This video of the signer signing ASIA is a violation of which principle of assessment - practicality, reliability, validity, authenticity or backwash? |
This video violates the authenticity principle. The sign for ASIA as depicted in this video is incorrect. ASL signers tend to sign ASIA slightly lower and to the side, with the elbow bent. The video quality is also poor, with strange lights on the signer's hand. |
|
|
Please pick two assessment principles (with the correct justification) that were violated by this quiz. |
1) This violates the authenticity principle because sign language is not frozen (hence pictures do not accurately represent signs). Also, there should be a video of this sign, in context (not isolated, decontexualized). 2) This quiz is not as valid because the goal of ASL courses are to improve students' ASL proficiency, and this quiz only tests the students' ability to look at pictures of the sign and match them to the English translation. |

|
Which assessment principle does this question item violate? Here's a question item from UNIT 1 Quiz: Please list the five parameters of ASL and give an example of each. |
The question violates the validity principle because an ASL course should be teaching ASL, and only ASL. Testing students' knowledge of ASL linguistics does not belong in an ASL course - as the goal of an ASL course is to become proficient in the language. |

Please gauge the validity of this ASL test: |
Low validity |
|
|
Practicality |
refers to the logistical, down-to-earth, administrative issues involved in making, giving, and scoring an assessment instrument. |
|
|
Reliability |
is connected to consistency and dependability in the design of the test (clear instructions, uniform scoring) and contains items and tasks that are unambiguous. |
|
|
Validity |
refers to an assessment tool measuring exactly what it proposes to measure, focuses heavily on language performance and meeting course outcomes. |
|
|
Authenticity |
is present in a test when it contains language that is demonstrated as naturally as possibly, contextualized, meaningful, organized and reflects the real-world. |
|
|
Washback/Backwash |
has much to do with the effect of testing on teaching and learning which can be beneficial and/or harmful. |
