Best Practices in Validity: A Primer for Simulation-Based Assessment (1090-002232)
CE Hours: 1.50 Session Type: Prerecorded Educational Courses Cost: $0.00
Learning Objective 1:
Describe the history of validity in educational assessment
Learning Objective 2:
Distinguish key components of Messick and Kane’s unified validity frameworks
Learning Objective 3:
Apply validity concepts in educational assessment and research practice using a relevant example
Content Category: Educator
Course Content:
This course is a general overview of the topic.
Course Overview:
Validity and Reliability are key criteria for high-quality simulation-based assessments. During this session we will address the nature of validity and familiarize participants with two contemporary conceptual frameworks (Kane and Messick) using a relevant example. The session will conclude with a discussion of how this applies to simulation educational and research practice.
Co-Presenter: Dr. Stefanie Sebok-Syer, PhD, Stanford University About the co-presenter: Dr. Stefanie Sebok-Syer is an Instructor in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Stanford University and a Senior Scientist in the Precision Education and Assessment Research Lab. Using both quantitative and qualitative methodologies, Dr. Sebok-Syer’s research focuses on measurement, assessment and evaluation within medical education. Her current projects include utilizing electronic health record data for resident assessment, applying novel approaches for detecting bias in assessment, and assessing the interdependence that exists between individuals within a healthcare team. Dr. Sebok-Syer is also the co-chair of the program evaluation committee in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Stanford University. Dr. Sebok-Syer teaches courses in medical education and research methods. She also has a passion for writing and currently holds grant funding from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, the Medical Council of Canada, the Society of Directors of Research in Medical Education, the National Board of Medical Examiners, and the American Medical Association to support the advancement of assessment within medical education.

Co-Presenter: Matthew Lineberry, PhD, University of Kansas Medical Center and Health System About the co-presenter: Matt Lineberry is the Director of Simulation Research, Assessment, and Outcomes for the Kansas University Medical Center (KUMC) and the KU Hospital, both in Kansas City, KS. Matt is also an Assistant Professor in the Department of Health Policy and Management at KUMC.
Matt’s research is focused on how we can optimize deliberate practice in healthcare - essentially, transforming healthcare to adapt and adopt the kinds of practice regimens that support elite performance in fields like music and athletics. He is especially focused on:
(1) assessment for learning - designing assessments to foster achievement rather than just measure it;
(2) adaptive learning technology - customizing learners’ practice regimens using computer-intelligent algorithms and "big data"; and,
(3) simulation in healthcare - creating deliberate practice environments that support robust, real-world-applicable learning and assessment.
In 2012, Matthew earned his Ph.D. in Industrial & Organizational Psychology with an emphasis in Statistical Methods from the University of South Florida (USF) in Tampa, FL, where he was a Presidential Doctoral Fellow.
Prior to joining KU, he served as a Research Psychologist in the Training and Human Performance R&D Branch of the U.S. Navy's Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) in Orlando, FL, after which he became an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medical Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
