The final section offers a viewof the possibilities and difficulties involved in the attempt to substitutetraditional methods for performance assessment methods. Given thedifficulties and cost in development time, scoring and other variables, thereview concludes by assigning a major role to computer technology inassessment, if performance assessment is going to have a chance to achievewidespread use. 2001 artículo científico 0211-2159 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=16922103 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=169 Psicológica application/pdf Universitat de València Psicológica (España) Num.1 Vol.22 |
