EDUC 6306 - Instructional Design I and Education Evaluation
Credit Hours: 3
The point of assessment initially is to validate and confirm student achievement, i.e., to determine that students learned and performed what was expected of them; and then subsequently to determine if the teacher’s instruction had the overall intended impact. Consequently, assessment and evaluation must always be in harmony with instructional goals and activities. Assessment today implies a wide range of evaluative tools and activities from performance assessments to traditional pencil and paper measures. Critics of testing deem that schools should deemphasize and even replace knowledge-level testing with a greater use of “authentic” or “real world” assessments. The reality is that performance-based learning and/or any kind of learning has a “cognitive” base requiring some sort of knowledge and understanding. Throughout the course, the emphasis will be given to principles and practices appropriate to testing and performance assessment for complete and comprehensive evaluation at the student, classroom and school level. In all cases, the emphasis will be on the dynamic relationship of achievement assessment, instruction and student learning
