ABSTRACT The study explored the latent construct underlying the assessment conceptions and practices of Finnish Health Education teachers (n = 165) in the context of curricula, seeking thereby to identify the teachers’ assessment profiles. Six underlying factors were found to encompass their assessment conceptions and practices, namely Assessment supporting learning, Assessment of working, Self and peer assessment as part of grading, Common assessment criteria, Questionable assessment practices, and Norm-referenced assessment. Via cluster analysis, three distinct assessment profiles were identified, labeled as Problematic assessors, Learning supportive assessors, and Norm-based assessors. These findings can be used to develop Health Education teacher training and facilitate teachers’ assessment literacy.
摘要本研究探讨了芬兰健康教育教师(165名)在课程背景下的评估概念和实践的潜在结构,从而试图确定教师的评估概况。六个基本因素包含了他们的评估概念和实践,即支持学习的评估、工作评估、作为评分一部分的自我和同伴评估、通用评估标准、有问题的评估实践和规范参考评估。通过聚类分析,确定了三个不同的评估概况,标记为问题评估者,学习支持评估者和基于规范的评估者。研究结果可用于健康教育教师培训的发展和教师评价素养的提升。

ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to theoretically explore how Hip Hop pedagogy can be utilized and implemented in K-12 classroom formative assessment practices. As a conceptual paper, there will be five sections. The first section will explore classroom formative assessment definitions and highlight theoretical frameworks used to conceptualize the pedagogical practice. The next section will begin to formulate aspects of an antiracist classroom formative assessment theoretical framework. The third section will explore how Hip Hop pedagogy can be used as an antiracist classroom formative assessment approach, while the fourth section will address considerations and objections related to such usage. The final section will end with a call to action for educational researchers, professionals, and practitioners who want to interrogate and investigate how to overcome systematic racism and oppression in our classroom assessment research and practice.

ABSTRACT The education measurement community has centered the idea of test fairness in both theory and practice. Yet, racial justice advocates in education research and practice (the racial justice community) have consistently critiqued that assessments are hardly fair and play a critical and outsized role in contributing to racial and social inequities in the educational system and larger society. We attempt to unpack two communities’ different perspectives and different conclusions about fairness and assessments. We argue that these differences are rooted in the historical makeup of these communities, how they bound the issue of fairness, how they evaluate fairness, and how they consider the consequences of assessment both contemporaneously and historically. We conclude by contending that progress with respect to equity and justice will require an appreciation of and grappling with the nature of these differences and attention to boundaryspanners who have long identified with both communities.
摘要教育计量界在理论和实践上都以考试公平为中心。然而,教育研究和实践中的种族正义倡导者(种族正义界)一直批评,评估很难公平,在助长教育系统和更大社会中的种族和社会不平等方面发挥着关键和巨大的作用。我们试图揭示两个社区对公平和评估的不同观点和不同结论。我们认为,这些差异植根于这些社区的历史构成,他们如何约束公平问题,他们如何评估公平,以及他们如何在同一时期和历史上考虑评估的后果。最后,我们认为,在公平和正义方面取得进展需要认识和努力解决这些差异的性质,并关注长期认同这两个社区的边界人。

At the end of 2020 we put out a call for full-length empirical papers and short conceptual contributions examining how the coronavirus or COVID-19 pandemic and racial inequities were affecting the educational assessment of students, either separately or in combination, as the health crisis was viewed as a factor intersecting with and exacerbating existing racial inequities in educational systems. The papers in this special issue attend to such issues as how challenges implementing virtual standardized testing during the coronavirus pandemic impacted academic performance, how educational and assessment experiences may differ for diverse groups of school-age students, and how traditional assessment approaches are being reconsidered in response to mounting research evidence and growing concerns around enduring social and racial inequities faced by Black, Latinx, Asian, Indigenous, and other nonwhite citizens and communities. The papers offer needed empirical evidence, innovative methodological approaches, and theoretical and substantive examinations of the effects of the twin pandemics.
2020年底,我们呼吁撰写完整的实证论文和简短的概念性文章,研究冠状病毒或新冠肺炎大流行和种族不平等如何单独或结合影响学生的教育评估,因为健康危机被视为一个与教育系统中现有的种族不平等现象交叉并加剧的因素。本期特刊的论文关注的问题包括:在冠状病毒大流行期间实施虚拟标准化测试的挑战如何影响学习成绩,不同学龄学生群体的教育和评估体验如何不同,以及如何重新考虑传统的评估方法,以应对越来越多的研究证据和对黑人、拉丁裔、亚裔、土著和其他非白人公民和社区面临的持久社会和种族不平等日益增长的担忧。这些论文提供了所需的经验证据、创新的方法论方法,以及对这两种流行病影响的理论和实质性检验。

