TERMS • Authentic • Performance/Performance-based • Alternative • Portfolio
ADVANTAGES • Formative and Summative use same assessment • Focus tends to be higher order • Students involved in the creation of the assessment (http://fcit.usf.edu/assessment/performance/assesspbwlo.html) • Allows multiple methods for students to show what they can do
Assessment Forms • Checklists • Rating Scales • Rubrics (Holistic vs Analytic) • Grading Grids • Matrices
CHECKLISTS • Basic yes/no • No “gray” areas so more reliable • Lose quality assessment of performance • Indicator statements/performance criteria must be clearly written, specific & observable
RATING SCALES • Lose reliability • Gain more information about student performance • Numerical, graphic, descriptive • Clearly stated indicator statements/performance criteria • Clearly stated ratings
Characteristics of Good Assessment Forms • Matches Objective (could assess multiple objectives in one rubric) • Meaningful, specific, as precise as possible • OR • Matches content and appropriate areas to be assessed
RELIABLE – consistently interpreted by same or different reviewers • Identifies levels of performance • From yes/no in checklist to quality in rating scale or rubric • Avoid broad evaluative statements like excellent/good/acceptable on their own • Provide examples/quantitative descriptors as much as feasible
independent behaviors assessed as independently as possible (e.g., evaluate each roll individually) • Efficient • In a meaningful/useful order • Provides feedback to instructor and student • Quality vs yes/no • Specific information
Other factors when appropriate • Writing issues • Neatness (defined) • Others????
OTHER OBSERVATIONAL DOCUMENTATION METHODS • In/In • In the moment/in the action • In/Out • In the moment/out of the action • After • After the action has happened
NARRATIVE DOCUMENTATION • Brief Notes • Anecdotal Records (see ppt) • Running Records • Diary Description
SOME OTHER OBSERVATIONAL DOCUMENTATION METHODS • Time Sampling • Event Sampling
Brief Note • 2/13/06 • Jessica, math folders • 30 min, did 8, on task
EVENT SAMPLING • Identify event prior to data collection beginning (specific) • Code or describe behavior FOR EXAMPLE when student is on task, what is the task number of times a child hits another child in a
TIME SAMPLING • Identify specific behaviors • Record instances of behavior at intervals of time
