Key to asses sment terms The SEPUP assessment system uses analysis questions (AQ) in the student book activities, short answer or brief constructed response (BCR) to prompts in the student book activities, and item bank test questions in the Teacher’s Guide (TG), most of which are selected-response (SR) type. The following key can be used to interpret how the program works for the following citation: IALS 75 Q1-2; AQ4 ET; IB E-2, 3, 5, 6-8

IALS 75 Q1-2, AQ4 ET; IB E-2, 3, 5, 6-8

For more information, consult the Teacher’s Guides

IB = Test item bank questions, this citation means questions 2, 3, 5, and 6-8 from IALS item bank E measure student performance

UC, AD, ET, etc. represent SEPUP Asse s sment Variabl es (UC = Understanding concepts; AD = analyzing data; ET = Using evidence and tradeoffs; DI = Designing and conducting investigations; GI = Group interactions; CM = Communication scientific information).
