Question 2
Which of the following statements about goal-attainment grading is most defensible?
A. Because students' effort plays such a pivotal role in a student's ultimate learning, all goal-attainment grading must include a provision for incorporating students' levels of effort.
B. Given its focus on students' mastery of curricular-targets, goal-attainment grading essentially precludes the possibility of teachers' measuring students' affective dispositions.
C. Because of the centrality of curricular aims in any goal-attainment conception of grading, the curricular targets being sought should be carefully described to students' parents and to students themselves at grading time.
D. If a teacher can collect defensible assessment evidence of a student's mastery of the teacher's designated curricular aims, then this evidence should be the only basis for goal-attainment grading.
