Name__________________________
Assessment Fill in the blank next to the question with either “criterion-referenced” or “norm referenced” to describe which assessment is being used in the given situation. _________ An individual is taking his or her driver’s license exam and must not make more than
three errors. _________ The ACT and SAT are examples of this kind of assessment because they compare students to other students nationwide. _________ Students are given a percentage grade directly proportional to the number of correct answers to total questions. For example, if a student correctly answered nine out of ten questions on a math test, that student would receive a 90%.
_________ Students take standardized tests in fourth, eighth, and twelfth grades to compare results with other schools from around the state. State whether the following statements are true or false.
_________ An assessment where there is a cut off line between pass and fail is known as mastery testing. _________ If students are being compared to one another on a standardized test in the same grade, this is an example of criterion-referenced assessment. _________ If a particular student performs in the 90
th
percentile on a standardized test, that student performed better than 90% of the students that took the same test. _________ The normal bell curve has a perfect normal distribution.
Short Essay Questions
Explain in a short essay (3-5 sentences), using topics from the reading and the class lecture to support your argument, if norm-referenced or criterion-referenced assessment is more appropriate given the following scenarios:
REMEMBER to support your argument; do not give a simple two word answer as this will be counted incorrectly. 1.
You want to assess whether or not all of your students need review before moving on to a new topic. How would you go about assessing your students? 2.
You are a 6
th
grade math teacher who uses different teaching strategies than the teacher in the other sixth grade section at your school. You two are interested to see if one strategy works better than another, and throughout the year you will be comparing your students’ achievement levels to determine this. Describe how you would both assess your students to determine which strategy has worked best on your most recent math unit. (Note: you do not need
to go into specific detail about the math or the unit, just describe the keys for the assessment.)
