Mr. Hatch wants to assess what his students have learned in a recent unit on four-sided figures. He realizes that the unit included four figures—squares, rectangles, parallelograms, and trapezoids. He also knows that he wants students to do three things for each of these figures: (1 ) recognize examples, (2 ) calculate the perimeter, and (3 ) calculate the area. In essence, Mr. Hatch is:
A) Taking initial steps in constructing a table of specifications.
B) Maximizing the likelihood that his assessment instrument will have predictive validity.
C) Increasing the extent to which his assessment instrument is standardized.
D) Converting an informal assessment into a more formal one.
