Valuing Assessment in Teacher Education - Multiple-Choice Competency Testing
Martin, Dona L.; Itter, Diane
Australian Journal of Teacher Education, v39 n7 Article 1 Jul 2014
When our focus is on assessment educators should work to value the nature of assessment. This paper presents a new approach to multiple-choice competency testing in mathematics education. The instrument discussed here reflects student competence, encourages self-regulatory learning behaviours and links content with current curriculum documents and with collaborative and cooperative learning episodes.
