Vocational Education Curriculum Specialist (VECS). Module 9: Testing Instructional Objectives. Study Guide. (Teaching/Learning Module).
American Institutes for Research in the Behavioral Sciences, Palo Alto, CA.
One of 15 core modules in a 22-module series designed to train vocational education curriculum specialists (VECS), this guide is intended for use by both instructor and student in a variety of education environments, including independent study, team teaching, seminars, and workshops, as well as in more conventional classroom settings. The guide has five major sections. Part I, Organization and Administration, contains an overview and rationale, educational goals and performance objectives, recommended learning materials, and suggested reference materials. Part II, Content and Study Activities, contains the content outline arranged by goals. Study activities for each goal and its corresponding objectives follow each section of the content outline. Content focus is on the concept of criterion-referenced measurement within the framework of educational evaluation, selecting approaches/techniques for assessing student achievement of instructional objectives in the three domains of learning, and developing an evaluation plan and constructing test instruments for measuring student achievement of instructional objectives. Part III, Group and Classroom Activities, suggests classroom or group activities and discussions keyed to specific content in the outline and to specific materials in the list of references. Part IV, Student Self-Check, contains questions directly related to the goals and objectives of the module, which may be used as a pretest or posttest. Part V, Appendix, contains suggested responses to the study activities from part II and responses to the student self-checks. (HD)
