This edited volume presents a comprehensive analysis of conceptual, methodological, and applied aspects related to the validation of educational tests used in Latin American countries. Drawing inspiration from international standards in educational measurement and evaluation, this book showcases the efforts undertaken in various countries to validate diverse types of educational assessments, including student learning assessments, measurements of non-cognitive aspects in students, teacher evaluations, and tests for certification and selection. It gathers the expertise and experience from key international assessments in Latin America, such as PISA, TIMSS, ERCE, and ICCS. Furthermore, it explores the challenges that arise when evaluations are used to compare countries, groups, or trends in achievement over time. The book firmly establishes the principle that measurements in the educational field should only be employed if supported by rigorous validity studies, or if the interpretation and use of such tests are based on substantial evidence. Surprisingly, despite the widespread recognition of validity's importance, relatively few educational measurement assessments have accumulated sufficient evidence to warrant confident interpretation and practical application. By highlighting this gap, this volume aims to raise awareness about the significance of validity, particularly when assessments play a pivotal role in educational policies.
