Checklist Reading Assessment Strategies

DEFINITION

A checklist is a tool for identifying the presence or absence of conceptual knowledge, skills, or behaviours. Checklists are used for identifying whether key tasks in a procedure, process, or activity have been completed. The tasks may be a sequence of steps or include items to verify that the correct sequence was followed. You may need to observe the tasks being followed because, in general, you cannot judge what tasks the learner did from the end product. Remember that some attitudes may be indirectly observed. For example, safety attitudes can be observed by seeing if safety equipment is worn. A checklist may also be given to students to follow in completing a procedure (e.g., in a shop or lab). A checklist itemizes task descriptions in one column and provides a space beside each item in a second column to check off the completion of the task.
