MasteryView Assessments
MasteryConnect MasteryView assessments are available for purchase. MasteryView assessments are pre-built formative assessments that an institution can purchase directly from Instructure. MasteryView assessments are available for Math, Grades 3-8 and Algebra l, and English Language Arts, Grades 3-8 and English l and ll.
Note: To purchase MasteryView assessments, please contact your institution’s customer service manager.
These assessments use a scoring system called Diagnostic Classification Model (DCM) scoring, which differs from other MasteryConnect assessments.
Instead of being based on a cut score, MasteryView assessment scoring methodology bases a student’s mastery levels on which questions the student gets right instead of how many questions the student gets right.
MasteryView Assessments with DCM scoring provide more specificity and accuracy about a student’s mastery of the material than most teachers can get with their own classroom-created tests. These assessments lower the possibility that student scores could reflect random error instead of non-mastery. MasteryView assessments give teachers reliable data that shows students’ mastery of academic standards and does so with the fewest number of questions possible, saving teachers valuable time.
