Innovation in Mathematics Assessment

小行星9360303 这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目旨在满足教育的关键需求，开发创新的评估技术，支持新的教学策略的出现，反映学习过程中已知的内容，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州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，小组工作，投资组合，自我评估，同行评分，观察和基于性能的测试，以及标准的书面和多项选择测试。 为了融入这些新的理念，使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。 还需要的是一个银行的评估任务和评分技术，侧重于更高层次的思考。 Learning in Motion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、监督和课程开发协会和州改革运动确定的教育需求。 认识到课程改革和评价改革必须齐头并进，动态学习力求通过评价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. ***
