Evaluating Taxonomic Approaches: A Comparative Study Of Educational Frameworks Applied To Mathematics Assessments, Lily Roth
Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects
The design of effective assessments and reporting of a student’s achievement on learning objectives are often overlooked, leaving educational stakeholders lacking the ability to create meaningful evaluations. To assist in creating substantial mathematics assessments this work seeks to answer the following research questions: ‘How can educational taxonomies be utilized to improve the design of mathematics assessments’? and ‘What are the strengths and weaknesses of applying different taxonomies onto mathematics assessments?’. The purpose of this study is to (1) develop a practical design instrument for easier identification and categorization of assessment questions within each educational taxonomy structure and (2) evaluate the …
The Influence Of A Course On Assessment For Inservice Secondary Mathematics Teachers, Natalie M. Anderson
The Influence Of A Course On Assessment For Inservice Secondary Mathematics Teachers, Natalie M. Anderson
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Many mathematics teachers are not prepared to design valid and usable measurements of their students’ mathematical achievements. There are relatively few opportunities for mathematics teachers to improve their assessment literacy. The purpose of this study is to (1) design a course on assessment for inservice mathematics teachers and (2) evaluate the effectiveness of the course. This paper recounts the development of the course and its influence on 16 teachers. Teachers who completed the course submitted a unit outline with learning objectives, a test blueprint, and a unit test. These artifacts influenced my evaluation on the effectiveness of the course. All …
