Abstract Scientific modeling proficiency is a vital component of assessment system for measuring chemistry core competencies. Researching on standard-based assessment development and evaluation is paid great attention by both chemistry educators and practitioners. Based on comprehensive construct validity, this study applies the principles of Construct-Centered Design and Evidence-Centered Design to establish a holistic design process for developing standard-based assessments for measuring scientific modeling proficiencies. This study presents the design process comprehensively and systematically by using “2.3 Ionization and Ionic Reaction” as an example.
