Yes, there are strategies that can help maintain objectivity in math assessment testing. These include using standardized tests and scoring rubrics, providing clear and specific instructions for test administration, and training assessors to be aware of and avoid their own biases.
As technology continues to evolve, it is important to regularly review and update math assessment tests to ensure they are still measuring the intended skills and are free from bias. Additionally, utilizing multiple forms of assessment, such as performance tasks and projects, can help provide a more well-rounded and objective evaluation of students' understanding of math concepts.
