The process involves correlating evaluated performance levels on assessments with a corresponding interpretation or significance. For instance, a numerical score from a questionnaire might be linked to a descriptive category, such as “Proficient,” “Developing,” or “Needs Improvement.” This establishes a direct relationship between raw data and readily understandable classifications.
Establishing such relationships offers several advantages. It enables clear communication of results to stakeholders, allowing for quick comprehension of individual or group performance. Furthermore, it facilitates comparative analysis across different surveys or groups, highlighting trends and areas requiring focused attention. Historically, this technique aided in standardizing interpretations, mitigating subjective assessments.
