EDU 645 Week 3 DQ 2 Performance/Authentic
Assessments (Ash) For more course tutorials
visit www.edu645.com
  • Performance/Authentic Assessments. The authors
    state that there is a temptation to limit the
    scoring criteria to those qualities of
    performance that are easiest to rate rather than
    the most important required for doing an
    effective job (KubiszynBorich, 2010). What do
    they mean by this? Explain the benefits and
    challenges of incorporating performance
    assessments, and evaluate their overall

tutorials visit www.edu645.com

    only reflect academic achievement, and not other
    factors like effort or attitude? Could including
    factors like these in the marking data affect
    instructional decisions that need to be made?
    Explain. Respond to at least two of your peers,
    providing feedback on their support for or

    assessment, and how your assessment addresses the
    four categories of sources of error identified in
    the text, thereby promoting accuracy.

19
EDU 645 Innovative Educator
EDU 645 Week 5 DQ 1 Correlation and Causality
(Ash) For more course tutorials
visit www.edu645.com
  • EDU 645 Week5
  • Correlation and Causality. According to the
    authors of the textbook, one of the most
    frequent misinterpretations in statistics (and in
    education) is to infer that because two variables
    are correlated with one another, one variable
    causes the other (KubiszynBorich, 2010).

20
EDU 645 Innovative Educator

    Microsoft Word, create a mind map that represents
    the various types of validity and reliability,
    and explains why they are important in learning
    and assessment. Then, post your mind map to the
    discussion forum, either as an attachment (for
    Word documents) or pasted link (for Mindmeister).
    View your classmates mind maps

(Ash) For more course tutorials
visit www.edu645.com
  • EAccuracy and Error. The authors of your
    textbook state that all tests and scores are
    imperfect and are subject to error
    (KubiszynBorich, 2010). What do they mean by
    this? Why is it important to recognize that there
    is no perfect test? Knowing this, what can you
    do to ensure that you obtain the most accurate
    assessment results as possible?
