39.055 - Technology, Instruction, Cognition and Learning SIG Business Meeting: Reception and Keynote by Russell Almond

Session Type: Business Meeting

Abstract

If researchers are addressing learning in novel fields (as many TICL researchers do), then they need custom assessments to evaluate the effectiveness of their techniques.
Evidence-centered assessment design (ECD) provides a framework for answering these questions. Thinking about what observations in student work provide evidence of changes in cognition, and then how to structure tasks to elicit that evidence is an approach that leads to better and more valid assessments, especially assessments focused on cognitive models. This talk will provide an introduction to ECD and will illustrate the its flexibility with some examples.
