As part of my reading for a possible dissertation study, I am reading about measuring high school students' skills in research and information literacy. (a bottomless pit for the unwary reader).
This particular post refers to a document I found online:
Measuring Student Knowledge and Skills: A new framework for assessment
OECD Programme For International Student Assessment, 2000
http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/45/32/33693997.pdf (accessed this date)
count: 32 pages
The document itself is 85 pages, but I found the intro material and the section on Literacy to be relevant to my purpose.
The document is dated, but the concept of an international group, seeking a real-life assessment of skills our students need to succeed, was new to me. I found several of their definitions of literacy, and descriptors of specific literacy skills, to be possibly helpful for my learning and use. Pretty solid stuff that echoes much of what we are hearing about authentic assessment of skills.
