Week 5 assignment

1. Establish a pattern of providing learning thantesting Shorter tests Solidify and integrate knowledge (Horton, 2012, p275). Shorter tests can relate to larger tests

2. Set a clear passing score Range of scores with feedback Ex- To achieve an A in this class Pre-test Why? Prepare the learner for the test Why they are taking it What they will be test on

3. Please follow the link to view the video from edutopiahttp://www.edutopia.org/stw-assessment-school-of-the-future-introduction-video

4. -(Smart Survey)Know what you are wanting to measure Learning objectives will serve as the guide

5. Create a discriminating task (Horton, 2012, p. 219). What are learners able to do What are learners not able to do? Link task to the test

6. Consider resources that will be needed to create the test activity Media needed Technology needs

7. What kind ofinformation do youneed from thetest?

8. Do questions need to be subjective? Do questions need to be objective? How will questions be scored? Questions should be clearly written

9. (Smart Survey)

10. True/False Tests ability to make judgments, design so that they require thoughtPick-one Identify one correct answer in a list.Pick-multiple Identify more than one right answer or make a series of related judgmentsFill-in-the-blanks Learners demonstrate they have learned names.Matching list Measure knowledge of relationships.Sequence Put items in order by some rule or according to some principle (Horton, 2012, p.235).Composition Learners write an essay, draw a picture, etc. Use to evaluate creativity or complex knowledge.Performance Test whether or not a task can be performed.

11. Effective practices

12. Tip #1 Ask multiple questions from one scenario Create a group of questions Make it easy to refer back to the scenario (Horton, 2012, p.262)

13. Tip #2 Ramp up the difficulty Begin with simpler questions Build the confidence of the learner Vary the difficulty of the test questions (Horton, 2012, p262).

14. Tip #3 Keep the sequence short 4-5 questions pop quiz 12- 15 questions is suggested (Horton, 2012, p.262)

15. Tip #4 Enable navigation Allow learners to skip back and forth between questions Allow questions all at once -OR- Include navigation to skip through pages

16. Provide simple, direct, timelyfeedback.

17. Option #1-After each question Makes it more like a game (Horton, 2012, p. 267). Consequence- interrupts the flow of the test Make allowances for Skipping feedback is answers are correct Reviewing wrong answers Options for review materials

18. Option #2- After completion of the test Efficient and Economical But Less Fun Allows for More targeted feedback Learners see feedback once and is not repeated Consequence: missing 1 question can cause learners to miss other related questions.

19. Tell Their score What is the passing score The effect of their efforts and what to do next

20. Keep it simple Tell why it was right Be brief

21. Correct wrong answers in a gentle but clear way Use a neutral tone Tell why or what was wrong with the answer Dont embarrass or insult

22. Evaluate and improve tests

23. Focus on ways to improve tests Teacher evaluation from their own observations Feedback from learners

24. Horton, suggests making all your test questions pass a test itself (273). Use these 3 questions Which objective does this question test? Where was the learner taught this objective? Can someone with subject-matter knowledge but minimal reading skills answer the question?

25. Best practices Consider objectives Design test questions around the objectives Design a sequence of questioning that fits the objectives Provide timely feedback Process the results
