The proficiency scaling was conducted subsequent to Hartig (2007) for a uni-dimensional model; it was not possible to implement proficiency scaling for a multi-dimensional model because of the relatively small number of items.
In 1998, the Italian National Institute of Health launched, in accordance with the World Health Organization and International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, a project to implement proficiency testing; results from the first (1998 1999) and second surveys (2000) showed substantial improvement in the accuracy of drug-susceptibility testing in the network.
To conclude, since the high-stake national examinations will continue to exist, the teachers need to strike a balance between the impact of the new test policy, content knowledge needed for the new instructional practice for students with different English proficiency, and the autonomy allowed to implement it.
We argue instead that mathematical proficiency relies on perceptual systems that have been retrained to implement mathematical skills.
The superordinate objective must be to implement validated test instruments with defined criterion-based proficiency levels in the form of an adaptive test design.
To earn the New York State School Age Credential candidates must demonstrate proficiency in 14 skill areas that were modeled after the U.S. Army School-Age Credentiandand illustrate the skills required to implement high quality after-school programs (AfterSchool Works! New York 2009).
Although we kept the narrative task included in the proficiency test, this case study helps to illustrate the importance of prioritizing the needs of an IEP and to implement the assessments accordingly.
Given the sweeping changes that are now occurring in medical school testing methods, it is important to understand the potential performance differences in students taking paper-and-pencil examinations compared to on-line examinations and to implement on-line examinations so that students have the best opportunity to show their level of proficiency [ 6, 7].
We can still implement what we want to implement.
Proficiency-based curricula maximize efficiency by tailoring training to meet the needs of each individual; however, because rates of skill acquisition vary widely, such curricula may be difficult to implement.
