![]() There are multiple different student samples that I obtained that were ongoing and these examples were how I measured the students' mastery of performance goals set forth by the state of South Carolina. Because the purpose of my teaching is mostly behavior based, this was extremely helpful. Here is an example of a Weebly that I created that was an ongoing assessment of the knowledge my students obtained from the performance objectives. I really like Dick and Careys five steps for measuring performances, products, or attitudes. The first thing we want to look at is the various types of items you can use when creating assessment instruments. Case in mind, when I teach my students about science, I can give them performance tasks in order to measure their knowledge. An in-depth look at developing assessment instruments is explored. To me this is like an oxymoron, we are expected to teach to an achievement test, but sometimes when it stated as simply as so, educators can assume that this means we must always test our students knowledge in the dinosaur fashion we are used to. This paper explores the instructional design process, specifically Dick, Carey, and Carey’s systems approach model. The assessments should directly measure the learner’s ability to meet the performance objectives. Interestingly, the model advocates for designing any learning assessments, such as the final quiz or knowledge test, before the learning content. With your performance objectives clearly articulated, the Dick and Carey model then moves into the development phase. In the text The Systematic Design of Instruction, by Walter Dick, Lou Carey, and James Carey, it refers to achievement testing and states that it is "at the forefront of the school-reform movement in the United States, and learner-centered assessment permeates he school-reform literature" (p.137).
