2.4 Educational assessments: reasoning from evidence
What all educational assessments have in common is the desire to reason from particular things students say, do, or make, to inferences about what they know or can do more broadly
An assessment is a tool designed to observe students’ behavior and produce data that can be used to draw reasonable inferences about what students know
The process of collecting evidence to support the type of inferences one wants to draw is referred to as reasoning from evidence
