At the heart of CTT is the notion that error is endemic to measurement.
-
By the beginning of the 20th century, the concept of (p. 462) measurement error was well recognized, and psychometricians focused their efforts on estimating and accounting for error.
-
In CTT, an observed measure or score (X) consists of two constituent parts—the true score (T) and measurement error (E):
-
. Measurement error, however, also will account for a certain portion of score variance.
-
According to CTT, measurement error arises because mental processes are idiosyncratic and in a state of change such that individuals are incapable of performing optimally on a single test or performance task.
-
random error and systematic error.
-
(SEM) represents the average of the total random error for all individuals
-
SEM represents the spread of observed scores for a single individual if that person were tested multiple times.
-
That score, however, is an imperfect measure of the student’s true ability.

For example, CTT provides in-depth analysis of item characteristics,

Dropbox - Simplify your life - 95 views

Use dropbox to keep track of files you need at home, work, and anywhere else you might be. It provides you the ability to access your files from any location, allow others to "drop" files into your dropbox, and to share any files you have placed in there. You can use it for student work or just as a personal productivity tool. -
It has to be downloaded on your computer so if you want to use this at school you will need your tech coordinator's permission.
-
-
Dropbox synchs with your smart phone like an iphone, and it also synchs with tablets like the ipad. This way I can carry my files no matter where I am. -

I am not sure, but the idea of bringing referals to increase storage are awesome. -

This is an amazing solution for storing, sharing, and back up your data. The ability to access files from any computer & mobile devices makes this a great solution. Up to 2GB storage free! Learn more about the public folder to share files with others, while keeping your other files private. I have it on both my Apple computers and on two PCs. This rocks! - ...2 more comments...

@Jonathon, thanks for sharing the blog post. I'll pass that along to others. @Cathy, thanks for confirming it's been a useful tool.

Contemplating the consequences of Constructivism - The Learner's Way - 21 views
-
learning is a process which occurs within the mind of the individual as they process stimuli arriving from their sensory buffer from their environment (broadly speaking), into working memory and onward into long-term memory.
-
The emphasis does not have to be on the individual, as is common. The social group learns by means of individual, but joined and synchronized, learning.

independent practice
-
-
the research on what produces effective learning supports this
-
-
This desire is evident when we expect our learners to be scientists, historians, geographers, researchers and problem solvers/finders.
-
-
We teach the skills of inquiry, problem solving and experimentation and then provide opportunities for independent practice.
-
Can you imagine anything a better explanation of "knowledge transfer"?
-
-
we have previously instructed them in
-
-
The gradual release of responsibility model of instruction suggests that cognitive work should shift slowly and intentionally from teacher modeling, to joint responsibility between teachers and students, to independent practice and application by the learner
-
Does not sounds like the classroom is empty? Classmates? Who cares about them?
-
-
It is not always the case that learning is best served when the process begins with direct instruction.
-
Schools provide a rich environment within which such learning may occur
-
It is not always the case, and I would rather say that is not often the case, if our cultural legacy that depicts the school in literature and films.
-
-
best model can be to begin with an independent exploration of new content even when this produces failure
-
schools maximise their impact on the learning that occurs
-
-
constructivism urges teachers to ensure that the learner is at least as involved in the process as their teachers are
-
-
Constructivism is one of those ideas we throw around in educational circles without stopping to think about what we mean by it. They are the terms that have multiple meanings, are at once highly technical and common usage and are likely to cause debate and disagreements. Constructivism in particular carries a quantity of baggage with it. It is a term that is appropriated by supporters of educational approaches that are in stark contrast to the opposing view; constructivism vs didactic methods or direct instruction. The question is what are the origins of constructivism and does a belief in this as an approach to understanding learning necessitate an abandonment of direct instruction or is this a false dichotomy?

He invited students to a weekly entrepreneurship class for which they rode their bikes uptown from Dunbar to the gym where Clark works, Sweat DC. The students met with the owner of the gym and the owners of a nearby bar, Hook Hall, and the bagel shop Call Your Mother Deli to learn what it takes to run a business.

In fifth grade, students are expected to learn how to add, subtract, multiply and divide with whole numbers, decimals and fractions. Through a computer application the students have, they can program the robot to move a certain distance, stop, maybe even turn.

With learning all-virtual, he packs a big Ziploc bag — for each student, each quarter — with things like fishing line, foam board, pipecleaners, magnets, Popsicle sticks and rubber bands. Whatever they will need for their projects.

And a lot of the math is a little sneaky. They think they are trying to get the robot to move, when they are actually measuring the angles to get it to move.”

Others complete their math problems directly on the computer, which can lead to some troubles as they try to show their work.
