Instructional Modules in Educational Measurement and Statistics for School Personnel

“学校工作人员教育测量和统计教学模块”项目将制作成动态视频案例和DVD，用于更新学校管理人员、辅导员和教师关于测试、测量、成绩报告和解释的知识。这一新知识将使学校能够为课程和教学决策提供信息，改进课堂实践，并更好地回应学生个人的优势和需求。这些材料将帮助教师、管理人员和家长解释考试分数结果，并理解对理解这些结果至关重要的基本测量原则，从而帮助弥合评估素养方面的现有差距。将使用广泛的调查数据和文本分析来识别关于测试和测量概念的广泛存在的误解。试点和实地测试的目标是就新教材如何很好地向教师传达和翻译分数分布、个人和平均考试成绩以及对广泛使用的成绩报告的解释等核心概念获得反馈。这一独特和及时的项目将产生高质量的评估材料，这些材料将立即适用，并将引起广泛的兴趣。

The "Instructional Modules in Educational Measurement and Statistics for School Personnel" project will be produced in dynamic video cases and DVD for use in updating school administrators', counselors' and teachers' knowledge about tests, measurement, score reports and interpretation. This new knowledge will enable schools to inform curriculum and instructional decision-making, improve classroom practices and better respond to the strengths and needs of individual students. These materials will help bridge an existing gap in assessment literacy by helping teachers, administrators and parents to interpret test score results and to understand the underlying measurement principles essential to making meaning of these results. Extensive survey data and text analysis will be used to identify widely held misconceptions about testing and measurement concepts. Pilot and field-testing will be targeted to gain feedback on how well the new materials communicate and translate the core concepts of score distributions, individual and average test scores and interpretation of widely used score reports to teachers. This unique and timely project will produce high quality materials on assessment that will have immediate applicability and that will be of broad interest.
