As I continue to work through my action research project I had to decide how to analyze the data. Do I want to do a norm-referenced or criterion-referenced data collection? If you would like more information about what these two types of data collection strategies mean watch this video.
Do I want to compare students to each other or would it be more beneficial to set a standard that I want my students to reach? Which way will give me the most information that I can interpret so I know if the DPR strategy worked for my students? Let me know what you think.
While both options for evaluating students are viable, the criterion option allows for a fairer assessment. You'll be evaluating students on what they have mastered.

ReplyDeleteI would choose the criterion-referenced data
ReplyDeleteSince you want your students to reach a particular goal I would use the criterion referenced. In your particular study, you aren't comparing them to the norm. Good luck!
