This paper investigates the collaborative development of culturally responsive assessments (CRAs) and its integration with a culturally responsive curriculum. This study adopted a mixed-method design by using a qualitative approach to inform the development of research instruments and to explain the quantitative results of the quasi-experimental study. The participants were fourth to sixth graders from two adjacent indigenous schools, with one school as the experimental group and the other as the comparison group. Our findings showed the following: 1) Key stakeholders adopted and followed the CRA strategies proposed by Frierson, Hood, and Hughes (2002) to develop CRAs for their unit on natural disasters. 2) CRA strategies could be integrated with the developmental stages of a culturally responsive curriculum to ensure consistency between assessment and curriculum. 3) The intervention of the unit exerted significant effects on students’ learning outcomes. This study provides empirical evidence to add to the as-yet limited research on CRAs. It also provides strategies for the development of CRAs and for the integration between CRAs and the curriculums for teachers and teacher educators. |
