ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES AND PRAXIS

Catalog description

Students gain an understanding of the complexities of designing, collecting, analyzing and evaluating student performance data. Both formative and summative assessment practices are examined. Additionally, students determine best practices in inference-making based on data and consider pedagogical and evaluative choices that rely on the quality of data that they collect, both from their own design and assessment data from vendors. Students consider how qualitative data about individual learners can be collected and analyzed to strengthen the validity and reliability of the decisions made about learning outcomes.
