Creation Projects
Creation projects allow you to apply your knowledge about assessments and
evaluations to create your own assessments and evaluations for learning. For this
course, you will create an assessment tool and an evaluation tool based upon your
curriculum or educational research project from MAS 1543.
Assessment Project:
The assessment project consists of the creation of one assessment aligned with at least
one learning objective from your curriculum project. Utilizing one (or more) of your
learning objectives created in MAS 1542, you will hypothesize how you might teach
this objective and then create an assessment that would allow for the demonstration of
its proficiency by your learners. Be creative in this assignment. Think about how to
utilize an assessment to determine the proficiency of the learning objective. This
assessment may include an MCQ-based exam, an essay or short-answer worksheet or
exam, or it may include an oral presentation. Make clear what the learning
objective(s) being assessed are and write a 1-page single-spaced explanation of how
this assessment will demonstrate learning proficiency. Make sure that the assessment
follows the guidelines focused within this course for determining proficiency and
includes a clear grading scheme either through a correct-answer key or a grading
rubric or checklist.
Evaluation Project:
The evaluation project consists of the creation of an evaluation of your developing
curriculum or educational research project. Reflecting on the bigger picture, think
about how your project might be evaluated. This could consist of faculty and/or
program evaluations. Think about who might be involved in the evaluation and what
types of questions would lead to any necessary improvement in your curriculum or
educational research. Put together a 1-page explanation of the evaluation and how the
results would be utilized, along with an evaluation survey. This survey can be
focused one part of the curriculum/educational research that you suspect may be
difficult, or it could be utilized to evaluate the entire project.
