Proficiency Scales - ANSWERS -Measure student achievement of
knowledge and skills in standards over time.
Half Point Score Values - ANSWERS -Used in proficiency scales
for mastery at one level, but does not meet all of the criteria for the next level.
Generic Scale - ANSWERS -Used for every topic where students
are rated 1-4 based on their knowledge. These are not topic- specific; for example, a level 3 is on grade level, but no other specific information is provided.
Consistency of Behavior - ANSWERS -Not to be used on a
proficiency scale, as this is a qualifying type of scale which uses the words sometimes, always, seldom etc.
Definitional Declarative Knowledge - ANSWERS -Defining
characteristics of something, describe or explain
Cognitive Analysis Declarative Knowledge - ANSWERS -
Determining, organizing, analysis
Mental Procedural Knowledge - ANSWERS -Skills or processes,
evaluates
Parallel Assessments - ANSWERS -Monitor students growth on
the same skills multiple times.
Measurement Topics - ANSWERS -Concepts
Declarative Knowledge - ANSWERS -Understanding concepts
without application
Procedural Knowledge - ANSWERS -Demonstration is a method
of illustrating procedural knowledge
Parallel Assessments - ANSWERS -given to measure student
progress on one standard over time
Unidimensionality - ANSWERS -Parallel Assessments
Parallel Assessments - ANSWERS -remove much of the error
from student scores to provide a true score
Point Scoring Method - ANSWERS -It is used to determine the
percentage of available points a student earned on sections of a test, which is translated into a score on a proficiency scale
Response Code Scoring - ANSWERS -Each student answer is
marked with labels, and the pattern of labels is then examined to determine the student's level of proficiency.
method of mounting evidence - ANSWERS -It estimates
summative scores over time based on observed patterns
method of mathematical models - ANSWERS -uses technology
to estimate a student's true summative score that occurs at any point in timeUses
best-fit model - ANSWERS -It is determined by comparing error
rates between the true scores predicted and the actual scores observed
Marzano Growth Calculator - ANSWERS -uses the linear,
curvilinear, and average mathematical models
Marzano Growth Calculator - ANSWERS -It calculates true
summative scores using three mathematical models to determine the best-fit model
observed score - ANSWERS -includes the true score, which
indicates the student's true understanding of a measurement topic, and the error score, which is based on factors excluding the student's understanding
observed score - ANSWERS -true score + error score
complexity levels from the proficiency scale to which the assessment will be aligned How do proficiency scales address weaknesses in standardized
performance assessments? - ANSWERS -By providing specific
feedback to students
parallel assessments - ANSWERS -They assess the full scope of
a standard or learning objective.
standard four-point proficiency scale - ANSWERS -Include a
decreasing number of items for each level as complexity increases
Item types - ANSWERS -component of an assessment blueprint
increases complexity
A screener - ANSWERS -should be included in the assessment
blueprint to ensure the proper complexity levels are assessed for each student
Summative Score - ANSWERS -Most frequent score used on
method of mounting evidence mathematical models used in standards-based grading -
ANSWERS -To estimate student true summative scores
True Scores - ANSWERS -True scores are accurate measures of
student knowledge, but efforts should be made to reduce assessment errors
Decaying Average - ANSWERS -a calculation method that places
more weight on recently scored materials
Proficiency Scale - ANSWERS -allow multiple formative scores to
estimate a summative score.
