Are you looking for a robust, ready to use summative assessment to test your students understanding of data representation?
Computers science teachers have been left in a wilderness, without a rigorous, fair and consistent way to test your student’s knowledge in key stage 3 … UNTIL NOW!
WHAT IS TESTED?
This written test has been carefully mapped to the UK’s Computing At Schools (CAS) Progression Pathways. It includes a mixture of multiple-choice, short answer and long answer questions.
This assessment covers the following CAS Progression Pathway descriptions:
Performs more complex searches for information e.g. using Boolean and relational operators.
Analyses and evaluates data and information and recognises that poor quality data leads to unreliable results, and inaccurate conclusions.
Knows that digital computers use binary to represent all data.
Understands how bit patterns represent numbers and images.
Knows that computers transfer data in binary.
Understands the relationship between binary and file size (uncompressed)
Defines data types: real numbers and Boolean.
Queries data on one table using a typical query language.
Understands how numbers, images, sounds and character sets use the same bit patterns.
Performs simple operations using bit patterns e.g. binary addition.
Understands the relationship between resolution and colour depth, including the effect on file size.
Distinguishes between data used in a simple program (a variable) and the storage structure for that data.
.
The test lasts 50 minutes.
WHO IS THIS ASSESSMENT FOR?
This test is paper 1 and has been written for year 7.
HOW DO I USE THE ASSESSMENT?
This assessment is super easy to use. Simply print out the question paper and give to your students. It is better to run this assessment in class rather than as a homework task to ensure reliability.
Students complete the test on paper.
HOW IS THE ASSESSMENT MARKED?
You mark the papers yourself but don’t worry, you get an easy to follow mark scheme and can even watch the helpful video which shows you exactly how to mark it.
HOW IS THE ASSESSMENT GRADED?
Included in the resource is an Excel spreadsheet. Once you enter the marks onto the spreadsheet, it will automatically show you the total marks, the grade (A* to U) and if they have met expectations, are above expectations or are below expectations to help you with report writing. You also get a summary showing you how well the CAS Progression Pathways have been answered by your students to help you with future planning.
