D184 EXAMINATION QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Describe the relationship between an observed score and true score on an assessment. -
Observed score = true score + error score
How does the best fit model determine score? - Compares error rates between true
scores predicted and the actual scores observed.
Describe mounting evidence - Using the most recent evidence to determine progress or
performance.
Use most frequent scores.
Focus Statement - Standards rewritten to provide clear focus for assessments.
Big ideas of a standard used to create assessments
Measurement Topic - Come from focus statements. They are the broad ideas that span
multiple grade. Should be assessed multiple times
Point Score - Used to determine the percentage of available points earned, which gets
translated on a proficiency scale.
Declarative vs Procedural Knowledge - declarative knowledge = knowledge, facts,
vocabulary, etc.
procedural knowledge = to do, perform, explain, skills, strategies, rules
Parallel Assessments - Unidimensional
Assess full scope of standard
used to determine depth of knowledge and track progress on a standard
Reliability and Validity - *Reliable* - consistent under different conditions
*Valid* - measure what they are supposed to measure; accurate
