Este artículo describe un estudio de validez y confiabilidad de exámenes de inglés, ítem por ítem, para garantizar la calidad del diseño de pruebas. El estudio incluyó estadística descriptiva, análisis de ítems, análisis de correlación, confiabilidad de las estimaciones y análisis de validez. Los resultados muestran que las pruebas son una excelente adición al programa con respecto a exámenes tradicionales. Igualmente se discuten las implicaciones y se hacen recomendaciones para el desarrollo de cualquier programa institucional de pruebas.application/pdfspaUniversidad Nacional de Colombia - Sede Bogotá - Facultad de Ciencias Humanas - Departamento de Lenguas Extranjeras - Grupo de Investigación PROFILEhttps://revistas.unal.edu.co/index.php/profile/article/view/53302Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revistas electrónicas UN PROFILE Issues in Teachers' Professional DevelopmentPROFILE Issues in Teachers' Professional DevelopmentPalacio, Marcela and Gaviria, Sandra and Brown, James Dean (2016) Aligning English Language Testing With Curriculum.
