      Four classroom assessment techniques were used in a graduate-level course in tests and measurements as an initial exploration of the relationships between classroom climate and classroom assessment. The subjects in this action research study were forty-three students in two class sections. The content of the course was divided into four areas (1) legal and ethical issues of assessment; (2) using statistics to describe assessment data; (3) reliability and validity; and (4) types and uses of standardized tests. Classroom instruction included lecture/media presentations followed by content-reinforcing group act ivies. The criterion-referenced grades for the course were based on mastery of core concepts assessed by (1) individual multiple-choice tests; (2) collaborative group multiple-choice tests; (3) take-home open-response tests; and (4) take-home multiple-choice tests. At the end of the course, the students rated the four assessment events and provided written evaluations. Twenty-nine (67.4%) of the students preferred the group multiple- choice format; eleven (25.6%) preferred the take-home, open-response test; two (4.6%) preferred the standard-format, individual multiple-choice test, and one student (2.4%) preferred the take- home multiple-choice test. Student ratings of fairness of assessment in the course were 4.9 and 4.7 for the two classes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
