A Competence Model to Assess and Develop Designing Competence Assessment Tool
2021
Studies showed that competency-based assessment improvement had generated a much greater impact on students’ achievements on standardized tests than other forms of educational activities. However, studies also indicated a number of challenges for teachers when designing competence assessment tools (CAT), especially in building assessment tasks that replicate real-life practice. There have been many different models for teachers’ assessment competencies, but the competency of designing competence assessment tools (CDCAT) was not paid much attention. In hope to develop a competency model that would serve as a supporting role in developing the CDCAT for pre-service teachers and teachers, this study used a multi-step development process to construct a teachable model that reflectived the complexity of designing assessment tools. The model consisted of 12 behavioural indicators spreading across four dimensions informed by the existing literature and empirical findings in particular contexts. To guarantee the content value of the proposed model, the research twice used the expert method by two panels. The reliability of the model was tested by analyzing the data collected from the survey with students. Interesting findings were met, and the outlined CDCAT model assisted pre-service teachers in solving issues related to their assessment competence. The model was intended for educational researchers, educators, teachers, and policy makers to support teachers’ assessment competence concerning the current accountability model across educational systems. Specific implications for developing pre-service teachers' CDCAT were discussed, followed by suggestions for future studies. https://doi.org/10.26803/ijlter.20.2.5
