JESUS, Girlene Ribeiro de; REGO, Renata Manuelly de Lima  y  SOUZA, Victor Vasconcelos de. Evidence of content validity of the ENADE psychology assessment. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2018, vol.29, n.72, pp.858-884. ISSN 1984-932X.  https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v29i72.4897.

This study aims to analyze evidence of validity based on the content of the psychology test applied in the Exame Nacional de Desempenho dos Estudantes (Enade) [National Exam of Student Proficiency] of 2015. We used Blueprint, a tool recommended in the international literature for test design. There were significant discrepancies between the skills and abilities presented in the test specifications, and in the cognitive demand demanded in almost all multiple-choice questions. Furthermore, there are skills and abilities presented in test specifications that were not in the test, and other skills and abilities that were represented by only one item, which compromise measurement reliability. We conclude that the evidence based on the content for this test shows the necessity to use tools to improve this primary source of evidence.

Palabras clave : Validity; National Exam of Student Proficiency (Enade); Blueprint; Cognitive Demand.
