Overview
Description
Designed for undergraduate and masters-level introduction to general education assessment courses
This package includes a print book and MyEducationLab with Enhanced Pearson eText.
This book is best known for its focus on teaching pre-service teachers how to involve students in the assessment process and how to use assessment as a tool to advance learning. Those who use Chappuis/Stiggins should understand and be able to do the following assessment tasks upon completing Student-Involved Assessment FOR Learning: (1) establish clear learning targets as the basis for instruction and assessment, (2) select assessment methods that align with those learning targets, (3) select and/or create high-quality assessments that accurately measure student progress to the learning targets, (4) clearly communicate assessment results to learners for both formative and summative purposes, and (5) involve students in the assessment process to develop their capabilities to be self-directed learners.
From reviews of the text:
“The overall theme of this text is that assessment is a deliberate, thoughtful process done on many levels that can enhance and guide the instructional process. This text moves students from the general (What is assessment?) to the specific (How do you create multiple choice tests that will provide valid and reliable data?) . . . . The focus on assessment for learning . . . is an important way of considering assessment that most students do not think about.”
Leigh Ausband, UNC Charlotte
“I believe [this text] has the capacity to reshape teacher candidates’ conceptions of assessment as a central teaching and learning tool."
Christopher DeLuca, University of South Florida
“This text lays out assessment design for beginners. It is clear and easy to read…. The overall clarity of the text makes this textbook an important tool in educating pre-service teachers.”
Xyanthe Neider, Washington State University
MyEducationLab is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with the text to engage learners and to improve learning. Within its structured environment, learners see key concepts demonstrated through real classroom video footage, practice what they learn, test their understanding, and receive feedback to guide their learning and to ensure their mastery of key learning outcomes.
Reviews
From reviews of the text:
“The text clearly lays out assessment design for beginners. It is clear and easy to read. . . . The overall clarity of the text makes this textbook an important tool in educating pre-service teachers.”
Xyanthe Neider, Washington State University
“The overall theme of this text is that assessment is a deliberate, thoughtful process done on many levels that can enhance and guide the instructional process. The text moves students from the general (What is assessment?) to the specific (How do you create a multiple choice test that will provide valid and reliable data?), helping students understand the vital connection between instruction and assessment along the way. . . . The focus on assessment for learning . . . is an important way of considering assessment that most students do not think about. . . . As school districts begin using the Common Core standards, incorporating assessment for learning should become an important component of instruction. This text helps students understand the many facets of thinking about assessment this way and helps them learn how to design their assessments to be used in this way.”
Leigh Ausband, UNC Charlotte
“This text is a valuable addition to . . . classroom assessment textbooks because of its focus on promoting assessment for learning. . . . [M]any existing textbooks do not use this terminology (assessment for, of, and as learning) rather [they] rely on more traditional notions of formative and summative assessment. The newer terminology brings with it more contemporary uses and conceptions of assessment that serve a mandate to support learning through integrated assessments. This message is made clear throughout the text. I also appreciate that the textbook draws on traditional teachings in assessment to establish that assessment for learning does not require a whole new set of assessment techniques. . . . [This text] advances an important (new) mission for educational assessment. I hope it is widely adopted, as I believe it has the capacity to reshape teacher candidates’ conceptions of assessment as a central teaching and learning tool.”
Christopher DeLuca, University of South Florida
Features
MyEducationLab is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with the text to engage learners and to improve learning. Within its structured environment, learners see key concepts demonstrated through real classroom video footage, practice what they learn, test their understanding, and receive feedback to guide their learning and to ensure their mastery of key learning outcomes.
Designed to bring learners more directly into the world of K-12 classrooms and to help them see the real and powerful impact of the assessment concepts covered in this book, MyEducationLab provides practice using classroom assessment concepts in teaching situations, helps students and instructors see how well students understand the content, and helps students more deeply process assessment concepts and strategies and also better understand how to use those concepts as a teacher. The online resources in this MyEducationLab include:
- Video Examples. Throughout the eText, embedded videos provide illustrations of sound assessment practices in action. For examples, see pages 27 and 34.
- Self-Check Quizzes. Throughout the chapters, students will find MyEducationLab self-check quizzes. These quizzes help assess how well students have mastered chapter learning outcomes. The self-check quizzes consist of self-grading multiple choice items that provide rationales, both for questions answered correctly and for questions answered incorrectly. For examples, see pages 21 and 30.
- Application Exercises. These scaffolded exercises, tied to learning outcomes, challenge learners to reflect on assessment and to apply what they have learned to real classroom assessment work. For examples, see pages 21 and 30.
Additional text features and benefits include:
- Provides step-by-step guidance on how to accurately assess different types of learning targets. For a couple examples see the Assessing Knowledge Targets Accurately section, pages 86-93, and the summary chart on page 93.
- Presents assessment as a tool to facilitate student learning. See Communicating Learning Targets to Students section, pages 67-74; From the Classroom on pages 72, 74, and 288-289; and all of Chapter 10: Students Collecting and Reflecting on Evidence of Their Learning .
- Presents step-by-step guidance on how to develop assessments. For an example, see Creating a High-Quality Written Response Assessment on pages 151-171.
- Helps teachers to understand how and when to use different types of assessments. Some examples include the following text sections: Considerations When Using Selected Response Assessment section, page 113; Considerations When Using Written Response Assessment section, page 148; Considerations When Using Performance Assessment section, page 182; and Considerations When Assessing Via Personal Communication section, page 231.
- Provides concrete guidance on how to unpack complex content standards into lesson-level learning targets. See Deconstructing Complex Content Standards section on pages 63-67 and From the Classroom on page 67.
New to This Edition
MyEducationLab. The most visible change in the seventh edition (and one of the most significant) is the expansion of the digital learning and assessment resources embedded in the new MyEducationLab with Enhanced Pearson eText. Designed to bring learners more directly into the world of K-12 classrooms and to help them see the very real impact that educational assessment concepts and practices have on teaching and learning, MyEducationLab provides practice using educational assessment concepts and practices in teaching and learning situations. It also helps learners process educational assessment concepts more deeply and better understand how to use them as a teacher. Resources in the Chappuis/Stiggins MyEducationLab include:
- Video Examples. Throughout the eText, embedded videos provide illustrations of sound assessment practices in action. For examples, see pages 27 and 34.
- Self-Check Quizzes. Throughout the chapters, learners will find MyEducationLab and self-check quizzes. These quizzes help assess how well they have mastered chapter learning outcomes. The self-check quizzes consist of self-grading multiple choice items that provide rationales for answers, both for questions answered correctly and for questions ansered incorrectly. For examples, see pages 21 and 30.
- Application Exercises. These scaffolded exercises, tied to learning outcomes, challenge learners to reflect on assessment and to apply what they have learned to real classroom assessment work. For examples, see pages 21 and 30.
Key Text Content Changes:
- Expanded coverage on providing feedback. Some examples include the Feedback Conferences section on pages 327-330 and the Goal Setting Conferences section on pages 330-335.
- A new chapter on teaching students how to use assessment as a learning tool. See Chapter 10--Students Collecting and Reflecting on Evidence of Their Learning.
- Updated and expanded coverage of content standards and learning targets. See Content Standards Developed by National Organizations and Consortia on pages 45-67; Reasoning Targets on page 54; Performance Skill Targets on page 57; and Product Targets on page 58.
- Expanded coverage of how to design and audit performance tasks (pages 188-196) and rubrics (pages 196-217).
