Technology to Support Next-Generation Classroom Formative Assessment for Learning

This paper focuses on the ways that technologies can support effective formative assessment practices, including planning, implementing, and adjusting classroom instruction. Author Edys Quellmalz of WestEd explores

Performance Assessment Links In Science (PALS)

This searchable resource contains a list of performance assessment tasks, aligned with and linked to National Science Education Standards. The resources are collected from a variety of reputable sources, such as the Third Annual Math and Science Study (TIMMS) and the NY State Education Department. The tasks include student directions and response forms, administration procedures, scoring rubrics, examples of student work, and technical quality data calculated from field testing. On-line rater training packets have also been created for some tasks. Educational levels: Primary elementary, Intermediate elementary, Middle school, High school

Perspectives on the integration of technology and assessment

A cross the disciplines, technologies have expanded the phenomena that can be investigated, the nature of argumentation, and the use of evidence. Technologies allow representations of domains, systems, models, data, and their manipulation in ways that previously were not possible. Dynamic models of ecosystems or molecular structures help scientists visualize and communicate complex interactions. Models of population density permit investigations of economic and social issues. This move from static to dynamic models has changed the nature of inquiry among professionals as well as the way that academic disciplines can be taught. Correspondingly, a new generation of assessments is well on its way to transforming what, how, when, where, and why assessment occurs and its linkages to teaching and learning. Powered by the ever-increasing capabilities of technology, these 21 st century approaches to assessment expand the potential for test
