“…Both approaches thus have different strengths and weaknesses, which have led some researchers to call for using both together (Green, Trimble, & Lewis, 2003). However, perhaps unsurprisingly given the different focuses of test-centered and examinee-centered methods, the results of different standard-setting procedures usually differ, often by large margins (Hsieh, 2013a; Jaeger, 1989; Shin, 2004), and scholars do not agree on how to choose among the different standard-setting methods in educational assessment (Zieky, Perie, & Livingston, 2008). Indeed, although many different standard-setting methods have been compared and evaluated in a number of previous studies in the field of educational measurement (Zieky, 2001), these studies did not find evidence of convergence between resulting cutscores, nor did they provide support for the superiority of a single method (Alsmadi, 2007; Kane, 1994, 2001; Livingstone & Zieky, 1989; Näsström & Nyström, 2008).…”
