Stages of Assessment:
KWL Charts:
K-what do the students already know?
W-what do the students need and want to know?
L-what did the students learn?
1-Pre-assessment:
It
is a measurement of the learning received during the class as part of
comparing what the student knew before in a pre-test and after the class
experience in a post test.
During "Pre-assessment stage",the teacher
thinks about the:
A-Essential curriculum standard(s) and indicator(s) upon
which the pre-assessment will be based.
B-The clear goals and purposes of assessment.
Pre-assessment benefits:
1-It helps to differentiate instruction.
2-It also helps the learning process by identifying the
misconceptions .
3-pinpointing a starting point for learning.
4-It is conducted at the beginning of a learning event.
5- It is not graded.
2-During assessment:
1-It is usually done to gauge where the learner is.
2-It is helpful to pinpoint if the learner is progressing
or having a misconception that needs to be cleared up .
3-It is either formative or summative.
4-It is graded or ungraded.
Post Assessment:
1-It is used to determine if the learner has met the
learning outcomes.
2-It is either formative or summative.
3-It is graded.
2-Student Self-Assessment
The term 'student self-assessment' is used as an
umbrella term which encompasses:
student self-assessment
student self-evaluation; and
student self-regulation or self-monitoring.
In other words, the focus is on the ability
of the students to:
understand both learning intentions and success criteria
use these criteria to judge what they have learnt and what they still need to learn
reflect on the learning process to ascertain how they learn best
act on feedback received from their teacher and their peers
set learning targets based on what they still need to learn
manage the organisation of their learning.
Student self-assessment involves students in
evaluating their own work and learning progress.
Self-assessment is a valuable learning tool as well
as part of an assessment process.
This process helps students stay involved and
motivated and encourages self-reflection and
responsibility for their learning.
You should set clear expectations for student
performance. As in
peer assessment, you need to
coach students on assessment criteria and
how to
apply them in grading their work. Give them practice
assessing
themselves. A valuable process on its own,
self-assessment may be paired with
peer
assessment.
Applying knowledge gained through peer assessment,
students’ self-assessment can be a potent next step
in actively
promoting their own learning and
achievement.
3-Assessment vs Testing
Assessment
and testing are often used
interchangeably. What’s the difference
between
assessment and testing? When developing
instruction, it’s
important to know what the difference
is between assessment and testing.
Assessment?
Assessment is the systematic process of documenting
and using
empirical data on the knowledge, skills,
attitudes and beliefs. By
taking the assessment,
teachers try to improve student learning. This is
a
short definition of assessment.
Testing?
Almost everybody has experienced testing during his
or her life.
Grammar tests, driving license test etc. A
test is used to examine
someone’s knowledge of
something to determine what that person knows or
has learned.
It measures the level of skill or knowledge that has
been
reached. An evaluative device or procedure in
which a sample of an
examinee’s behavior in a
specified domain is obtained and subsequently
evaluated and scored using a standardized process
So, what’s the difference?
Test and assessment are used interchangeably, but they
do mean
something different. A test is a “product” that
measures a particular
behavior or set of objectives.
Meanwhile assessment is seen as a
procedure instead
of a product.
Assessment is used during and after the
instruction has
taken place. After you’ve received the results of your
assessment, you can interpret the results and in case
needed alter the
instruction. Tests are done after the
instruction has taken place, it’s a
way to complete the
instruction and get the results. The results of the
tests
don’t have to be interpreted, unlike assessment.
Evaluation
Meaning:
Evaluation is a strategy used to collect information based
on
evidence to modify the system of learning. Evaluation
includes
repeated assessment.
It is done by the teacher, senior teacher and the
supervisor
at the end of the term or the whole year. It includes all
the
