Q

What is Authentic Assessment?

A

Authentic Assessment focuses on real-world tasks requiring the learner to perform at the Application and Correllation levels of learning. It is learner-centric in that it doubles as a learning experience.

21
Q

Evaluation of student performance and accomplishment during a lesson should be based on what?

A

Objectives and goals established in the lesson plan.

22
Q

What kind of question requires an answer based on memory or recall?

A

A fact question

23
Q

What are the elements of an effective written test?

A
  1. Reliability - Produces consistent results
  2. Validity - measures what it is supposed to
  3. Comprehensiveness - covers everything it needs to
  4. Discrimination - measures small differences
24
Q

Which is the main disadvantage of supply-type test questions?

A

They cannot be graded uniformly or objectively.

25
Q

When students are tested against a measurable standard, this type of test is called what?

A

Criterion-referenced

26
Q

Which type of test is desirable for evaluating training that involves an operation, procedure or process?

A

Performance

27
Q

What is Traditional Assessment?

A

Traditional assessment usually refers to written tests with a single correct answer to each question.

28
Q

Describe the Collaborative Critique process.

A

Learner is asked to:

  1. Replay - Learner describes the session from start to finish. Instructor probes for accuracy and to get more context on thoughts assumptions etc.
  2. Reconstruct - Learner considers what could or should have been done to mitigate errors identified.
  3. Reflect - Instructor invites student to reflect: What was the most important lesson learned? What needs most improvement?
  4. Redirect - Instructor invites student to look forward: How can I apply what was learned to my next flight?
29
Q

What are key benefits of the Collaborative Critique approach?

A

For the student: Develops skills and habits for Self Awareness, Self Assessment and Judgement.

For the Instructor: Allows evaulation of student judgement.

30
Q

What are the grading levels for a maneuver or procedure?

A

Describe - describes rote elements, but needs assistance to execute

Explain - explains underlying concepts, but needs assistance to execute

Practice - practices with coaching and assistance

Perform - performs to ACS standards without coaching or assistance

31
Q

What are the grading levels for risk/decision-making skills?

A

Explain - student can verbally identify, describe and understand the risks in the scenario, but needs to be prompted to identify risks and make decisions

Practice - student can identify, understand and apply SRM principles to the scenario. Coaching and assistance quickly corrects minor errors. The pilot is an active decision-maker.

Manage/Decide - student gathers the necessary information, identifies the possible courses of action, evaluate the risks inherent in each and make a good decision. Instructor intervention is not required.

32
Q

What is the process for developing a criterion-referenced test?

A
  1. Determine Level-of-learning objectives
  2. List indicators of desired behaviors
  3. Establish criterion objectives
  4. Develop criterion-referenced test items
33
Q

What is the difference between assessment and critique?

A

An assessment is a more formal evaluation of a student’s knowledge or performance against a standard.

A critique is informal feedback on a student’s performance usually given immediately after.

Stage checks, knowledge tests and checkrides are assessment. A debrief following a flight lesson is critique.
