No. 211 | Assessing Expressive Learning
Charles M. Dorn, Stanley S. Madeja, and F. Robert Sabol
A practical guide for teacher-directed authentic assessment
in K-12 visual arts education, Assessing Expressive
Learning is the only book in the art education
field to propose and support a research-supported teacher-directed
authentic assessment model for evaluating K-12 studio
art, and to offer practical information on how to implement
the model. This practical text for developing visual
arts assessment for grades 1-12 is based on and supported
by the results of a year-long research effort involving
70 art teachers and 1,500 students in 12 school districts
in Florida, Indiana, and Illinois. The purpose of the
study was to demonstrate that creative artwork by K-12
students can be empirically assessed using quantitative
measures that are consistent with the philosophical
assumptions of authentic learning and with the means
and ends of art, and that these measures can reliably
assess student art growth. Use as a text for undergraduate
and graduate classes in assessment, and highly relevant
for college professors, researchers, and school district
personnel involved in the education and supervision
of art teachers, and researchers interested in performance
measurement.
