Presentation Transcript

  1. What is this PAT information telling me about my own practice and my students? Leah Saunders

  2. Webinar outcomes • Understand the tool construct • Understand stanines and scale scores and how assessment results relate to the New Zealand Curriculum • Explore the range of reports and see how this information can support teaching and learning • Connect with the Assessment Resource Banks (ARBs)

  3. What is the primary purpose of assessment?

  4. “The primary purpose of assessment is to improve the student’s learning and the teacher’s teaching as both …respond to the information that it provides.” (NZC page 39)

  5. Stanine Stanines are used to compare an individual student’s achievement with the results obtained by a national reference sample chosen to represent a certain year level. Stanines divide the distribution of results from the trials for a year group, into nine categories. Most students, when compared with their own year level, achieve around stanines four, five, and six. Stanines seven, eight, and nine represent comparatively high achievement for a year group, while stanines one, two, and three indicate comparatively low achievement.

  6. Scale Score A scale score represents the conversion of a raw test score to a location on a described equal-interval scale designed to measure progress over several year levels. There are separate PAT scales for each assessment. The process used to convert raw scores to scale scores takes into account the difficulty of the questions in the tests. This means that scale scores can be compared directly, regardless of which test in a series was originally administered. Each PAT scale uses its own measurement unit to measure progress. Each unit on a PAT scale represents the same amount of progress no matter where the student is located on the scale. This equal-interval property makes the PAT scales ideal for tracking student achievement over time. Students’ scale scores can be recorded from test to test to show their growing levels of knowledge and skill.
