CAA dynamically selects items for each examinee. How can you ensure that the assessment represents the Alberta Education curriculum when each examinee receives a different set of items?
The Alberta CAA system will ensure representative content coverage by incorporating content-balancing rules. Content balancing involves establishing rules for administering representative numbers of items from each curriculum category. For example, the Mathematics 30 Pure diploma examination contains items from six curriculum areas. The CAA assessment for Mathematics 30 Pure would also be required to contain a minimum number of items in each curriculum area, consistent with the percentage of the course dedicated to each curricular area. Each course at each grade will have different content balancing requirements based on its Program of Studies.
