Evaluation Options: Using Graphic Organizers

If you plan to use graphic organizers as part of a test, you first need to identify concepts to be tested that lend themselves to the use of these tools. Then you need to select the specific type of graphic organizer that best fits the concept. To measure students' performance in completing a graphic organizer, you could use a criterion-referenced checklist. For example:

In graphically mapping the concept, the student-

1. identifed all key components of the concept
2. portrayed the relationships between components logically
3. etc.

Criteria for other important program elements you wish to assess in the test, such as neatness and spelling, could also be developed and added to the checklist.

Samples of and blank forms for these graphic organizers are below. The blank graphic organizers could be enlarged and copied for use with students.
