This week I finalized my 5 questions on my Assessment Design Checklist. The most obvious change that I made from the past two weeks was adding my fifth question, however there is another important change that I would like to address.
On ADC 1.0 the first question I created was "Does my assessment provide me with insight to inform my teaching?" On ADC 2.0, I created a new question "Is my assessment part of the instruction process", which I later changed to "Does my assessment reveal information regrading how instruction should be adapted to advance my students learning?" based on feedback from my instructor. While I was completing the Peer Feedback assignment, I realized as I was trying to give feedback that I didn't feel there was enough distinction between my two questions:
"Does my assessment provide me with insight to inform my teaching?" and,
"Does my assessment reveal information regrading how instruction should be adapted to advance my students learning?"
This motivated me to rewrite my first question as "Does my assessment provide me with insight regarding student progress towards learning objectives?"
Now, I felt like there was a clear distinction between the two questions. The first question focuses on my assessments ability to give me information about my students progress, understanding and misconceptions. The second question focuses on my instruction and how it can be adapted. After rewriting these questions I felt like I was able to use these questions to give good feedback, and I will now be able to use them going forward as I design my assessments.