ABSTRACT The arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic had a profound effect on K-12 education. Most schools transitioned to remote instruction, and some used remote testing to assess student learning. Remote testing, however, is less controlled than in-school testing, leading to concerns regarding test-taking engagement. This study compared the disengagement of students remotely administered an adaptive interim assessment in spring 2020 with their disengagement on the assessment administered in-school during fall 2019. Results showed that disengagement gradually increased across grade level. This pattern was not meaningfully different between the two testing contexts, with the exception of results for American Indian/Alaska Native students, who showed higher disengagement under remote testing. In addition, the test’s engagement feature – which automatically paused the test event of a disengaged student and notified the test proctor – had a consistently positive impact whether the proctor was in the same room as the student or proctoring was done remotely.
摘要新冠肺炎疫情的到来对K-12教育产生了深远影响。大多数学校过渡到远程教学,一些学校使用远程测试来评估学生的学习情况。然而,远程测试的控制不如学校测试,这引发了人们对参与测试的担忧。这项研究将2020年春季远程进行适应性中期评估的学生的脱离接触与2019年秋季在学校进行的评估的脱离接触进行了比较。结果显示,脱离接触在各个年级逐渐增加。这种模式在两种测试环境中没有显著差异,但美国印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民学生的结果除外,他们在远程测试中表现出更高的脱离感。此外,无论监考员与学生在同一个房间,还是远程监考,考试的参与功能都会自动暂停空闲学生的考试活动,并通知监考员,这一功能都会产生持续的积极影响。

ABSTRACT The “twin pandemics” of racial injustice and COVID-19 have underscored the importance of promoting civic knowledge, skills, dispositions, and engagement among the nation’s young people. Although some evidence has demonstrated that civic-learning opportunities are inequitably distributed across U.S. schools and communities, we currently have limited data that could help inform efforts to promote more equitable access to these opportunities. In this article, we draw on a recent National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine report on equity indicators to explore the potential value of a large-scale system of such indicators for civic learning. We highlight the need for indicators of both opportunities to learn and of learning outcomes. We describe key features of this system, propose some example indicators, and discuss a research agenda that could contribute to the development of high-quality measures of equity in civic learning.
种族不平等和2019冠状病毒病这两大“孪生流行病”凸显了促进美国年轻人的公民知识、技能、性格和参与的重要性。尽管一些证据表明,公民学习机会在美国学校和社区之间的分配是不公平的,但我们目前的数据有限,无法帮助我们努力促进更公平地获得这些机会。在本文中,我们借鉴了美国国家科学院、工程院和医学院最近的一份关于公平指标的报告,探讨了这种指标大规模系统对公民学习的潜在价值。我们强调需要制定学习机会和学习成果指标。我们描述了该系统的主要特征,提出了一些示例指标,并讨论了一个研究议程,该议程可能有助于开发公民学习公平的高质量衡量标准。

ABSTRACT Recent research provides evidence that an intersectional approach to defining reference and focal groups results in a higher percentage of comparisons flagged for potential DIF. The study presented here examined the generalizability of this pattern across methods for examining DIF. While the level of DIF detection differed among the four methods examined, the pattern in which the intersectional approach yielded a substantially larger percentage of flagged comparisons compared to the traditional approach was consistent across three of the four methods. The study explores implications that an intersectional approach to examining differential item functioning has for use by large-scale test development programs and identifies further research needed to support the adoption of an intersectional approach to DIF analyses.
摘要最近的研究提供了证据,证明定义参考群体和焦点群体的跨部门方法会导致潜在DIF的比较比例更高。本文提出的研究检验了这种模式在DIF检查方法中的可推广性。虽然所检查的四种方法的DIF检测水平不同,但与传统方法相比,交叉方法产生的标记比较百分比要高得多,这一模式在四种方法中的三种方法中是一致的。该研究探讨了检查差异项目功能的跨部门方法对大规模测试开发项目的影响,并确定了支持采用跨部门方法进行DIF分析所需的进一步研究。

