Evidence-Centered Design

Instructional Design and Curriculum Frameworks

Evidence centered design is a meta framework for the design of assessments and for much of their development and administration. Its development and popularization within the wider field of assessment has been led by Robert J. Mislevy together with his major co-authors.

Facts
Core Claim
Assessments should be designed as a meta-framework spanning domain analysis, domain modeling, the conceptual assessment framework, implementation and administration, so that every task in an assessment is built from the start to provide specific evidence of what a test-taker knows or can do, rather than the design and evidentiary reasoning being treated as separate steps. 1
