Answer: Construct validity
Construct validity evaluates whether an assessment actually measures the theoretical construct or trait it is designed to assess.
What does reliability mean in the context of educational assessment?
Answer: The consistency of assessment results across repeated administrations
Reliability refers to the degree to which an assessment produces stable, consistent results across different occasions or raters.
Which data type from assessments is most useful for identifying students who may need intervention?
Answer: Diagnostic assessment data showing specific skill deficits
Diagnostic assessment data pinpoints specific skills or knowledge gaps, directly informing targeted interventions for struggling students.
What is an exit ticket used for in classroom assessment?
Answer: A quick end-of-lesson check to gauge student understanding of the day's objective
Exit tickets are brief informal assessments completed at the end of class that help teachers determine whether students grasped the lesson's key concept.
