- 在当前“不让任何孩子落伍”的时代,希望K-12的教师和管理人员对标准化测试结果有深刻的理解,使用它们来改进教学,并与他人进行交流。但是,许多教育工作者从来没有机会获得这些角色所需的“评估素养”。由加利福尼亚大学圣塔芭芭拉分校的丽贝卡·兹维克(Rebecca Zwick)指导的ITEMS项目的目标是,开发和评估教育测量和统计中的三个基于Web的教学模块,以解决这一培训空白。我们创造了 三个25分钟的单元: “比分是多少?”(2005年),“什么考试成绩能告诉我们什么? (2006),以及 “有什么不同?” (2007). Overall, 250 K-12 teachers 和 administrators participated in our research, which demonstrated the effectiveness of the modules in communicating 教育测量 和 统计 concepts, especially for teacher 教育 students. Our modules are now freely available on our website, http://items.education.ucsb.edu, in low- 和 high-bandwidth versions, with optional closed captioning. Also posted are supplementary materials, including glossaries, formulas, reference lists, 和 quizzes corresponding to each module. 的 provision of this 训练 in a convenient 和 economical way is intended to 如sist schools with the successful implementation 和 解释 of 评定s. Several school districts have let us know they are using the materials, 和 在 least one teacher 教育 program has incorporated them into its curriculum.
