Gilles distinguishes four evaluation levels: (1) Satisfaction, (2) Learning, (3) Behavioral change and (4) Institutional change. Docimo targets level 2 and 3.

Gilles (2002,2010) create a model for creating standardized assessments, called Constructon Cycle and Quality Controls for Standardized Testing (CCQCST). According to Gilles (2017), “The CCQCST model includes 8 steps: (1) Analysis of the objectves to be evaluated; (2) Design / test plan; (3) Quetstons / items elaboraton; (4) Training / Informaton of the trainees to be evaluated; (5) Testng / assessment; (6) correcton and analysis of results; (7) feedbacks and (8) cycle regulaton for contnuous improvement of subsequent evaluatons. The CCQCST cycle, as shown above, provides quality control procedures to ensure quality assessments.”
