40
Q

Require

A

Performance-based assessments

41
Q

decreases when there is a mismatch between

42
Q

refers to the degree to which a score-based inference is appropriate, reasonable, and
useful in a specific context

Validity

44
Q

uses, and ______resulting from an
assessment.

appropriateness / consequences

45
Q

is often understood as the extent to

Validity

46
Q

Validity also encompasses the _________,
__________, _________, and _________ of
the conclusions drawn from the assessment.

A

47
Q

FOUR FORMS OF VALIDITY EVIDENCE

A

-Content-related evidence
-Criterion-related evidence
-Construct-related evidence
-Face Validity

48
Q

Assesses how well an
assessment samples the content of the domain
it represents; the Table of Specifications helps
ensure this validity by confirming the test’s appropriateness. Answers the question, “Am I
testing what I taught?”

A

Content-related evidence

49
Q

Measures how well
an exam predicts a student’s subsequent status
compared to an existing valid test. Answers the
question, “How does this compare with the
result of an existing valid test?”

A

Criterion-related evidence

50
Q

Gathers empirical
evidence that a hypothetical construct (e.g., a
student’s ability to generate written
compositions) is accurately assessed. Answers
the question, “Am I testing in the way I have
taught?

A

Construct-related evidence

51
Q

Considered the weakest form of
validity, it concerns the physical appearance of
the test. Answers the question, “What do
students think of the test? Does it look like a
valid and official one?”

A

Face Validity

52
Q

refers to the consistency with which a
test measures whatever it is measuring. It is the
extent to which an experiment, test, or
measuring procedure yields the same result on
repeated trials that may reveal an individual’s
real performance level or capacity. L

A

Reliability

53
Q

Three distinct types of reliability evidence

A
  1. Stability Realiability
  2. Alternate form reliability
  3. Internal consistency
54
Q

refers to the consistency of examinees’ scores over time. This is usually represented by a test-retest coefficient of correlation between examinee’s scores on two measurement occasions.

A

Stability Realiability

55
Q

refers to the consistency of results between two or more forms of the same test. It is usually represented by the correlation of examinees’ scores on two different test forms.

A

Alternate-form reliability

56
Q

represents the degree of homogeneity in an assessment procedure’s items.

A

Internal consistency

57
Q

A fair pre-instructional assessment provides
equal opportunities to all students and is
______and _______

and assessment bias should be _____.

A

fair / absent

61
Q

POTENTIAL INFLUENCES ON FAIRNESS

A
  1. Students’ knowledge of learning targets and
    assessment
  2. Opportunity to learn
  3. Prerequisite knowledge and skills
  4. Avoiding student stereotyping
  5. Avoiding bias in assessment tasks and
    procedures
62
Q

criteria before the assessment and often
before instruction begins, helping them
understand what to study and focus on

A

Students’ knowledge of learning targets and
assessment

63
Q

provides adequate time, resources, and
conditions for all students to learn and
demonstrate their achievement.

A

Opportunity to learn

64
Q

It is unfair to assess students on content
requiring prerequisite knowledge or skills they
do not possess; teachers must understand
students’ levels and scrutinize assessments for
required prerequisites.

A

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

65
Q

Assessment bias distorts students’
performances and reduces the validity of
score-based inferences. Teachers must
recognize and reduce bias to ensure fair
assessments, aiming for the absence of bias.

A

Avoiding bias in assessment tasks and
procedures

66
Q
