“Educational assessment seeks to determine just how well students are learning and is an integral part of our quest for improved education.”
- Educational assessment is the systematic process of gathering, interpreting, and using evidence about learning or educational outcomes.
- Educational Measurement
- A model of learning identifies what competence means in a subject; tasks or situations elicit performances that could reveal that competence; an interpretation process turns the fallible observations into claims.
This sourceDevelops the cognition–observation–interpretation assessment triangle and the requirement that the three elements support one another.
- A model of learning identifies what competence means in a subject; tasks or situations elicit performances that could reveal that competence; an interpretation process turns the fallible observations into claims.
Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 3 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
