Stealth Assessment
Shute, Valerie; Lu, Xi; Rahimi, Seyedahmad
Grantee Submission
Stealth assessment is intended to not only measure important competencies, but also to support their development during gameplay or within other types of immersive learning environments. It uses evidence-centered assessment design to create the models (Mislevy, Steinberg, and Almond 2003), in conjunction with a statistical scoring and accumulation approach and educational data mining techniques to capture and analyze real-time data and dynamically measure students' learning. This chapter describes the background and benefits of stealth assessment, reviews a growing body of empirical studies that support stealth assessment in different digital games, and describes how stealth assessment can be embedded in a game via a ten-step iterative process. Finally, the chapter discusses some of the hurdles and obstacles to overcome and current efforts on developing various types of learning supports to accompany stealth assessment in a game.
