Assessing Transfer of Learning: Instructionally Sensitive Assessments, Curriculum, and Instruction
Sat, April 14, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Pan Pacific, Floor: Lobby Level, Oceanview 1&2Session Submission Type: Structured Poster Session
Abstract
The instructional quality students receive and the effectiveness of educational reforms cannot be adequately monitored or evaluated unless instructionally sensitive assessments are used. Instructional sensitivity focuses on collecting evidence of students’ transfer of learning (TOL) at different distances from what students learned in the classroom. This proposed structured poster session includes a series of studies which examine instructionally sensitive assessment from different perspectives: curriculum, instruction and learning, and item characteristics. The session focuses on a partnership project between two universities and three school districts to study instructionally sensitive assessments developed for three elementary science units with 28 5th grade teachers. Lessons learned have implications for teachers, school and district administrators, curriculum developers, researchers, and program evaluators.
