Study Notes

Significant Culminating Task and Success Indicator

At the end of the lesson, students should be able to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in selecting appropriate criteria and analyzing results from non-traditional forms of assessment like performance tasks, scales, and checklists.
To be considered successful, students must satisfy at least the following indicators of success:

Quantifying Results from Rubrics

In creating rubrics, scales are used to represent the degree of performance, ranging from high to low proficiency.
Examples of degrees of proficiency with corresponding points include:
- Beginner (1 point) to Very Proficient (4 points)
- Poor (1 point) to Very Good (4 points)
- Minimal (1 point) to Complete (3 points)
- Never (1 point) to Always (5 points)
- Novice (1 point) to Superior (4 points)
- Inadequate (1 point) to Excellent (4 points)
The reliability of assigned points can be determined by using multiple raters or judges to rate the performance, and then calculating the consistency of the ratings using a coefficient of concordance, such as Kendall's w coefficient of concordance.

Using Kendall's w Coefficient of Concordance

To calculate Kendall's w coefficient of concordance, first compute the scores given by each rater, then sum the ratings for each demonstration.
Calculate the mean and sum of squared differences, then substitute these values into the Kendall's w formula.
The resulting coefficient of concordance indicates the level of agreement among the raters.

Quantifying Results from Scales and Checklists

Scales can be used to measure non-cognitive dimensions of students' behavior, with higher scores indicating a higher frequency of the behavior.
Types of scales include:
- Linear numeric scale, which provides a range of rating options with descriptors for the extreme points.
- Semantic scale differential, which uses two opposite adjectives to describe the object or behavior.
- Graphic scale, which uses illustrations to represent the degree of presence or absence of a characteristic.

Quantifying Results from Portfolio Assessment

Portfolio assessment data can be both qualitative and quantitative.
When assessing portfolios using a quantitative approach, scales and rubrics can be used.
Criteria for assessing portfolios include:
- Completeness of the entries
- Accuracy of the reflection
- Other criteria specific to the portfolio being assessed.
