�

To follow Weiner’s advice, psychologists must possess and apply fundamental
competencies in psychological measurement and the importance of these
competencies cannot be overstated for ethical assessment and clinical practice
(Dawes, 2005; McFall, 2000)� Interpretation of tests and procedures must be
informed by strong empirical evidence from different types of reliability, validity, and
diagnostic utility studies; each of which addresses a different interpretation issue�
Unfortunately, most test technical manuals and popular interpretation guides and
textbooks neglect reporting and addressing some critically important psychometric
research methods and results necessary to judge the adequacy of the different
available test scores and comparisons used in interpretation� So that psychologists
may ethically interpret test scores or procedures, this workshop delineates and
highlights the varied psychometric research methods psychologists must consider
to adequately assess the viability of the different scores and comparisons
advocated. Specific research examples with popular tests and procedures are
provided as exemplars� Internal consistency, short– and long–term temporal
stability, interrater agreement, concurrent validity, predictive validity, incremental
predictive validity, age/developmental changes, distinct group differences, theory
consistent intervention effects, convergent & divergent validity, internal structure
(EFA & CFA), and diagnostic efficiency/utility methods are among those presented
and each answer different but relevant questions regarding interpretation of test
scores and comparisons� Following this workshop participants will be better able
to critically evaluate psychometric information provided in test manuals, textbooks,
interpretation guidebooks, Mental Measurements Yearbook, and the extant
literature�

                                                     providers increasingly find themselves facing a new paradigm where the
                                                     assessment item production process is no longer manual, but rather can be

FD4. Cognitive interviewing for interpreting DIF from a
mixed methods perspective
                                                                                        Jose-Luis
Workshop Objectives                                                                     Padilla
The main aim is attendees learn how to design and conduct a mixed-methods
research using cognitive interviewing for interpreting DIF/bias in cross-lingual and
cultural testing projects�

Summary
The expansion of international testing projects in education, health, and quality
of life fields make necessary to address how Differential Item Functioning (DIF)        Isabel
can undermine validity of comparative interpretations based on psychological            Benítez
assessments, tests and survey data� There is a wide consensus about how elusive
to interpret and prevent DIF has become. New approaches to such a difficult
problem like Cognitive Interviewing (CI) integrated with DIF techniques, can
contribute to improve our understanding of DIF in international testing projects�
CI is even mentioned in the most recent release of the ITC Guidelines for Adapting
Test� The main aim of the workshop is to present a practical, comprehensive
approach to conducting CI for interpreting DIF in multi-national tests and scales�
Within a mixed-methods research framework, the course will address how to
conduct a CI study in an international research context� Course attendees will learn
how to plan an international CI study: designs, materials (multi-lingual interviews
protocols, templates for analyses, etc�), interviewers training, cooperative data
analysis, etc. We will also teach how to integrate and report qualitative findings
from CI with quantitative results obtained by DIF techniques� Practical examples
of mixed-methods DIF studies will be analyzed using data bases of international
testing and surveys like the Programme for International Student Assessment
(PISA), the European Social Survey (ESS), and so on� Finally, the general structure
to build validity arguments of the equivalence level reached and its implications for
comparative interpretations using DIF results will be taught�

                                                     The goal of this workshop is to make Generalizability Theory more approachable
                                                     with an overview of the fundamentals of G Theory and training in a free and easy-

                                                     Summary
                                                     Important steps in the development of any test include determining how well the
                                     Robert J.       test measures that which it purports to do and taking steps to reduce unwanted
                                     Cook            sources of variance (error) in the measurement� Generalizability (G) theory is a
                                                     simple-but-powerful method for understanding and optimizing sources of variance
                                                     within tests but is, perhaps, underutilized due to a lack of accessible tools� This
                                                     workshop will provide training in the fundamentals of G Theory as a refresher for
                                                     the experienced and as preparation for the less experienced, then provide hands-on

