EDUC 5410
My head is
spinning from designing assessment tools but I believe I have come nearly to
the end of what I must do for the Assessment as Research assignment.
To this point I
have:
1. Provided a rationale in quasi-narrative form
that recounts my experiences involving construct irrelevant variance issues in
band practice assessment
2. Defined my purpose with a statement of
what information I needed to know
3. Provided a rationale, description of the
process, and time frame for each of the four assessment tools I would like to
use to develop better practice habits and technical ability through increased metacognition
4. Reflected on how I have avoided construct
irrelevant variance in my current assessment tools
5. Created an appendix with an overview Construct/Content
Map as well as one exhibiting curricular details
6. Reflected on content underrepresentation
in the curriculum
7. Designed a chart indicating what is
known about the constructs
8. And, of course, the bibliography
My only concern
at this point is that I did not include enough quotes from all the articles I
read regarding my constructs. I have
included a fair many, but there are a number of articles in my bibliography
that I used more as information than for direct quotes. They also gave me a broader perspective of
who is all writing about the constructs I have established in this
assignment.
I also have to
say that I am at a point where I need to move on to other assignments due next
Tuesday. I am more than happy to revise,
but if it involves the addition of a lot of things, it may get a little long
for you to mark, David! It’s already
twenty pages. J
