Validity
This term describes how a test in Trigonometry measures student understanding in Trigonometry, and based on the scores, the teacher can draw conclusions about student understanding in Trigonometry.
What is validity?
This refers to how tests consistently measure what they are supposed to measure.
What is reliability?
Teachers often use this term instead of the word inference.
What is interpretation?
Teachers cannot see this type of knowledge or skills no matter how closely they look. For example, teachers can see how well students understand the story plots after reading the story silently.
What is covert?
In order to construct this, teachers collect evidence on how their interpretation is accurate and suitable for the purpose of the test.
What is validity argument?
This refers to how student's test score on Wednesday is similar to the one on Thursday if the same test is given.
What is test-retest reliability?
This refers how the decisions (e.g., passing or failing) are consistent based on the assessment scores.
What are decision-consistency?
This refers to the type of response students to give to their teacher when a reading comprehension test is given to measure their level of understanding the story plot.
What is overt?
Teachers use this to gauge whether students who are well-taught in the topic of polynomial operations also score high on the test on polynomial operations.
What is instructional sensitivity?
This refers to the degree to which different forms of a test yield results that are consistent. For example, teachers give test version A and test version B and see how a student scores consistently on both versions.
What is alternate-form reliability evidence?
This is an indicator of consistency that the scores of one student instead of a group of students.
What is the standard error of measurement?
Teachers use this measure to gauge how individual student's score is difference of the average score of a set of test scores in class.
What is standard deviation?
This refers a conclusion that a teacher draws about student understanding in Unit 1 based on the results of Unit 1 assessment.
What is inference?
This refers to a type of reliability when a teacher uses different test questions to measure student understanding in polynomial functions within the same test.
What is internal consistency reliability?
This refers to a grading guide that teachers use to measure how well students' linear programming projects meet the district standards or academic expectations.
What is a rubric?
Teachers often compute this to measure how a score from one test is connected to a score from another test. For example, teachers look at students' scores on their practice EOC test and see how they are related to their actual EOC test grades.
What is correlation coefficient?