ABSTRACT Kindergarten entry assessments (KEAs) are frequently used to understand students’ early literacy skills. Amidst COVID-19, such assessments will be vital in understanding how the pandemic has affected early literacy, including how it has contributed to inequities in the educational system. However, the pandemic has also created challenges for comparing scores from KEAs across years and modes of administration. In this study, we examine these issues using a KEA administered to most Kindergarten students in Virginia. This screener was rapidly converted to an online platform to ensure students could continue taking it during the pandemic. Results indicate that the sample of students taking the test shifted substantially pre- and post-pandemic, complicating comparisons of performance. While we do not find evidence of noninvariance by mode at the test level, we do see signs that more subtle forms of item-level bias may be at play. Implications for equity, fairness, and inclusion are discussed.
摘要幼儿园入学评估(KEA)经常被用来了解学生的早期识字能力。在新冠肺炎期间,此类评估对于了解疫情如何影响早期扫盲,包括如何导致教育系统的不平等至关重要。然而,疫情也给比较KEA在不同年份和管理模式下的得分带来了挑战。在这项研究中,我们使用弗吉尼亚州大多数幼儿园学生的KEA来研究这些问题。这个屏幕很快被转换为一个在线平台,以确保学生在疫情期间可以继续使用。结果表明,参加测试的学生样本在疫情前后发生了很大变化,使成绩比较变得复杂。虽然我们没有在测试水平上发现按模式不方差的证据,但我们确实看到了一些迹象,表明更微妙的项目水平偏差可能在起作用。讨论了对公平、公平和包容性的影响。

ABSTRACT As students return to in-person instruction in the 2021–2022 school year, local education agencies (LEAs) must develop resource allocation strategies to support schools in need. Federal programs have provided resources to support restart and recovery. However, there is little consensus on how LEAs can target resources to support those schools most in need. This study investigates the relationship between three school need indicators (i.e., pre-COVID student performance and progress, school and community poverty, and pandemic vulnerability) and measures of student performance and progress throughout the pandemic to determine which indicators support valid school need inferences. We find that school poverty more strongly predicts performance and progress during the pandemic than pre-COVID academic measures. In elementary schools, we find that pandemic vulnerability independently predicts achievement even when conditioning on poverty and pre-pandemic achievement. Of the indicators of poverty we investigated, the percentage of free and reduced-price lunch-eligible students is the strongest predictor.
摘要随着学生在2021-2022学年重返现场教学,当地教育机构(LEA)必须制定资源分配策略,以支持有需要的学校。联邦计划提供了资源来支持重启和恢复。然而,对于LEA如何将资源用于支持那些最需要的学校,几乎没有达成共识。本研究调查了三个学校需求指标(即新冠肺炎疫情前的学生表现和进步、学校和社区贫困以及疫情脆弱性)与整个疫情期间学生表现和进展指标之间的关系,以确定哪些指标支持有效的学校需求推断。我们发现,与新冠疫情前的学术指标相比,学校贫困对疫情期间的表现和进步的预测更为强烈。在小学,我们发现,即使以贫困和疫情前的成绩为条件,疫情的脆弱性也能独立预测成绩。在我们调查的贫困指标中,符合免费和降价午餐条件的学生的百分比是最有力的预测因素。

This study investigates the relationship between three school need indicators (i.e., pre-COVID student performance and progress, school and community poverty, and pandemic vulnerability) and measures of student performance and progress throughout the pandemic to determine which indicators support valid school need inferences. We find that school poverty more strongly predicts performance and progress during the pandemic than pre-COVID academic measures. In elementary schools, we find that pandemic vulnerability independently predicts achievement even when conditioning on poverty and pre-pandemic achievement. Of the indicators of poverty we investigated, the percentage of free and reduced-price lunch-eligible students is the strongest predictor.","PeriodicalId":46209,"journal":{"name":"Educational Assessment","volume":"27 1","pages":"152 - 169"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43224441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT Individual-level score reports represent a common artifact in teacher-parent communication about standardized tests. Previous research has documented challenges in communicating student achievement. Researchers have also leveraged teachers in the process of score report design. Little is known, however, about teachers’ experiences with using score reports in authentic settings. In this study, we used a participatory action research approach in a year-long clinical partnership with four elementary teachers to iteratively propose and assess tools and strategies to support the communication of student test performance. Teachers achieved some success in their efforts, but experienced challenges of sustainability and anticipated peer buy-in. Findings from this study also illustrated a strong presence of tensions in the teachers’ work related to testing and communicating test performance. Overall, involving teachers in participatory research inquiry yielded novel insights for extending score report research and improving operational practice in test companies.
在标准化考试的师生交流中,个人水平的分数报告是一种常见的假象。先前的研究记录了在沟通学生成绩方面的挑战。研究人员还在分数报告设计过程中利用了教师。然而,我们对教师在真实环境中使用分数报告的经验知之甚少。在本研究中,我们采用参与式行动研究方法,与四位小学教师进行为期一年的临床合作,反复提出和评估支持学生考试成绩交流的工具和策略。教师在他们的努力中取得了一些成功,但经历了可持续性的挑战,并期望得到同伴的支持。本研究的结果还表明,教师在测试和沟通测试表现方面的工作中存在强烈的紧张关系。总体而言,让教师参与参与式研究探究为扩展分数报告研究和改进测试公司的操作实践产生了新的见解。
