Resumo: The abundance of scholarship on test development and use generally is higher in English-speaking than in Iberian Latin American countries. The purpose of this article is to help overcome this imbalance by describing and identifying similarities and differences in test development and use in two Iberian (Portugal and Spain) and three of the largest Latin American (Argentina, Brazil, and Venezuela) countries. The stages of test development in each country, roles of professional associations, presence of standards for test use, professionals’ educational training, commonly used tests, together with prominent challenges to continued progress are discussed. Test development and use in these five countries are transitioning from a dependence on the use of translated tests to greater reliance on adapted and finally nationally constructed tests. Continued growth requires adherence to international standards guiding test development and use. Stronger alliance among professional associations in the Iberian Latin American countries could serve as a catalyst to promote test development in these regions.

O objetivo deste artigo é ajudar a superar este desequilíbrio, descrever e identificar semelhanças e diferenças no desenvolvimento de testes e uso em dois Ibérica (Portugal e Espanha) e três dos maiores países da América Latina (Argentina, Brasil e Venezuela). Os estágios de desenvolvimento do teste em cada país, os papéis das associações profissionais, presença de padrões para uso de teste, a formação dos profissionais da educação, os testes comumente utilizados, juntamente com desafios importantes ao progresso continuado são discutidos. Desenvolvimento de testes e uso nestes cinco países estão em transição de uma dependência do uso de testes traduzidos para uma maior dependência de testes adaptados e finalmente construídos nacionalmente. O crescimento contínuo exige a adesão a padrões internacionais orientadores desenvolvimento de testes e uso. Aliança mais forte entre as associações profissionais dos países latino-americanos ibéricos poderia servir como um catalisador para promover o desenvolvimento do teste nessas regiões.International Union of Psychological ScienceUniversidade do MinhoWechsler, Solange MugliaOakland, ThomasLeón, CarmemVivas, EleonoraAlmeida, Leandro S.Franco, Amanda Helena RodriguesPérez-Solís, MaríaContini, Norma2014-082014-08-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/1822/32331eng0020-759410.1002/ijop.1206824812019http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ijop.12068/abstractinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-21T12:43:43Zoai:repositorium.sdum.uminho.pt:1822/32331Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T19:41:16.030538Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
