The influx of technology in education has made it increasingly difficult to assess the validity of educational assessments. The field of information systems often ignores the social dimension during validation, whereas educational research neglects the technical dimensions of designed instruments. The inseparability of social and technical elements forms the bedrock of socio-technical systems. Therefore, the current lack of validation approaches that address both dimensions is a significant gap. We address this gap by introducing VAST: a validation framework for e-assessment solutions. Examples of such solutions are technology-enhanced learning systems and e-health applications. Using multi-grounded action research as our methodology, we investigate how we can synthesise existing knowledge from information systems and educational measurement to construct our validation framework. We develop an extensive user guideline complementing our framework and find through expert interviews that VAST facilitates a comprehensive, practical approach to validating e-assessment solutions.

教育技术的涌入使得评估教育评估的有效性变得越来越困难。信息系统领域在验证过程中经常忽略社会维度，而教育研究则忽略设计工具的技术维度。社会和技术元素的不可分割性构成了社会技术系统的基石。因此，目前缺乏解决这两个维度的验证方法是一个巨大的差距。我们通过引入 VAST 来解决这一差距：电子评估解决方案的验证框架。此类解决方案的示例包括技术增强的学习系统和电子医疗应用程序。我们使用多基础的行动研究作为我们的方法论，研究如何综合信息系统和教育测量中的现有知识来构建我们的验证框架。我们制定了广泛的用户指南来补充我们的框架，并通过专家访谈发现 VAST 有助于提供全面、实用的方法来验证电子评估解决方案。
