writing assignment

Journal entry assignment:

For this assignment, "think of a fictitious new test which can be either a large-scale assessment or a local classroom assessment. Briefly describe in your journal entry what the test is designed to measure. Next, address how you would go about gathering validity evidence for this test and be as specific as possible. " This test could be anything such as one you might use in your classroom or a larger assessments and you don't have to go into a lot of detail. Also, address ways that the reliability could have been increased. Below are some examples of acceptable test descriptions from other students: (you cannot use these, they are only example to show you).

• "My fictitious test was developed to measure 2nd graders understanding of capitalization and punctuation within text."

• "I have designed a math test for third grade students to determine if students can identify the place value and value of each digit for six digit numerals (Virginia SOL 3.1(a))."

I have also provided a summary of different ways to gather validity evidence in the (attached) word document entitled “Sources of Validity Evidence Overview.final” which you can use as a guide when discussing how you would go about gathering validity evidence.

NOTE: No word limit but it can be between one and a half pages to two pages (double spaced).
