,Definitional Declarative Knowledge Defining characteristics of something, describe or explain
Cognitive Analysis Declarative Knowledge Determining, organizing, analysis
Mental Procedural Knowledge Skills or processes, evaluates
Parallel Assessments Monitor students growth on the same skills multiple times.
Assessment Blueprint Created to ensure assessments are aligned with learning targets.
Method of Mounting Evidence Determine what the students' summative score should be based on prior patterns of
scores.
True score Recognizes that there is some inherent error on a test, its' an estimation, the true level of
understanding
Observed Score = True Score + Error Score
Aberrant pattenrs you need to determine if the pattern is reliable or if the student was having a bad day etc.
Standards Referenced Grading Systems students demonstrate learning outcomes based on standards.
Standards-Based Grading one standard is assessed at a time
Standards-Based Grading Assessment results do not contain content outside of the stated standard.
Measurement Topics They help identify content and skills to be tested.
Measurement Topics Concepts
Declarative Knowledge Understanding concepts without application
Procedural Knowledge Demonstration is a method of illustrating procedural knowledge
Parallel Assessments given to measure student progress on one standard over time
, Unidimensionality Parallel Assessments
Parallel Assessments remove much of the error from student scores to provide a true score
Point Scoring Method It is used to determine the percentage of available points a student earned on sections
of a test, which is translated into a score on a proficiency scale
Response Code Scoring Each student answer is marked with labels, and the pattern of labels is then examined to
determine the student's level of proficiency.
method of mounting evidence It estimates summative scores over time based on observed patterns
method of mathematical models uses technology to estimate a student's true summative score that occurs at any point in
timeUses
best-fit model It is determined by comparing error rates between the true scores predicted and the
actual scores observed
Marzano Growth Calculator uses the linear, curvilinear, and average mathematical models
Marzano Growth Calculator It calculates true summative scores using three mathematical models to determine the
best-fit model
observed score includes the true score, which indicates the student's true understanding of a
measurement topic, and the error score, which is based on factors excluding the
student's understanding
observed score true score + error score
Response Code Scoring Questions are assigned answer identifiers like the following: C = Totally correct, P =
Partially correct, I = Incorrect.
Response Code Scoring Answers are assigned a descriptor that reflects the level of accuracy.
:Point Scoring Assessment item C (level 3.0) is worth 10 points; the student earns 7 points for the item,
which is translated to 70%. The teacher concludes that the student is not fully proficient at
a 3.0 level.
