Document Companion to Discussion 4 (K-12): Assessing How We Assess*

Table 9.1 Assessment Beliefs and Practices Instructions: React to each statement by placing an “X” within the Desirability” column to indicate whether you feel the statement is of high or low desirability. Then read each statement again and place an “X” within the “Implementation” column to indicate whether you, personally, implement the stated actions rarely (low) or regularly (high).

Statements About Assessment Desirability Low……………….High

Implementation Low……………….High

1. Conscious efforts are made to assess student progress relative to instructional goals that go beyond the recall of information.

2. Students’ instructional needs are often assessed, and instructional decisions are often made based on student needs.

3. Students can articulately discuss their progress on key instructional goals.

4. Students are involved in self-evaluating their progress by gathering evidence (using a portfolio or other means) to show that they have mastered key competencies.

5. The number of assignments for which letter grades or percentage scores are given is limited so that students focus more on learning than worrying about “the grade.”

6. Students often receive individualized feedback on assignments (oral and/or written comments) that will help them improve.

7. The number of high grades given in a class is never limited.

8. Students have many opportunities to make choices and take charge of the way they will learn a particular topic.

9. Talking with students about strengths and goals for improvement is key.

MEDT 7476: Assessing Learning with Technology-Enhanced Instruction 1

Discussion 4 (K-12): Assessing How We Assess (1+1) 1

See the CourseDen discussion board for full posting instructions.

Prompt: K-12 The major project in this course–Assignment 2 and Assignment 3–asks that you coach and/or collaborate with a client or educational professional in the design, implementation, and analysis/evaluation of tech-enhanced learning. As a background to this post, you will have read Chapter 9: Revising Feedback and Instructional Plans (Butler & McMunn, 2014), and in this chapter, we begin to consider how we give students feedback and how we modify instructional plans based on this feedback. Fill out the Appendix to Discussion 4 (K-12) document in Google Docs (you have to make your own copy first). Thinking of your own assessment practice, fill out Table 9.1 and Exhibit 9.1. You will use the results of this document as the basis for how you respond to the discussion prompt below. Share your results in your initial post (as an attachment, a hyperlink, or a copy/paste into the bottom of your post).