                                                     and unwanted sources of variance and for conducting Decision (D) studies for
                                                     optimizing measurement designs that maximize desired sources of variance and

FD6. Applying the Standards for Educational and
Psychological Testing in International Contexts
                                                                                      Linda Cook
Workshop Objectives
Participants will learn ethical principles and test standards governing test
interpretation and the necessary psychometric principles and procedures assessing
viability of test scores and comparisons�

Summary
In 2014 the sixth edition of the Standards for Educational and Psychological          Wayne
Tests were published by AERA, APA and NCME� The Standards have been cited             Camara
extensively in the United States, but also have served as a model by ITC and other
professional organizations in assessment concerned with improving the quality of
testing across educational and psychological contexts� The workshop will focus on
the 2014 Standards, but also address other relevant standards and guidelines (e�g�,
ITC Guidelines on Adapting tests, Test use, CBT and Internet testing, and Quality
Control; SIOP Principles) in specific areas of practice including:
 • Validity
 • Reliability and score precision                                                    Joan
 • Fairness                                                                           Herman
 • Design and Development
 • Test Translation
 • Administration and Reporting
 • Test User Responsibilities
For each of the above topics the presenter will provide an overview of the relevant   Kadriye
foundational issues involved, and then identify special issues that apply to the      Ercikan
use of tests internationally� For example, in addressing validity the focus would
be to review the general foundational issues and requirements which apply across
contexts (schools, organizations, credentialing, psychological assessments)
and identifying unique issues which arise in using assessments globally (across
international environments – cultures, language, etc�)�

                                                     Workshop Objectives
                                     Won-Chan
                                     Lee             The goal of this workshop is to provide an opportunity for participants to acquire
                                                     knowledge of equating and hands-on experience using equating programs for their
                                                     operational and research purposes�

                                                     Summary
                                                     When there are multiple testing dates per year and maintaining test security
                                                     becomes very crucial, alternate forms of a test are often required each year� Such
                                     Kyung           alternate forms should be built to the same content and statistical specifications
                                                     so that reported scores can be used interchangeably across forms� However, even
                                     (Chris) T.
                                                     under optimal circumstances, alternate forms almost always differ somewhat in
                                     Han             difficulty, and a psychometric procedure called equating is used to adjust for such
                                                     differences� This workshop will demonstrate how equating can be done using two
                                                     computer programs, Equating Recipes (ER) and IRTEQ, which are freely available to
                                                     the public�

                                                     A computer program ER is a set of open-source functions, written in C, to perform
                                                     all equating methods discussed by Kolen and Brennan (2014), as well as some
                                     Hyung Jin       other methods� Furthermore, ER provides a way to estimate bootstrap standard
                                     Kim             errors for most equating methods� For this workshop, the R interface will be used
                                                     to access the ER functions�

                                                     Another equating program IRTEQ employs a user-friendly interface to perform IRT
                                                     scaling and equating. IRTEQ provides five options for scaling and supports various
                                                     unidimensional models for dichotomously- and polytomously-scored items� IRTEQ
                                                     also implements equating for scale scores if a raw-to-scale conversion table is
                                                     provided�
                                                     This workshop will provide an excellent opportunity for conference participants to
                                                     acquire knowledge of equating as well as to learn about programs for conducting
                                                     equating research studies� The workshop will include a brief introduction to
                                                     equating and illustrate using ER and IRTEQ with real examples, followed by hands-
                                                     on experience in using those programs� At the end of the workshop, attendees
                                                     should have a deeper understanding of equating and be reasonably knowledgeable
                                                     about using ER and IRTEQ�

