Likvärdig bedömning : Bedömning av skrivförmågan hos elever med engelska som främmande språk ur ett svenskt perspektiv (Swedish)
Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study is to examine the validity and reliability of summative assessment of EFL student writing in a Swedish context. Three teachers have assessed the same four student essays from the English 6 course in Swedish upper secondary school. In addition to grading each essay, the teachers have indicated the extent of conformity to the grading criteria in terms of flow, structure, cohesion, adaptation to purpose, clarity, and variation. The analyzed data show a variation in assessment criteria interpretation, affecting assessment validity and reliability, and questioning the assessment equivalence of the Swedish criterion-referenced gradingsystem. 

Abstract [sv]

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka validiteten och reliabiliteten hos summativa bedömningar av studentuppsatser ur ett svenskt perspektiv. Tre lärare har bedömt samma fyra studentuppsatser från engelska 6. Förutom att betygsätta varje uppsats har lärarna angett graden av överensstämmelse med betygskriterierna: flöde, struktur, sammanhållning, anpassning till syfte, tydlighet och variation. De analyserade data visar en variation i tolkning av betygskriterier, vilket påverka rbedömningens validitet och reliabilitet och ifrågasätter bedömningslikvärdigheten i det svenska mål-relaterade betygssystemet.
