Syllabus of Evaluation of Mathematics Instruction (3 SKS)

Synopsis: Trough this course you will discuss about: definitions, aims, functions, and procedures of
evaluation in education, techniques and instruments of evaluation, Bloom and Cangelosi
taxonomies, validity and reliability of an instrument, designing and analyzing tests and
questionnaires, designing tests to measure students’ conceptual understanding and mathematical
abilities (reasoning, problem solving, communication, representation, and mathematical
connections), authentic assessment and it’s techniques
