I. Context • Many European Countries have to face a growing number of higher education students • The training professionals and the human resources managers of companies are often constrained to evaluate staff competencies, often acquired outside the schools • There is a worldwide movement of the introduction of quality management in education and training activities (Kaufman & al., 1995; Segers & Dochy, 1996; Ramsden, 1991; Nightingale & O’Neil, 1994; Zink & Schmidt, 1995; Castaigne, Gilles & Hansen, 2001; Gilles, 2002; Gilles et Lovinfosse, 2004; Phelps, 2005) EARLI 11th Biennial conference 2005 – electronic Construction and Quality Control in Standardized Testing: the e-C&QCST project Jean-Luc Gilles, Sylvie-Anne Piette, Pascal Detroz, Salvatore Tinnirello, Marc Pirson, Mbassa Dabo & Hung Lê
(Gilles, 2002) I. Context • The quality approach suggested by the SMART team in this context EARLI 11th Biennial conference 2005 – electronic Construction and Quality Control in Standardized Testing: the e-C&QCST project Jean-Luc Gilles, Sylvie-Anne Piette, Pascal Detroz, Salvatore Tinnirello, Marc Pirson, Mbassa Dabo & Hung Lê
II. Principals R&D objectives of the e-C&QCST project: • To develop a web based platform which propose methods, procedures and tools for the management of standardized tests. • To set up economic valorizations of the results of our research with supply of services like: • Audit of standardized testing systems • Training and coaching of the users of the e-C&QCST platform • Docimological services for the improvement of standardized tests • Test creation with the platform • To propose a quality label for standardized testing EARLI 11th Biennial conference 2005 – electronic Construction and Quality Control in Standardized Testing: the e-C&QCST project Jean-Luc Gilles, Sylvie-Anne Piette, Pascal Detroz, Salvatore Tinnirello, Marc Pirson, Mbassa Dabo & Hung Lê

Requests for immediate docimological subcontracting Services (AXA, FOREM, FORTIS, IFA) Presentation of the 8 steps of the CCQCST model e-C&QCST Research group VI. First results: Relevance of the CCQCST model EARLI 11th Biennial conference 2005 – electronic Construction and Quality Control in Standardized Testing: the e-C&QCST project Jean-Luc Gilles, Sylvie-Anne Piette, Pascal Detroz, Salvatore Tinnirello, Marc Pirson, Mbassa Dabo & Hung Lê
VI. First results: Relevance of the CCQCST model • Interviews of tests developers of the ten companies and organizations: • Description of the actions; • Collaborators concerned; • Temporal dimension of the tests construction process; • Other processes in which tests are inserted; • Importance of the quality of the standardized tests. • … • First results of the interviews and the immediate subcontracting services: • The CCQCST model and its procedures are considered as relevant and well accepted; • The principal readjustment we have to plan consists of an integration of different roles of tests developers working in teams.

VI. First results: Users’ roles within e-C&QCST platform • Two difficulties for the users’ roles definition: • They must be used in very different companies’ or non academic organizations’ contexts; • They should be assigned by one person in charge of the test (the head of the project) to a series of collaborators or subcontractors. • We propose seven roles within the e-C&QCST platform: • Role 1: “INSTALLER” installs the software on the server, … ; • Role 2: “ADMINISTRATOR” defines the different tests supervisors, …; • Role 3: “TEST SUPERVISOR” defines and supervises his collaborators & subcontractors for the tasks related to the test construction, … ; • Role 4: “TEST DEVELOPER” realizes one or more tasks of one or more steps of the CCQCST model, …; • Role 5: “QUALITY SUPERVISOR” defines and supervises his collaborators or subcontractors in charge of the quality controls, …; • Role 6: “QUALITY CONTROLLER” realizes one or more tasks related to the quality controls of the productions of the tests developers, …; • Role 7: “ASSESSEE” performs the standardized test.

VI. First results: The SAFES project • Being given the success of the subcontracting services requested by four companies, we filed in a FIRST SPIN-OFF project of the DGTRE. • Our project entitled “Smart Advices For Evaluation Systems (SAFES)” was well ranked by an independent scientific committee so that we are currently, starting a two years feasibility study that will allows us : • To create a method of audit of standardized testing systems; • To improve the quality control procedures to be implemented; • To define a typology of subcontracted services; • To realize a market study. • The creation of the spin-off company should coincide with the finalisation of the e‑C&QCST platform.

VII. Conclusions • Docimological framework:The CCQCST model is relevant and well appreciated in the context of the ten companies and organisations which are our partners in this project • Ergonomics aspects:The first results show that the ergonomics of the first interfaces facilitate the production of specification tables related to the first step of the standardized tests construction • Economical valorization framework:The surprising immediate docimological subcontracting services requested by four of the ten companies (also the acceptation of the SAFES project) shows that there are possibilities for economical valorisations of the results of this project. • Users framework:The seven categories of users’ roles we defined were validated by our partners. This clarification should contribute to highlight the complementarities and the responsibilities of the persons who are involved in standardized test creation.
