Assessment Biases by Laurie S Seder https://padlet.com/lseder1/vwflxk942tsq Why should we spend time understanding biases in assessment? en-us 2018-10-01 16:03:28 UTC 2020-10-09 02:01:26 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f333.png kasandram https://padlet.com/lseder1/vwflxk942tsq/wish/454063391 To avoid setting up some students for failure and some for success. ]]> 2020-03-04 01:30:48 UTC https://padlet.com/lseder1/vwflxk942tsq/wish/454063391 Brooke, Tessa, Kimberley https://padlet.com/lseder1/vwflxk942tsq/wish/454064076 It is important to consider content, location and culture when writing assessment items. There can be truth in some biases.]]> 2020-03-04 01:32:29 UTC https://padlet.com/lseder1/vwflxk942tsq/wish/454064076 Damarie, Guadalupe carrillod1 https://padlet.com/lseder1/vwflxk942tsq/wish/454064079 To avoid focusing on a specific gender while writing assessment problems.]]> 2020-03-04 01:32:29 UTC https://padlet.com/lseder1/vwflxk942tsq/wish/454064079 Focusing on Bias helps us to realign with the standards. Teachers should not be biased because the students will pick up on how we feel like they should think instead of being independent learners. https://padlet.com/lseder1/vwflxk942tsq/wish/454064085 2020-03-04 01:32:30 UTC https://padlet.com/lseder1/vwflxk942tsq/wish/454064085 Isabel, Maria, and Dena: We need to be able to recognize and understand bias in order to avoid them when creating assessments and giving assessments. https://padlet.com/lseder1/vwflxk942tsq/wish/454064235 2020-03-04 01:32:58 UTC https://padlet.com/lseder1/vwflxk942tsq/wish/454064235 Oliver and Elizabeth https://padlet.com/lseder1/vwflxk942tsq/wish/454065317 It is good to take time understanding biases in assessments because we want to make sure we do not offend students based on gender, race ethnicity, religion or economic status through the assessments.  The assessments need to be fair for all students, giving each of them a fair chance regardless of what we think, or our bias.

My new post is similar but more in depth compared to my groups first response because I thought biases in assessments was only to offend students not to give students a disadvantage.  ]]> 2020-03-08 00:04:14 UTC https://padlet.com/lseder1/vwflxk942tsq/wish/456335889 Isabel Sulger https://padlet.com/lseder1/vwflxk942tsq/wish/456372369 We should spend time understanding biases in assessments to avoid creating assessments that offend or unfairly penalize students. Two procedures that can identify unfairness are a judgement approach (relies on the opinions of reliable bias test reviewers) and an empirical approach (relies on differentiating items for large numbers of students). My new post is similar to my previous group post. We stated that these biases needed to be understood in order to avoid creating and administering these assessments.]]> 2020-03-08 04:25:27 UTC https://padlet.com/lseder1/vwflxk942tsq/wish/456372369 Giselle, Maylee, Sandy https://padlet.com/lseder1/vwflxk942tsq/wish/815821025 When creating an assessment you want to avoid biases in order to make the assessment fair to everyone.
