WGU D184 Standards-Based Assessment Questions
and Answers| Latest Update
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.
:Point Scoring Each item is assigned a certain numerical value.
Curvilinear trend Initial learning shows large gains in knowledge that flatten out over
time, the bar graph is slightly curved
, Average trend assumes no learning occurs from assessment to assessment
Assessment blueprint provides the teacher with guidance for developing the individual
assessment items
Assessment blueprint creates consistency and connection between assessment items and
corresponding complexity levels from the proficiency scale to which the assessment will be
aligned
How do proficiency scales address weaknesses in standardized performance assessments?
By providing specific feedback to students
parallel assessments They assess the full scope of a standard or learning objective.
standard four-point proficiency scale Include a decreasing number of items for each level
as complexity increases
Item types component of an assessment blueprint increases complexity
A screener should be included in the assessment blueprint to ensure the proper complexity
levels are assessed for each student
Summative Score Most frequent score used on method of mounting evidence
