Using Large Scale Summative Tests to Advance the Integration of Sustainable Development Competencies: A Model for Test Construction by Williams-McBean Clavia T.

“…This paper proposes that the integration of SDCs can be accelerated by constructing large-scale tests to measure these competencies, thereby capitalising on the influence of the tests. It presents a model for constructing these tests and provides ways in which the format of multiple choice and extended written response items may be optimised to measure SDCs.…”
