Now that the No Child Left Behind Act has left its mark on public education, educators across the United States are all the more invested in preparing their students for state and national assessments. In Tests That Teach: Using Standardized Tests to Improve Instruction, Karen Tankersley guides you with proven tips and instructional strategies to help your students perform to their potential. Covering all core contents areas—language arts, social studies, math, and science—and respecting all levels of student performance, Tankersley *Examines the various types of questions that routinely appear on these assessments; *Provides sample multiple-choice and constructed-response questions from the tests; *Offers guidelines on how to create daily lessons that encourage students to practice the skills and demonstrate the knowledge they'll need to use on the high-stakes tests; *Suggests word lists, games, discussion topics, and testing ideas for your classroom; and *Describes how school staff can create a learning community that fosters collaboration among teachers and high performance in students. Also included are a wealth of online resources for lesson plans, daily classroom activities, and virtual field trips, as well as links to every state's released materials on its own assessment. As Tankersley explains, teaching students the skills they need to do well on constructed-response tests will better prepare students both to score well on state and national assessments and to take their place as thoughtful and organized thinkers in a rapidly changing, competitive society.

Constructing test items for standardized tests of achievement, ability, and aptitude is a task of enormous importance. The interpretability of a test's scores flows directly from the quality of its items and exercises. Concomitant with score interpretability is the notion that including only carefully crafted items on a test is the primary method by which the skilled test developer reduces unwanted error variance, or errors of measurement, and thereby increases a test score's reliability. The aim of this entire book is to increase the test constructor's awareness of this source of measurement error, and then to describe methods for identifying and minimizing it during item construction and later review. Persons involved in assessment are keenly aware of the increased attention given to alternative formats for test items in recent years. Yet, in many writers' zeal to be `curriculum-relevant' or `authentic' or `realistic', the items are often developed seemingly without conscious thought to the interpretations that may be garnered from them. This book argues that the format for such alternative items and exercises also requires rigor in their construction and even offers some solutions, as one chapter is devoted to these alternative formats. This book addresses major issues in constructing test items by focusing on four ideas. First, it describes the characteristics and functions of test items. A second feature of this book is the presentation of editorial guidelines for writing test items in all of the commonly used item formats, including constructed-response formats and performance tests. A third aspect of this book is the presentation of methods for determining the quality of test items. Finally, this book presents a compendium of important issues about test items, including procedures for ordering items in a test, ethical and legal concerns over using copyrighted test items, item scoring schemes, computer-generated items and more.

This book brings together psychometric, cognitive science, policy, and content domain perspectives on new approaches to educational assessment -- in particular, constructed response, performance testing, and portfolio assessment. These new assessment approaches -- a full range of alternatives to traditional multiple-choice tests -- are useful in all types of large-scale testing programs, including educational admissions, school accountability, and placement. This book's multi-disciplinary perspective identifies the potential advantages and pitfalls of these new assessment forms, as well as the critical research questions that must be addressed if these assessment methods are to benefit education.

AN EXPERIMENT WAS CONDUCTED TO DETERMINE THE EFFECTS OF FOUR RESPONSE MODE DIFFERENCES ON AUTO-INSTRUCTIONAL LEARNING(USING A CONTINUOUS DISCOURSE PROGRAM OF MODERATE DIFFICULTY. THESE MODES WERE: (1) OVERT RESPONSE (SUBJECT (S) WAS REQUIRED TO CONSTRUCT A WRITTEN RESPONSE); (2) COVERT RESPONSE (S WAS REQUIRED TO THINK OF A RESPONSE), (3) READING RESPONSE (S READ THE RESPONSE WHDERLINED); AND (4) OPTION RESPONSE MODE (S COULD EITHER CONSTRUCT A WRITTEN RESPONSE OR OMIT THE RESPONSE, DEPENDING ON HIS CONFIDENCE IN BEING CORRECT). SIGNIFICANT LEARNING TIME DIFFERENCES WERE FOUND AMONG THE FOUR RESPONSE MODE CONDITIONS. THE OVERT CONDITION HAD THE LONGEST LEARNING TIME, FOLLOWED BY THEOPTION MODE, COVERT MODE, AND READING MODE IN THAT ORDER. THE RESULTS OF THIS STUDY USING CONTINUOUS DISCOURSE MATERIAL ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH THE FINDINGS FROM THE PREVIOUS STUDY USING INDEPENDENT-ITEM FRAMES, LENDING GENERALLY TO THE HYPOTHESIS THAT REQUIRING WRITTEN CONSTRUCTED RESPONSES TO EASY ITEMS IS NOT AN ESSENTIAL CONDITION FOR EFFECTIVE LEARNING. THE RESULTS ARE DISCUSSED IN TERMS OF THE CONDITIONS WHICH CONTRIBUTE TO ACTIVE RESPONDING AND EFFICIENT LEARNING, WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON THE READING MODE OF RESPONDING TO PROGRAMMED MATERIAL.
