Abstract | Technical questions regarding the reliability and validity of large-scale portfolio assessment were studied which focused on: (1) whether raters can score collections of writing reliably with rubrics designed for single samples; (2) whether ratings derived from different frameworks differ in their capacities to support technically sound assessments of narrative collections; and (3) whether ratings of distinctive narrative assessments characterize groups similarly. The study used 5 raters' judgments of 52 collections of elementary school student writing and was primarily designed to illustrate analytic techniques for addressing each of these questions. Another objective was to evaluate the "Writing What You Read" narrative rubric. The study produced preliminary evidence that the holistic scale of "Writing What You Read" can be used reliably and meaningfully in large-scale assessment of narrative collections. Results support the importance of rubrics designed to capture the qualities of distinctive writing genres. Seven figures and 29 tables present study findings, and 2 appendixes present writing prompts. (Contains 12 references.) (SLD) |
