Game-Based Assessment of Data and Analysis for Middle School Students

• In Event: 45.029 - Technologically Enhanced Items: New Approaches to Assessment Design

Abstract

This paper describes the convergence of an Evidence-Centered Design (ECD) approach for assessment development and a participatory design approach for the development of a formative game based-assessment. The game assesses middle-school students in relation to the Data and Analysis strand of the K-12 CS Framework. The paper provides a discussion of activities both from an assessment perspective and from a game design perspective and how these two processes can be integrated to make decisions about the design of the game.