AM2. Quality Control Procedures for the Scoring and
Rating of Tests
                                                                                       Avi Allalouf
Summary
Accuracy is essential in all stages of testing, beginning with test development
and administration, through to scoring, test analysis, and score reporting� QC
procedures are required in all these stages, especially in the short time-frame
between test completion and score reporting� Failure to establish and implement
such procedures can lead to inaccurate score calculation with potentially serious
consequences, such as a qualified candidate not being accepted to a university
or place of employment or a person lacking required qualifications being granted
a professional license� It may also result in misguided educational intervention�
According to ITC (2014), “Anyone involved in scoring, test analysis, and score
reporting has a responsibility to maintain professional standards that can be
justified to relevant stakeholders.” Quality control procedures are extensively
used in other professions, such as engineering, aviation, medicine and software
development. Learning from the experience of those working in other fields can
help assessment professionals design QC procedures for their specific purposes.

The workshop will deal with theoretical aspects of QC, providing examples of errors
from real-life contexts� The main topics include: (1) QC procedures for large-scale
assessments with large and stable cohorts – usually in paper & pencil mode; (2) QC
procedures for scores on tests administered to small population groups on multiple
administration dates (Continuous Administration Mode) – usually computer-
and Internet-based; (3) methods for monitoring the quality of performance of
assessment raters who conduct offline and online scoring; and (4) procedures to
prevent and detect various kinds of cheating� Finally, studies on several aspects of
QC will be presented� The workshop is based on two NCME instructional modules
(Allalouf, 2007; Allalouf, Gutentag & Baumer, 2017) and on ITC Guidelines published
in International Journal of Testing (2014)�

PM1. Applying Test Equating methods using R
Workshop Objectives
                                                                                   Marie
The main objective is to introduce equating and let the attendees get a
                                                                                   Wiberg
conceptual and practical understanding of various equating methods by using
different data sets within the R software�

Summary
The aim of test equating is to adjust the test scores on different test forms
so that they can be comparable and used interchangeably� Equating has a
central role in large testing programs and it constitutes an important step in
the process of collecting, analyzing, and reporting test scores� Equating is       Jorge
important as it ensures a fair assessment regardless which time, place or          González
background different test takers might have� This workshop has two main
goals. The first goal is to introduce equating. Through a number of examples
and practical exercises, attendees will get both a conceptual and practical
understanding of various equating methods conducted under different data
collection designs� The R software will be used throughout the session with
special focus on the packages; equate, kequate, and SNSequate� The second
goal is to provide the necessary tools to be able to perform different equating
methods in practice by using available R packages for equating� The training
session follows some of the chapters in the book Applying test equating
methods using R which has been written by the instructors and was released
in 2017 by Springer� The workshop will start by introducing traditional equating
methods and different data collection designs and the attendees will be
acquainted on how to perform these methods using the R packages equate�
Next, the attendees will be guided through the five steps of kernel equating;
presmoothing, estimating score probabilities, continuization, equating and
calculating the standard error of equating, using the R packages kequate and
SNSequate� The attendees will then be introduced to item response theory
equating and will receive practical guidance on how to perform these methods
using R�

                                     Iliescu         Workshop Objectives
                                                     Understand the principles behind test adaptation and interpret them
                                                     in practical terms relevant to psychological practice and research;
                                                     Understand how judgmental and empirical procedures contribute to
                                                     test adaptation, and to be able to apply some of these techniques in
                                                     their own practice;
                                                     Appreciate the complexities of test adaptation in the widest sense
                                                     and start formulating their own models for best practice�

                                                     Summary
                                                     The workshop serves as an introduction to the latest standards
                                                     in the cross-cultural adaptation of psychological and educational
                                                     tests� The workshop focuses heavily on the a-priori (mainly
                                                     qualitative) methods that are employed to develop appropriate
                                                     adaptations, and discusses only in passing the various a-posteriori
                                                     (mainly quantitative) methods, such as statistical approaches
                                                     that may be employed to offer evidence for the equivalence of the
                                                     adapted and the original forms of the test� Therefore, the “craft”
                                                     of test adaptation is discussed in terms of adaptation designs,
                                                     translation procedures (incl. decentering), piloting, identification of
