  2. Outline Why choice? • Choice-Based Assessments vs. Knowledge-Based • Play Posterlet! • Research Results • Summary & Discussion 2 EWA: Bursting the Bubbles – Reassessing Assessments Seminar

  3. Beliefs Shape Assessments What we think is What we measure important • Traditional assessments Ø Focus on knowledge Ø Retrospective What have students mastered? 3 EWA: Bursting the Bubbles – Reassessing Assessments Seminar

  4. 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) 4 EWA: Bursting the Bubbles – Reassessing Assessments Seminar

  6. Why Choice? • 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 6

  10. It's nice that the poster says how much the booth costs. Some words on your poster are cut off. I can't read them.

  11. Research Study Design Thinking (Get feedback from stakeholders/clients.) • Population • 200+ 6 th graders • Local middle school • Treatment • Design thinking lessons Seek feedback from stakeholders • Interspersed over 4 weeks • Math, Social Studies, Science 11

  12. Seeking Negative Feedback… • Correlates with achievement • Most relevant for lower-achieving students CST: r = .41 ** • A teachable skill that kids will transfer to a new situation • Also leads to better learning!
