  1. Chapter 2 Nature of Student Assessment

  2. Types of Assessment, which is the best? • Pen and Pencil • Performance There is a need for both but with an increased focus on complexity

  3. Assessment Time Needed • Selected Response – quicker and can be scored by machine (Often widely used for this reason) • Performance – time consuming (too long of a performance assessment reduces what can be assessed)

  4. Common Assessment Mistake • Does the assessment measure what it is suppose to measure?

  5. Types of Assessment Methods • Selected-Response (e.g., multiple choice, true-false, matching) • Supply-Response (e.g., essay, fill-in-the-blank, etc.) • Restricted Performance Assessment (e.g., locating information on a computer) • Extended Performance Assessment (e.g., using a computer to solve a math problem)

  6. Guidelines For Effective Student Assessment • Effective Assessment Requires: 1. A clear conception of intended learning outcomes 2. A variety of assessment procedures 3. Relevant instructional procedures 4. Adequate sample of student performance

  7. Guidelines For Effective Student Assessment (continued) • Effective Assessment Requires: 5. Fair procedures for everyone 6. Specifying the criteria for judging successful performance 7. Feedback that emphasizes strengths and weaknesses of performance 8. A comprehensive grading and reporting system

  8. Providing Feedback • Feedback Should: • be given immediately following assessment • be detailed and understandable to students • focus on both successes and errors • provide remedial suggestions for correcting errors • be positive and provide a guide for improving performance and self-assessment

  9. Methods of Interpretation • Norm-Referenced • Provides a relative ranking of students • Criterion-Referenced • Provides a description of the learning tasks a student can and can’t perform

  10. High Stakes Testing • State Test, are both norm-referenced and criterion based.
