Automated scoring has the potential to dramatically reduce the time and costs associated with the assessment of complex skills such as writing, but its use must be validated against a variety of criteria for it to be accepted by test users and stakeholders. This study approaches validity by comparing human and automated scores on responses to TOEFL® iBT Independent writing tasks with several non-test indicators of writing ability: student self-assessment, instructor assessment, and independent ratings of non-test writing samples. Automated scores were produced using e-rater ®, developed by Educational Testing Service (ETS). Correlations between both human and e-rater scores and non-test indicators were moderate but consistent, providing criterion-related validity evidence for the use of e-rater along with human scores. The implications of the findings for the validity of automated scores are discussed.

The College Entrance Examination Board and the Educational Testing Service claim that the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) improves colleges' predictions of their applicants' success. James Crouse uses data from the National Longitudinal Study of high school students to calculate the actual improvement in freshman grade point averages, college completion,and total years of schooling resulting from colleges' use of the SAT. He then compares those predictions with predictions based on applicants' high school rank. Crouse argues that the College Board and the Educational Testing Service have yet to demonstrate that the high costs of the SAT are justified by its limited ability to predict student performance.

<p>Penerapan ICT di bidang pertanian dapat meningkatkan layanan informasi bagi para petani karena dapat menyediakan informasi yang relevan dan tepat waktu. Namun, masih terdapat hambatan dan kegagalan dalam adopsi teknologi dikarenakan adanya perbedaan prefensi antara <em>developer </em>dan <em>user</em>. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan evaluasi ICT <em>literacy</em> petani agar <em>software</em> yang dikembangkan dapat dimanfaatkan secara optimal oleh petani. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengukur ICT <em>literacy</em> petani melalui evaluasi kuesioner berdasarkan <em>framework</em> ETS (<em>Educational Testing Service</em>). Ukuran sampel yang digunakan adalah 30 petani kedelai. Dari 30 responden, 73% petani telah menggunakan HP,13 %  komputer dan 7% internet. ICT <em>proficiency</em> petani dalam penggunaan HP, komputer dan internet adalah 59%, 21% dan 18%. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa HP merupakan tool yang tepat untuk penerapan ICT dibidang pertanian. ICT yang dapat dikembangkan oleh <em>developer</em> untuk diterapkan langsung kepada petani sebagai <em>user</em> utamanya hanya berbasis SMS<em> Gateway</em>. Aplikasi berbasis <em>website</em> dan <em>mobile</em> belum dapat diimplementasikan langsung kepada para petani karena sebagian besar petani belum menggunakan <em>smartphone</em> dan penggunaan komputer serta internet masih cukup rendah.</p><p>Kata kunci: evaluasi ICT, ICT, ICT literacy, ICT petani, ICT proficiency</p>
