Book Description
This document describes the nature of the Third Assessment of Mathematics for the National Assessment of Educational Progress. Information about the first two assessments is provided to give background information and details on the framework for the third assessment. It is noted that objectives for the third assessment are based on the second, with revisions that reflect current content and trends in school mathematics. Information about the content domain is provided, with the six content categories discussed: numbers and numeration; variables and relationships; shape, size, and position; measurement; probability and statistics; and technology. Technology is measured by assessing the use of calculators and computer literacy. Five categories in the process domain are reviewed: knowledge, skill, understanding, application and problem solving, and attitudes towards mathematics. Questions to be answered within each of the process categories are listed. The first of two appendices lists advisory committee members and consultants. The second provides additional information on three assessment topics: attitudes, the calculator, and estimation skills. (MP)

Assessment of Authentic Performance in School Mathematics
Author: Richard A. LeshPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136489460
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 468
Book Description
This book is the result of a conference sponsored by the Educational Testing Service and the University of Wisconsin's National Center for Research in Mathematical Sciences Education. The purpose of the conference was to facilitate the work of a group of scholars whose interests included the assessment of higher-order understandings and processes in foundation-level (pre-high school) mathematics. Discussions focused on such issues as the purposes of assessment, guidelines for producing and scoring "real-life" assessment activities, and the meanings of such terms as "deeper and higher-order understanding," "cognitive objectives," and "authentic mathematical activities." Assessment was viewed as a critical component of complex, dynamic, and continually adapting educational systems. During the time that the chapters in this book were being written, sweeping changes in mathematics education were being initiated in response to powerful recent advances in technology, cognitive psychology, and mathematics, as well as to numerous public demands for educational reform. These changes have already resulted in significant reappraisals of what it means to understand mathematics, of the nature of mathematics teaching and learning, and of the real-life situations in which mathematics is useful. The challenge was to pursue assessment-related initiatives that are systematically valid, in the sense that they work to complement and enhance other improvements in the educational system rather than act as an impediment to badly needed curriculum reforms. To address these issues, most chapters in this book focus on clarifying and articulating the goals of assessment and instruction, and they stress the content of assessment above its mode of delivery. Computer- or portfolio-based assessments are interpreted as means to ends, not as ends in themselves. Assessment is conceived as an ongoing documentation process, seamless with instruction, whose quality hinges upon its ability to provide complete and appropriate information as needed to inform priorities in instructional decision making. This book tackles some of the most complicated issues related to assessment, and it offers fresh perspectives from leaders in the field--with the hope that the ultimate consumer in the instruction/assessment enterprise, the individual student, will reclaim his or her potential for self-directed mathematics learning.
National Assessment of Educational Progress 1969-1983

Pages : 250
Book Description
During its first 14 years of existence, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) was located at the Education Commission of the States (ECS). This annotated bibliography of 575 references lists all major publications by or about NAEP published between 1969 and 1983. References are in a classified arrangement, by specific or special assessment. Documents not dealing with a specific assessment are grouped by: Methodological Publications; Special Analyses; and General and Miscellaneous. Materials by NAEP are separated from materials about NAEP done by external organizations. Subject, Personal Author, and Preparing Institution indexes are provided. The compilation is based on materials (documents and journal articles) archived in the database of the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC), and therefore most documents cited can be obtained through the ERIC Document Reproduction Service (EDRS).
