Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

L'évaluation linguistique est une pratique omniprésente dans les contextes d'immigration, utilisée comme une méthode de collecte de données pour évaluer la capacité des immigrants à communiquer dans la langue du pays d'accueil afin de promouvoir l'intégration sociale et économique ainsi que la productivité au travail (McNamara & Shohamy, 2008).Contrairement aux tests d'anglais, peu d'attention est accordée à l'interprétation et à l'utilisation des scores aux tests en français, ce qui incite -et demande -de la validation des scores pour justifier l'utilisation des tests.Cette étude, qui fait appel aux avancées de la théorie de la validité des tests (Kane, 2006(Kane, , 2013)), construit un argumentaire de validité pour la composante de la compréhension orale du Test de connaissance du français (TCF) dans le contexte de l'immigration au Québec.La théorie de la validité des tests a évolué considérablement depuis le modèle tripartite traditionnel de contenu, de prédiction et de construit (Cronbach et Meehl, 1955), a été conceptualisée comme un construit unitaire (Messick, 1989) et, plus récemment, a été théorisée en termes d'argumentation (Kane, 2006(Kane, , 2013)), empruntant des concepts de modèles d'inférence (Toulmin [1958(Toulmin [ ], 2003)), qui englobent des inférences de score, de généralisation, d'explication, d'extrapolation et de décision, ayant des rôles importants dans un argumentaire de validité.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
