| Summary: | This paper will examine the current state, and future, of AES in secondary literacy education through a review of current research in the topic. An analysis of the history of assessment will seek to explain why AES systems have gained such popularity within high-stakes assessment, and how the use of AES in secondary education, high-stakes testing affects pedagogy. This paper will also look into reliability and validity issues that are presented when using AES as a form of scoring essays. Finally, this paper explores some ways that AES can be used effectively within the K-12 writing classroom, rather than solely in high stakes assessments. Ultimately, this paper will assert that AES is not the right tool for use in high-stakes assessments, but can be beneficial within the high school English classroom as a means of formative assessment. |
