Making any substance, drug or other preparation conform to type or precisely defined characteristics. Establishment of precisely defined characteristics, or precisely defined methods, for future reference. Definition of precise procedures for administering, scoring and evaluating the results of a new method that is under development.
1. a procedure assuring that a test is administered and scored in a consistent manner. 2. a procedure for establishing test norms by giving a test to large samples of people who are representative of those for whom the test is designed. (44)
The process of constructing an assessment procedure that has norms and meets the various psychometric criteria for reliability and validity.
(a) The establishment, by an appropriate authority, of a specific set of standards or norms, e.g. for the uniform rendering of toponyms. (b) Rendering an item such as a toponym in accordance with such norms.
of equipment and procedures in a multinational organization; the spectrum of standardization ranges from low-level compatibility (equipment or procedures do not clash), to inter-operability (some degree of workable harmony is possible), to interchangeability (substitution is feasible) to commonality (same equipment or procedure is used)
To promote conformity by means of a standard. Establishing criteria for uniform practices.
Standardization is a systematic process of developing, administrating, and scoring tests. These procedures ensure that all students are tested under the same conditions, that they are all given equal opportunity to determine the correct answer, and that all scores are established and interpreted using appropriate criteria.
A process in which applicable staff from the FDA and the Authority conduct evaluations using standard criteria in a uniform manner. (3)
The procedure of maintaining methods and equipment as constant as possible.
The promotion of conformity by means of a standard; the establishment of criteria for uniform practices.
The development of agreements whose purpose is to align formalities, procedures, documents, information, and operations. At a national level, this would be alignment with acceptable commercial norms and practices, at an international level it would alignment with identified "best" and/or most accepted practices.
The process by which DoD achieves the closest practicable cooperation among forces; the most efficient use of research, development, and production resources; and agreement to adopt on the broadest possible basis the use of common or compatible operational, administrative, and logistics procedures and criteria; common or compatible technical procedures and criteria; common or compatible, or interchangeable supplies, components, weapons, or equipment; and common or compatible tactical doctrine with corresponding organizational compatibility.
act of increasing the uniformity of a product or service and decreasing the extent of variation.
The process of administering a test to a nationally representative sample of examinees using carefully defined directions, time limits, materials, and scoring procedures. The results produce norms to which the performance of other examinees can be compared, provided they took the test under the same conditions.
Providing for uniformity of use of a method.
A consistent set of procedures for designing, administering, and scoring an assessment. The purpose of standardization is to assure that all students are assessed under the same conditions so that their scores have the same meaning and are not influenced by differing conditions. Standardized procedures are very important when scores will be used to compare individuals or groups.
Design and implementation of consistent specifications for procedures, practices, materials, machinery or other equipment or other types of products and services.
