TTP Episode 403: Why You Should Be a Field Researcher w/ Jan Williams & Dr Kristina Breaux

The test development process is lengthy and sometimes mysterious, especially for those of us who don’t work as test developers. That said, everyday practitioners play a huge role in making sure that test developers gather good data. Today’s episode is all about participation in field research, or the process by which most of us can contribute to test development. I’m fortunate to have Dr. Kristina Breaux and Jan Williams from Pearson to chat with me about the ins and outs of field research. Here are a few topics that we get into: • Why is field research important • What exactly is field research • How can practitioners sign up to participate in field research • Benefits of being a field examiner Cool Things Mentioned: • The Testing Psychologist mastermind groups and business consulting: https://www.thetestingpsychologist.com/consulting/ • Email to apply to be an examiner: frexaminersupport@pearson.com • Pearson Field Research: https://www.pearsonassessments.com/professional-assessments/field-research.html
