  1. Performance Assessment: More than a WebQuest and a Rubric Darrell Pearson, Ph.D. Krista P. Terry, Ph.D. College of Education, Troy State University

  2. Introduction • What is performance assessment? • Collection of data used to make educational decisions • http://www.ncrel.org/sdrs/areas/as0cont.htm • How does technology affect assessment? • Offers other avenues for collecting data and assessing knowledge and skills

  3. Overview • 7 Step model* • Focuses on identifying learning outcomes • Includes technology-based products • http://www.temple.edu/CETP/temple_teach/a-Authen.html • Resources available to help generate appropriate assessment tools *Model based on Maryland Schools MSPAP: http://www.mdk12.org/instruction/success_mspap/general/steps_taskdesign.html

  4. Step 1: Standards • What are they? • The skills, knowledge or attitudes we would like our students to possess • Where do they come from? • Many different sources – state level course of studies, national organizations, etc.

  5. Standards -- Examples • ISTE/NETS – technology standards for teachers and students • http://iste.cnets.org • Physics • http://www.aapt.org • Business • http://www.aacsb.edu • Engineering • http://www.abet.org

  6. Standards - Examples

  7. Step 2: Benchmarks/Objectives • Breaking down standards into smaller units that we can see and observe • Instructional objectives • Drives development of evaluation/assessment rubrics • Resources for developing instructional objectives: http://www.gsu.edu/~mstmbs/CrsTools/Magerobj.html http://edweb.sdsu.edu/courses/EDTEC540/objectives/ObjectivesHome.html http://www.adnovakco.com/Objstd.htm

  8. Step 3: Creating Meaningful Context • What is context? • Environment/factors that provide meaning to messages learners receive • Examples of instructional contexts • Real issues/student interests/themes • Computer generated contexts • Creation/Simulation/Situation Exploration/ • Game/Tutorial/Drill & Practice/Real

  9. Step 4: Identify Thinking Skills and Processes • Consider higher order thinking and processing skills to be demonstrated within context • Critical thinking skills and processes • http://www.coun.uvic.ca/learn/program/hndouts/bloom.html • http://cybersummit.org/proficiency/CriticalTh.htm

  10. Step 5: Identify Product or Performance • How student will demonstrate learning outcomes? • (written, oral, visual?) • Solicits faculty and student creativity in selecting product/demonstration of outcomes • Purpose of assessment • Alternative means for demonstrating learning outcome • Student and faculty motivation/creativity • Apply to real-world context

  11. Step 5: Identify Product or Performance • For whom is it intended? • Future employer, students, portfolio development • What is the faculty role? • Identify parameters – materials, development process, support, etc • Delineate responsibilities • What is the role of the student in this performance process? • Apply instruction content within defined parameters

  12. Step 5: Identify Product or Performance • Examples: • http://prism.troyst.edu/~chatgood/ • http://prism.troyst.edu/~lheringer/

  13. Step 6: Identify evaluation criteria • Refer to benchmarks/objectives • What types of observable performances/product will you be looking for? • What defines levels of competency? • (did not meet, met, exceeded) • May be based on school/district standards or professional standards • http://www.wooster.edu/biology/dfraga/assessment/assessment_pdf_files/Q_learning_objectives.pdf

  14. Step 7: Construct rubric • Types of rubrics • Holistic – global feedback (summative) • Analytical – more specific (formative) • Rubric generators/examples • http://www.teach-nology.com/web_tools/rubrics/ • http://intranet.cps.k12.il.us/Assessments/Ideas_and_Rubrics/Rubric_Bank/rubric_bank.html • http://webquest.sdsu.edu/rubrics/rubrics.html • http://edweb.sdsu.edu/triton/july/rubrics/Rubric_Guidelines.html
