Sim. Scientists Assessment Research • Builds on research base, current and prior work – Model-based learning and assessment – Evidence-centered design – Cognitive science • Investigating feasibility, utility, and technical quality – Formative uses of assessment – Simulations for assessment – Technology-based assessments in classrooms COPYRIGHT WESTED, 2010
Assessment Suite Embedded in Classroom Instruction Embedded Formative Assessments and Reflection Activities (2 or 3) Benchmark Summative Unit Assessments Online assessment without feedback Teacher scores constructed responses Bayes Net Proficiency Report COPYRIGHT WESTED, 2010
Assessment Demonstration COPYRIGHT WESTED, 2010
Measurement • Embedded assessments – Contingent tutoring during the tasks • Based on typical misconceptions or errors • Three levels of coaching • Uses logic trees to decide • Benchmark assessments – – System scores selected response and other tracking data Teachers scores written responses Bayes Net processes combined scores Reports in 4 NCLB categories COPYRIGHT WESTED, 2010
