Construction Task

Abstract. The cube construction task represents a novel format in the assessment of spatial ability through mental cube rotation tasks. Instead of selecting the correct answer from several response options, respondents construct their own response in a computerized test environment, leading to a higher demand for spatial ability. In the present study with a sample of 146 German high-school students, we tested an approach to manipulate the item difficulties in order to create items with a greater difficulty range. Furthermore, we compared the cube task in a distractor-free and a distractor-based version while the item stems were held identical. The average item difficulty of the distractor-free format was significantly higher than in the distractor-based format ( M = 0.27 vs. M = 0.46) and the distractor-free format showed a broader range of item difficulties (.02 ≤  pi ≤ .95 vs. .37 ≤  pi ≤ .63). The analyses of the test results also showed that the distractor-free format had a significantly higher correlation with a broad intelligence test ( r = .57 vs. r = .17). Reasons for the higher convergent validity of the distractor-free format (prevention of response elimination strategies and the broader range of item difficulties) and further research possibilities are discussed.

Construction Task

This study investigated the relationship of approval motivation to verbal conditioning under vicarious reinforcement. Fifteen college students completed 20 operant trials in a sentence construction task. They then observed E reinforce a “programmed” confederate who emitted critical responses according to a typical acquisition curve. Fifteen control Ss observed identical confederate behavior with the reinforcements omitted. An additional 15 control Ss did not receive the observation phase. All Ss then were given 40 nonreinforced trials. A significant conditioning effect occurred only for Ss with high need for approval in the vicarious reinforcement condition. Results were related to previous verbal conditioning research.

Construction Task

This study aimed to investigate the assessment techniques used by a teacher in assessing students’ writing skills, the reason in implementing the techniques, and the students’ responses toward the implementation of the techniques. The collected data in this study included classroom observation that had been held in three times, interview, and written document. The following is the conclusions based on the data analysis. Since formative assessment of writing skill is the main focus of this study, the teacher implemented five writing performance tasks suggested by Brown (2010) namely dicto-comp, picture-cued task, short answer task, guided question and answer, and paragraph construction task. From the teaching process done by the teacher, the assessment tasks were implemented for formative purposes, that is, to monitor students’ progress in comprehending the lesson that is about narrative text. The teacher implemented some assessment tasks in an informal way to monitor students’ ongoing progress without recording the result of the performance, while the other tasks were implemented in a formal way to record students’ progress and to give them an appraisal of their progress and achievement.
