Math Mastery Assessment
SuccessMaker Math follows the basic philosophy of a probability-based assessment (the likelihood that the student will get the next question correct). If this likelihood is higher than a certain threshold value, then the student is judged to have Mastered the objective. When assessing mastery, the formula explicitly weighs the following factors:
-
Pattern of correct/incorrect answers giving the greatest weight to the most recent responses
-
Likelihood of a lucky guess
-
Difficulty of the exercise
-
Significance of the exercise (the degree of relatedness to a terminal objective)
