In this context, constructed wetlands (CWs) become attractive due to their simple mode of operation, effectiveness in treatment and applicability at small/single household levels as well as in community levels.
From this point forward, we took ALUSIM's context and construct as a given and compared it with the Swiss VET context, construct, and IT requirements for purposes of the adaptation study.
This description of ALUSIM's context, construct, test components, and technical documentation (Table 2) served as the basis for comparison with the Swiss VET and was used to judge the cross-national equivalence of the context and construct.
The proceedings and findings of our adaptation study imply that context, construct, and IT components need to be analyzed before doing adaptations.
One might apply the criteria context, construct, IT components, and resources very carefully and thereby increase the likelihood of producing a valid measurement.
We employed a combination of several methods to analyze the context, construct, and IT components of the to-be-adapted computer-simulated test for a new situation.
However, to adequately reflect the diversity of context, construct, and IT components, it is likely that certain tasks will be valid only for a subset of countries.
Interviews with test developers Estimation with the aid of exemplary adaptations One might apply the criteria context, construct, IT components, and resources very carefully and thereby increase the likelihood of producing a valid measurement.
The first step in adapting the German computer-based test of apprentices'commercialal competence' for use in Switzerland was to describe the nationally developed and to-be-adapted test and to closely examine its context, construct, and IT components.
Several methods were used to examine the criteria context, construct, and IT components of the German computer-based test ALUSIM in order to successfully adapt it for Swiss commercial VET.
This meant that, for these three countries, 960 correlation coefficients were calculated (2 countries × 24 constructs × 5 rotation designs × 3 domains + 1 country × 24 constructs × 5 rotation designs*2 domains) and compared to the correlation coefficient between a certain context construct and the original plausible values, resulting in a grand total of 3,480 comparisons.
