Innovation in Mathematics Assessment

9360303 Cappo这个小型企业创新研究(SBIR)第一阶段项目旨在满足教育中发展创新评估技术的关键需求，这些技术支持新的教学策略的出现，反映关于学习过程的已知知识，并衡量更高水平的推理。技术评估办公室(OTA)和监督与课程开发协会以及国家改革运动的研究已经确定了各种评估的重要性。这些形式包括口头讨论、小组讨论、文件夹、自我评估、同伴评分、观察和基于表现的测试，以及标准的笔试和选择题。为了吸收这些新的想法，以便教师能够从使用传统的学生评估方法转向使用当前的替代评估方法，教师将需要不引人注目和适应性强的跟踪和记录设备。此外，还需要一套注重更高层次思维的评估任务和评分技术。移动学习公司建议测试设计评估任务和软件系统的可行性，其中可能包括新的笔式技术，以提高教育质量，满足OTA、监督与课程开发协会和国家改革运动确定的教育需求。认识到课程改革和评估改革必须齐头并进，移动学习寻求通过评估改革为实现课程改革做出重要贡献。***

9360303 Cappo This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project seeks to fulfill the critical need in education for the development of innovative assessment techniques that support the emergence of new teaching strategies, reflect what is known about the process of learning, and measure higher levels of reasoning. Studies by the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) and the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, as well as state reform movements, have identified the importance of a variety of assessments. These formats include oral discussion, group work, portfolios, self-assessment, peer grading, observation, and performance-based tests, as well as standard written and multiple choice tests. To incorporate these new ideas so that teachers can move from the use of traditional to current alternative assessment methods of students, teachers will require tracking and recording devices that are unobtrusive and adaptable. Also needed is a bank of assessment tasks and scoring techniques which focuses on higher levels of thinking. The firm Learning in Motion proposes to test the feasibility of designing assessment tasks and software systems, which may include new pen-based technology, to improve the quality of education and meet the educational needs identified by OTA, the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development and state reform movements. Recognizing that curriculum reform and assessment reform must go hand-in-hand, Learning in Motion seeks to make an important contribution to the realization of curriculum reform via assessment reform. ***
