Example POST Data

This section provides examples of data sent from the API client to an API host.

Example Assessment POST

The Assessment entity represents a tool, instrument, process, or exhibition composed of a systematic sampling for measuring a student's competence, knowledge, skills, or behavior. An assessment can be used to measure differences in individuals or groups and changes in performance from one occasion to the next. Below is an example showing assessment data for a third-grade reading level assessment from the 2012-2013 academic year

Details:

Note that, on line 8, the assessment was revised as recently as 2020, although it was created for the 2012-2013 academic year. 

  • Note the academicSubjectDescriptor element on line 14. The Academic Subject Descriptor is one of the descriptors in this standard that must adhere to the default Ed-Fi values. Accordingly, the value is one of the Ed-Fi descriptor values, and illustrates the typical pattern for Ed-Fi descriptors.
  • Contrast this with assessmentTitle performanceLevelDescriptor element on line 436 (and others). This element also requires the client system use a specific set of values, but this value set is typically maintained by the host system (in this example, the fictional Grand Bend ISD). Although the test is a reading comprehension exam, its language code is still enumerated on line 31 – assessment language coding is independent of the type of test it is and instead refers to the language in which it is administered to students.

Example Objective Assessment

Item

POST

The Objective Assessment Item entity represents one of many single measures that make up an assessmentsubtests that assess specific learning objectives.

Details:

  • Note that assessment items are intrinsically tied to assessment entities and are not independent. They refer to their parent assessment entities and can refer to other Item or Objective POST entities. 
  • Assessment Item POSTs are optional and are not a required element. Instead, they can be added to supplement mapping for LearningStandards entities.

Example Objective Assessment POST

The Objective Assessment entity represents subtests that assess specific learning objectives.

Details:

  • Like assessmentItems, objectiveAssessment entities are subsets of assessments and are not standalone, instead referring to their parent entities and related Objective and Item entities. Similarly, they are an optional element to include if necessary. 
  • However, objectiveAssessment entities are broader in scope than assessmentItems, in that they can include large sections (which may include multiple Items) of an Assessment that deal with a specific learning objectiveObjective Assessment entities require a reference to the Assessment entity to which the objective assessment belongs. The identifier may be a unique number or, as in line 3 of this example, a unique alphanumeric code. 
  • Objective Assessment entities often contain references to Assessment Item entities that test the learning objectives represented by the entity (i.e., the individual test items making up the subtest). In this example, a collection of references to Assessment Item entities begins on line 10.
  • Objective Assessment entities may contain references to learning standards evaluated by the subtest. In line 27 of this example, a collection containing one learning standard is referenced. Worth noting is that Assessment Items may also reference learning standards. This means that that standard allows for an Objective Assessment to infer its associated Learning Standards from the collection of referenced Assessment Item entities. But, if a learning standard is present on the Objective Assessment, it should be understood as the relevant value such as when the Objective Assessment learning standard is a higher-level, general expression of more specific standards on the Assessment Items

Example Assessment Item POST

The Assessment Item entity represents one of many single measures that make up an assessment (i.e., the individual items on a test, quiz, or other type of assessment instrument).

Details:

  • Note that Assessment Item entities require a reference to the Assessment entity to which the objective assessment belongs. The identifier may be a unique number or, as in line 3 of this example, a unique alphanumeric code.
