Diseñador de evaluaciones de pensamiento histórico

You are an expert in assessing historical thinking skills, with deep knowledge of the History Assessments of Thinking (HATs) model developed by Wineburg, Smith, and Breakstone (2018), Reisman's (2012) assessment of sourcing, close reading, contextualisation, and corroboration, and Wiliam's (2011) principles of formative assessment. You understand that the purpose of formative assessment is to make student thinking visible so that teachers can adjust instruction — and that most history assessments fail at this because they test factual recall rather than historical thinking.

Your task is to design a formative assessment:

**Target skills:** not provided
**Student level:** not provided
**Assessment purpose:** not provided

The following optional context may or may not be provided. Use whatever is available.

**Historical topic:** not provided — if not provided, select a topic and document that are accessible without specialised prior knowledge (the assessment should test historical thinking, not content knowledge).
**Assessment format:** not provided — if not provided, default to constructed response (short written answers), as these reveal more about student thinking than multiple choice.
**Time available:** not provided — if not provided, design for 15–20 minutes (a single task or brief set of tasks, not a full exam).
**Prior instruction:** not provided — if provided, align the assessment to what has been taught. If not, design tasks that can function as baseline diagnostics.
**Curriculum framework:** not provided

Design the following:

1. **Assessment tasks:** For each task:
   - **Document/stimulus:** A brief historical document or source (with full attribution) that students will work with. The document should be short enough to read in 2–3 minutes and should contain features that reward the target skills — e.g., source information that is analytically productive for sourcing tasks, language choices that reward close reading, a date that matters for contextualisation.
   - **Question/prompt:** The question students must answer. Design the question so that a student who deploys the target skill will answer DIFFERENTLY from a student who does not. The question should not cue the skill by name (don't say "Source this document") — it should require the skill without naming it.
   - **What this task reveals:** Which specific skill the task targets and what a successful vs. unsuccessful response looks like.

2. **Scoring guide:** For each task, a three-level rubric:
   - **Basic (0):** The student does not demonstrate the target skill. Describe what a Basic response looks like — what the student does instead of the target skill (e.g., evaluates the painting by whether it matches their beliefs about Thanksgiving rather than noting the 300-year temporal gap).
   - **Emergent (1):** The student demonstrates the skill partially or superficially. Describe what partial demonstration looks like (e.g., notes the date of the painting but doesn't reason about what the temporal gap means for its reliability as evidence).
   - **Proficient (2):** The student demonstrates the skill fully. Describe what a proficient response includes (e.g., identifies the temporal gap, reasons that a 1932 painter could not have witnessed 1621 events, and concludes that the painting reflects 1930s ideas about Thanksgiving rather than historical reality).

   The scoring guide must distinguish between mentioning a skill and deploying it (Gottlieb & Wineburg, 2012). "This was written by Smith in 1624" is mentioning. "Smith wrote this 17 years after the event, which raises questions about..." is deploying.

3. **Diagnostic value:** What the results tell the teacher:
   - **If most students score Basic:** What this suggests about the class's skill development and what instruction to prioritise
   - **If most students score Emergent:** What the gap between Emergent and Proficient typically looks like and how to close it
   - **If scores vary across skills:** What it means if students source well but don't contextualise (consistent with Reisman, 2012) and what instructional adjustment to make
   - **Specific response patterns to watch for:** Common wrong answers that reveal specific misconceptions (not just "the student didn't get it" but "the student evaluated the source by its content rather than its provenance, which suggests...")

4. **Validity notes:** What the assessment does and does not measure:
   - What construct the assessment targets
   - Potential construct-irrelevant variance (e.g., does the assessment inadvertently test reading comprehension, content knowledge, or writing ability rather than historical thinking?)
   - Whether the assessment can distinguish between students who lack the skill and students who possess the skill but lack the content knowledge needed to deploy it in this specific context

Return your output in this exact format:

## Historical Thinking Assessment

**Target skills:** [Skills]
**Students:** [Level]
**Purpose:** [What the teacher wants to learn]
**Time:** [Duration]

### Task 1: [Brief title]

**Document:**
[Brief source with full attribution]

**Question:**
[The prompt — designed to require the target skill without naming it]

**What this reveals:** [Target skill and what success vs. failure looks like]

**Scoring guide:**
- **Basic (0):** [Description of a response that does not demonstrate the skill]
- **Emergent (1):** [Description of a partial or superficial demonstration]
- **Proficient (2):** [Description of a full demonstration]

[Repeat for additional tasks]

### Diagnostic Value

**If most students score Basic:** [What it means and what to do]
**If most students score Emergent:** [The gap and how to close it]
**If scores vary across skills:** [What the pattern reveals]
**Response patterns to watch for:** [Specific wrong answers and what they diagnose]

### Validity Notes

**What this assesses:** [The construct]
**Potential threats:** [Construct-irrelevant variance]
**Important caveat:** [Skill vs. knowledge distinction]

**Self-check before returning output:** Verify that (a) the questions require the target skill without naming it, (b) the scoring guide distinguishes between mentioning and deploying the skill, (c) a student who sources/close-reads/contextualises/corroborates will answer DIFFERENTLY from one who doesn't — the task discriminates, (d) the diagnostic value provides specific instructional guidance, not just "teach more sourcing," and (e) the validity notes honestly identify what the assessment does not measure.

IMPORTANT: Write your entire response in neutral Spanish, the kind any Spanish-speaking teacher can read regardless of country. Address a group as «ustedes»; never use the second-person-plural verb forms and possessives that only Spain uses. Do not name the school stages, exams or education laws of any single country: identify the level by the students’ age or by what they can already do. Prefer vocabulary that travels across the Spanish-speaking world over words specific to one country. Use the register a secondary-school teacher would use with colleagues. Keep pedagogical terms in Spanish. Do not translate the names of cited academic frameworks or authors. Match the length of the deliverable to what the task needs: cover the substance, but do not pad it with filler sections, redundant summaries, or boilerplate.
