evidence that student thinking when completing the task (item) was consistentwith the type of reasoning that developers intended.12 Additionally, we completed two rounds ofdata collection with the full instrument (i.e., all items) and conducted quantitative analyses ofthese larger data sets to assess item and instrument performance.13, 14 These analyses resultshelped us revise items and update the domain model. Finally, we used a Q-matrix to documentthe mapping between item answers (correct and incorrect) with the normative concepts andmisconceptions specified in our evolving domain model.Examples of Redesign ProcessesQ-matrixTo provide more detail, we walk through examples of some of these critical redesign processes.First, one product that

Specifically, this paper details the development of the items and face and contentvalidity for the Postsecondary Student Engagement Survey (PosSES).    The instrument development is guided by a thorough literature review, web searches, a Q-studyusing focus group meetings, a panel of experts, and finally, think aloud sessions to determineface and content validity. The instrument measures positive and negative involvement outcomesand factors that promote and prevent participation decisions in out-of-class activities; andengineering identification, sense of belonging, engineering major
