The Knowledge Journal has two parts in each unit. In the first part, you will respond to a reflection question. In the second part, you will watch a short video on different assessment strategies and answer questions about which type of assessment is being demonstrated.
Part 1
How would you explain the would you explain the statement “Reliability is a necessary but not sufficient condition for the validity of an assessment”?
Part 2
Watch the following Assessment Activity video (http://extmedia.kaplan.edu/gradEd/ED562/ED562_1401D/AssessmentActivity_Publish/Assessment_Activity.html), going through each scenario. Decide whether each scenario describes a formative, summative, diagnostic, authentic, or performance-based assessment. For this Journal, indicate what your responses were to the five scenarios. If you missed any of the questions, do you have any questions about why the scenario describes a particular type of assessment?
