Changing Assessments

“[A] gardener… would proceed incorrectly if he considered only the ripe fruit in the orchard and did not know …to evaluate the condition of the trees that had not yet produced mature fruit…” Vygotsky (1934)

Why Choice?

6

  • The endpoint of education should not be

simply accumulation of knowledge

  • Students must be prepared for future

learning*

Ø Learning is a life-long process Ø Do students make good choices about what, when, where, & how to learn

  • We should measure choices, not knowledge

* Schwartz & Bransford, 1989; Schwartz & Arena, 2013

Research Study

  • Population
  • 200+ 6th graders
  • Local middle school
  • Treatment
  • Design thinking lessons

Seek feedback from stakeholders

  • Interspersed over 4 weeks
  • Math, Social Studies, Science

11

Design Thinking

(Get feedback from stakeholders/clients.)

slide-12
SLIDE 12

Seeking Negative Feedback…

  • Correlates with

achievement

  • Most relevant for

lower-achieving students

  • A teachable skill

that kids will transfer to a new situation

  • Also leads to

better learning!

A thought experiment about where usual tests might lead to misdiagnosis.

Test of Excel 6-months later Test Score Bob Mike

  • Two candidates applying

for a job:

  • Bob took a 5-week

course in Excel spreadsheet sofuware.

  • Mike does not know

Excel, but he taught himself 2 other spreadsheet programs.

  • The company uses Excel
  • Bob & Mike take an Excel

test.

Aptitude tests only predict about 9% of the variance of job performance immediately after training. It drops to 4% in 6 months.
