Reflection 7 & 8

    My learning has been significantly accelerated over the course of this week, particularly on the 7th and 10th of October. First, we'll look at the measures, and then we'll move on to the more fundamental concepts. Find out why it's so vital for instructors to have a firm grip on statistics when they're working with students in the classroom. My education has taught me that score reports are a summary of the student's success on the official examination that they took. When a teacher opens it, a score will be displayed for that student's performance on how they handled each specific section of the exam. And be aware that the teacher will review the student's development with the student's parent or guardian at some point throughout the school year at meetings that are referred to as "parent-teacher conferences." The conferences are held at various times throughout the academic year. In addition, how well they did on any state or other kind of examinations that were given to them should be considered.

     In addition to this, I now understand the distinction between criterion-referenced tests and norm-referenced tests. Beginning with tests that are norm-referenced, the results of the tests are compared to the results of a group of people who are comparable to the testers, and the testers are ranked in relation to one another. The difference between the two is the criterion is the outcomes of the tests are compared to a predetermined standard or criteria. Testers are ranked in relation to the body of knowledge tested.

    Moving on to the third skill I learned, I learned how to utilize Excel to create graphical representations of scores on Monday. I realized that the reason it was so difficult for me was that I didn't know any shortcuts for the scores to put in the mean, median, or medium. So, with some assistance, I was finally able to gain confidence in using Excel. I also learned that teachers utilize Excel to see how the class did in order to see the average and what the teacher may need to go over again.
