Simulated Assessment Critique This is my critique for my simulated assessment for clinical skills. My clinical skills procedure was assisting with feeding, a skill that is essential in ensuring that patients are getting the right amount of nutrients needed to recover. The Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) (BAPEN 2003) is used in clinical areas to assess the nutrition needs of each individual, by using their body mass index (BMI: weight divided by height squared), whether they have lost any unplanned weight in the last six months and whether or not they have an acute disease which could cause loss of appetite the MUST score determines how at risk they are of malnutrition. If a patient has a high score using MUST then they should be…
Jesus Gutierrez 10/10/15 Humn 240 Professor Brown Benedictine University Chap 24 summary There was a big transformation in Europe between 1500 and 1800. It went from being a sub region to becoming a powerful force. There were also a lot of changes that occurred internally and also these changes empowered the western nations of Europe to presume preeminence. This transformation occurred together and in many levels…
Project Strategy and Planning When planning for the Alliance Prototype Project, we took a very structured approach. Group members were assigned formal roles, which were then used to delegate portions of the planning document. Each section of the planning document was completed individually, but was revised at a follow up meeting where the group discussed their rationale behind each of their decisions. When formulating the scope statement, our Quality Manager focused on key deliverables and defined constraints, synthesizing the available information into one cohesive statement. Our Risk Manager brainstormed a list of all possible risks when executing the simulation, assigned probability and cost impacts to each, and then decided whether to accept…

Standardized “... tests have tended to lean heavily on easily scorable multiple-choice questions that stress memory rather than understanding” (Jehlen, 1). So, when a child or teen takes these tests it does not matter if they understand what they’re doing, just as long as they got the right answer. This is completely unacceptable, they need to be tested over their understanding of a…
Accessing the General Education Curriculum Assessment Questions 1. What are some important steps in interpreting data from high stakes assessments? There are several important steps involved when considering facts pertaining to high stakes evaluations. To begin with we must try to find both the anticipated and unanticipated outcomes. Also, errors made by substantial numbers of learners must to be analyzed.…
Standardized Test Introduction Standardized testing is given in mostly all universities and establishments. These tests are intended to be controlled and documented in a dependable manner. Standardized testing are the same in all instutions. Everyone who takes the test is obligated to find a solution to the same set of questions.…
Was the no “child left behind act” of 2002 a lawful decision of congress? Namely this act required that schools administer yearly math and language test to students in grades one through twelve (NewYorkTimes). These tests are used to observe students intelligence. Furthermore they can help the government establish the correct amount of funding a school receives. Standardized tests have a negative impact on society.…
Admissions counselors admit the exceptional students because we think he/she will be successful. However, we often under look the students who are unable to show their academic readiness through standardized testing. For this reason, I strongly believe that each applicant should be evaluated solely by his/her experiences. Applicants’ experience should reflect their interest in the subject of their desired honors program. The exceptional student may have taken AP classes whereas the latter volunteered at a pet clinic; gaining knowledge of anatomy and physiology despite the class not offered at his/her school.…
The student may have simply memorized the fact or formula or trick necessary to do well on the test.” This is a huge issue nowadays because it doesn’t show the abilities and uniqueness of how each student could perform. Standardized tests create systems that compare students with one another by mere numbers and scores on a…
For example will assessment be initial/pre course, formative, summative or based on recognised prior learning. The assessor will need to decide the methods or activities to be used for assessment such as observations, performance evidence, discussion or witness/learner statement. How knowledge and understanding is going to be assessed also needs careful thought and could include tests, multiple choice questions, written assignment/task, a reflective journal, verbal questioning or naturally occurring evidence, all of which need to be fit for purpose and relate to the learner’s specific needs. Further considerations for assessment planning are to determine who will be assessing the learning/learner and how progress will be monitored and reviewed following feedback. 3.2 Evaluate the benefits of using a holistic approach to…
Standardized tests are not an accurate measure of a student’s academic abilities. Testing can have many different factors that occur, making it quite inaccurate. Education is a fragile matter that must not be taken lightly. Extensive thought should go into making a child’s education as stress free and effective as possible. High-stake and standardized test need to be used with caution and care in the school system because of the many things they do that eventually lead to the harm of student learning.…
Research paper ROUGH draft Intelligence testing in schools has been a topic of high debate in our society. Since its introduction in France when French psychologist Alfred Binet “designed a formal test of intelligence that would help identify children who were unable to learn as quickly or as well as others” (Psychology book) to the First World War leading up to present day its adoption into schools has been marked by unfairness, unreliability, and invalidity. But, efforts have been made to fairly standardize tests such that issues of cultural bias for example are eliminated. So, intelligence testing continues to be an arguable measurement that “has spawned a variety of aptitude and achievement tests that shape the educational choices of millions…
Bigg's principle of constructive alignment (Biggs and Tang, 2011), where the content delivery and activities are matched to the assessment and (in this case module) ILOs is also embedded in the UK Quality Code for Higher Education (QCHE, 2015), which determines the standards HEIs must meet and stipulates that HEI must provide students with appropriate opportunities to demonstrate the fulfilment of ILOs for credit or qualification awarded. The QC for HE Chapter B6: Assessment of achievement of learning outcomes (QCHE, 2015) also states that "Higher education providers operate equitable, valid and reliable processes of assessment, including for the recognition of prior learning, which enable every student to demonstrate the extent to which they…
Performance tasks still have some limitations that influence the validity of the measurement such as misinterpretation by researcher, insensitivity to typical behavior, task impurity, artificial situations, practice effects, extraneous situational influences, and random error (Duckworth, Yeager 239). The validity of the measure incident to itself but rather is related to the academic use. Currently, the limitation of non-cognitive measures may produce negative results and imprudent effect for accountability. Performance tasks and questionnaires are lack of trustworthy quality to use for academic purposes. Furthermore, performance tasks and questionnaires still may be helpful for the development of the potential of non-cognitive measures due to some of their…
