The Systems S1/S2 Baseline Assessment (MidYIS): Developed Ability Computer adaptive or paper-based Any time Term 1 + catch ups Baseline Feedback after 2 hours (computer adaptive) / 2-3 weeks (paper) Predictions and Value Added to Scottish Qualifications
End S2 Curriculum-based Assessments (SOSCA): Based on Curriculum for Excellence Computer adaptive Four week assessment window mid April to mid May + catch ups Feedback early June Lower and upper school Value Added measures
Assessment for Excellence: Secondary S1/S2 Baseline Assessment (MidYIS) + End S2 Curriculum-based Assessments (SOSCA)
Can be used INDIVIDUALLY or better still COMBINED What pupils know VS what they can do High Ability or Hard Work? Low Ability or Underachievement?
The Systems - Computer Adaptive Assessment
Adaptive Assessment: • Questions adapt to pupil • Efficient • No time Wasting • Wider Ability Range • More Enjoyable • Green
The Systems - Computer Adaptive Assessment
Running the Computer Adaptive Assessments: 1. Send us a CSV file of your pupils’ details 2. Set up software - internet or intranet (LAN) 3. Run the assessments 4. Send us assessment results files (if doing LAN based version)
The Systems - Computer Adaptive Assessment
Adaptive for each pupil and delivered by computer: Required Specification
LAN
WEB
Windows PC network (2000, Reliable Internet Connection NT, XP, Vista) Flash Player 9 (or later) You Zip and upload Results files
Results files are transmitted automatically

Feedback Overview Prompt Feedback: • Assessment Feedback - Standardised Scores and Quartile Bands • Predictions & Chances Graphs for <Standard Grade / Int 2> • Value Added to: - S2 Curriculum-based Assessments - <Standard Grade / Int 2> •Attitudes to Science (End S2 Assessments)
Feedback • Feedback can be used at the pupil, class and cohort level. -to guide individuals -to monitor pupil progress -to monitor subject-wide and department level progress • For classroom teachers, Head teachers or SMT as a quality assurance tool • Data can be aggregated at other levels. We support & provide software tools to help schools to do this e.g. Paris software
Feedback: Scores
Feedback: Band Profile Graphs
Feedback: MidYIS S1 Baseline: IPRs • Strong in Vocabulary, Maths and Skills •Poor performance in Non Verbal •Significantly less able in Non Verbal
Feedback: S2 Curriculum-based IPRs • Average Reading •Generally better than average Maths •Above average Science •But what is this pupil’s underlying ability like? What is their starting point?
Feedback: MidYIS S1 IPRs • But what is this pupil’s underlying ability like? What is their starting point? • An overachiever in Maths and Science? • Perhaps Reading more in line with underlying ability?
Feedback: Standards Referencing Reading
Feedback: Standards Referencing Maths
Feedback: Standards Referencing Science
Predictions Feedback
â&#x20AC;˘How do these predictions compare to the predictions from the baseline assessment?
Predictions: Chances Graphs
Value Added: Scatter Charts
Identify: • over performance • under performance • keeping up
Value Added: Subject Performance
• From MidYIS/SOSCA to Standard Grade and others e.g. Intermediate 2 • From Pips/MidYIS to SOSCA
(as applicable)
Value Added: SPC Chart
