CETE at The Ohio State University is the selected vendor for creating and maintaining Ohio’s Statewide Career-Technical Education (CTE) Technical Testing System. This End-of-Course testing system is used to evaluate student knowledge and technical skill attainment upon completion of a CTE course within a program of study.
Where do tests come from?
Subject-Matter Experts (SMEs) participate in content domain creation and alignment, development of items, validation of items, and provide input into performance standards.
The SME is Key when it comes to the creation and revision of tests. SMEs possess the knowledge and expertise needed to develop the test content, review the test content, and provide judgments about the quality of the test. Our role is to provide trained facilitators who will guide SMEs in writing and reviewing test items in order to create high quality tests.
