In 2017, the Validity Evidence for Measurement in Mathematics Education (VM\u00b2ED) National Science Foundation-funded conference brought together 40 educational researchers with expertise\u00a0in mathematics education, psychometrics, and applied measurement to construct a shared understanding\u00a0regarding validity within mathematics education contexts.\u00a0The aim of VM2<\/sup>ED was to convene scholars with an interest in examining\u00a0research on measurement validity with a focus on instruments that generate quantitative data. This conference met its aim and, to date, led to 29 unique works: five peer reviewed\u00a0manuscripts in Applied Measurement in Education, with Carney serving as special issue editor;\u00a0an edited special issue of Investigations in Mathematics Learning with two articles by VM2<\/sup>ED attendees\u00a0and Bostic, Carney, Krupa, and Shih as editors; two edited books (Bostic, Krupa, and Shih; Eds.) including\u00a018 peer-reviewed chapters from VM2<\/sup>ED attendees; two PMENA conference proceedings and accompanying\u00a0presentations; one AERA symposium with VM2<\/sup>ED attendees; and one NCTM Research presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of the previous VM2<\/sup>ED conference\u00a0was to contextualize current conceptions of validity within the field of mathematics education with a focus on an argument-based approach to validation. The goals of the conference included (1) promoting conversation and collaboration among researchers with expertise in mathematics education and measurement; (2) identifying a set of recommendations for the elements of a purpose statement with examples; and (3) developing a set of example validity arguments situated in mathematics education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
