LAI 554LEC - Measurement and Evaluation in Music

Study of mental measurement concepts as they apply to teacher-made tests in music and standardized music aptitude and music achievement test batteries. Test manuals are examined in detail, in conjunction with audition of specific batteries to provide for the proper utilization of the materials and specifically for teaching to individual student differences. Implications for assessment of National Coalition Core Arts Standards and State Learning Standards will be reviewed; a professional plan for assessing music learning for the programs they lead will be developed and will include performance observation, and portfolio assessment; materials useful for in-service workshops on aspects of music assessment within participant’s specialties will be created and pilot-tested.
