When we think about tests in schools, we often picture students shuffling papers at their desks. They fill in short answers to questions, respond to multiple-choice style options, or write brief essays. The majority of their cognitive effort is focused on searching their memory to find appropriate responses to the test items, or applying formulae t...
Numeracy and literacy are “made-up” concepts. These concepts (known as “constructs” in academic literature) are not tangible objects that can easily be measured by their weight or height. These constructs lack inherent measurement propertiesindependent of human definition. This presents educators with a dilemma. We need to assess student-learning o...
We use proxy measures for many things, physical as well as conceptual. For example, in forensic science, when skeletons are incomplete, the height can be estimated using the length of the arm or leg. These proxies work well, as opposed to say teeth, because they are reasonably accurate and relate closely with height. The quality of our measurements...
Through the last few decades, pen and paper tests have been the main method used to assess educational outcomes. For literacy and numeracy, this makes reasonable sense, since the learning outcome can be demonstrated in much the same way as the applied skill itself is typically demonstrated. However, for other skills of increasing interest in the ed...
To succeed in the 21st century, all students will need to 1) master core academic subjects, 2) perform to high standards, and 3) gain the cognitive and social skills that enable them to deal with the complex problems of our age.
