AERA Online Paper Repository, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association (San Antonio, TX, Apr 27-May 1, 2017)
Research indicates that several factors variably influence teachers' approaches to classroom assessment. Building on previous assessment literacy research, this study empirically examines variability in teachers' approaches to classroom assessment across a set of dimensions including their conceptions of assessment purposes, processes, fairness, and measurement theory. Through a latent class analysis of survey data from 382 teachers, this study identifies four consistent profiles in teachers' approaches to classroom assessment: 44% of teachers were categorized into Profile 1: The Differentiator; 16% into Profile 2: The Communicator; 10% into Profile 3: The Measurer; and 30% into Profile 4: The Integrator. These profiles provide empirical support for differences in teachers' approaches to assessment, presenting a foundation for targeted assessment education and future research.
