Creation of Items and Tasks Sample Clauses

Creation of Items and Tasks. Central to the development of items are the standards for which CDE wants to collect evidence of student understanding. For many standards, the selection of passages and stimuli is a key component to ensuring items and tasks are aligned to the standards. For example, the CCSS for English Language Arts places an emphasis on text complexity as the major differentiator of standards across the grades, and the CCSS for Math and the CA-NGSS emphasize the application and generalization of knowledge and skills in a variety of settings. Similarly, the creation of items involves more than the item content. Part of the ETS item development process includes the development of rationales (e.g., for incorrect answer options in selected response items) and scoring information and/or rubrics (for constructed response items). ETS will ensure that traditional items (such as selected response, technology-enabled items, and constructed response items) are created to measure accurately specific content and to provide meaningful information based on student responses. ETS also has processes in place for developing more innovative items and tasks such as those required to address CA-NGSS next-generation task development. An Agile Software Development approach will be used for the development of all technology-based performance tasks under this proposal, as used by ETS on NAEP science development for NCES performance tasks. Agile Development involves iterative stages of development with clear targets for the development goals and functionality at each stage of the development. Each stage is informed by data collection procedures and review commentary that improves the quality and usability of the final product, so that the critical investments that are needed for sophisticated and complex measurement tasks can be made appropriately at each stage shown below. Task Outline Agreement Review. For science performance tasks, the task concept involves an outline with key elements that will be incorporated into the tasks, including standard item development characteristics such as framework targets and overall formats but also performance-specific elements such as the inquiry question to be addressed, the independent and dependent variables to be included.
