DEFINATION

InstructionIndicates the learning outcomes to be attained by students

Learning taskSpecifies the particular set of learning task(s) to be assessed

AssessmentProvide a procedure designed to measure a representative sample of the instructionally relevant learning task

Sequence in preparing instructionally relevant assesment

Assesment Process

AIMS

ACTION

ASSESSMENT

ADJUSTMENT

To find out: what student know (knowledge)

what the student can do and how well they can do it

how students go about the task of doing their work

how student feel about their work (motivation,effort)

Important of assesment

To help us design and modify programs to better promote learning and student success

To provide common definations and benchmarks for students abilities that will enable us to act more coherently and effectively to promote student learning.

To provide feedback ,guidance and mentoring to student so as to help them better plan and execute their educational program

What is Student Assesment for?

Diagnostic : tell us what the student need to learnm

Formative : tell us how well the student is doing as work progresses

Summative : tell us hw well the student did at the end of a unit/task

Function of assesment

Student learning characteristics- Ability differences- Learning style

Student motivational characteristics-interest-self-efficiency-goal orientation

Learning- Contents knowledge- Ability to apply content knowledge- skills

What can be assessed?

It should be reliable and valid It should benefits to all student It should be simple to operate and should

not costly It should be seen by student and society in

general

Criteria in choosing an assesment method

Teacher

Student

Student’s peer

Administor

Parents

Who involved in assesment ?

use it to improve the focus of our teaching

Use It to focus student attention of strenghts and weaknesses

Use it to improve progrmm planning (program assesment)

use it for reporting to parents

What should we do with the information from our assessment?

Classroom Assesment

Performance assesment

Portfolios

Rubric

Laboratory Performance

Types of assesment

Informal assesment :Teacher spontaneous , day to day observation of students performances

Example:Asking questionListening to student discussionConducting student conference

Classroom Assesment

Informal assessment

Strength-can be done during teachingEasy to individualize

Weakness-require high level of teaching skill-Is vulnerable to bias, inequilties and mistakes.

Formal assesmentAssesment that is planned in advance and used to assess a predetermined content and/or skill domain.

Strength:- Allows the teacher to evaluate all students sysmetically on the important skilla and concept- Help teacher determine how well students are progressing over entire year- Provides useful information to parents and administrators

Assessment that elicits and evaluates actual student performances

Type of performancei) Product : drawing,science

experimen,solution to authentic problem,term papers

ii) Behavior : time trial for running a mile , reciting a poem, dancing

Performance assesment

Strength:Effective for assessing higher level thinking and authentic learning.Effective for assessing skill and procedural learningInteresting and motivating for students

Weakness- Hard to score fairly- Difficult to construct

A collection of student samples representing or demonstrating student academic growth. It can include formative and summative assessment, it may contain written work,journals,maps, chart,survey

Portfolio are systematicc,purposeful and meaningful collection of students work in one or more subject areas

Portfolio

For students:Help student make choiceShows growth over timeDemonstrates how student thinkEncourage them to take responsibility for their workl.

For teachers:Provides a framework for organizing students workHighlights performance –based activities over yearFacilities student information for decision making

Importance of portfolio

For parentsOffer insight into what their children di in school

Gives the parent an opportunity to react to what their child is doing in school and their development

Shows parents how to make a portfolio so that they may do at home at the same time

Important of portfolio

For administors-provide evidence that teacher/school goals are being met

-shows growth of students and teacher

-provide data from various source

Three basic models :

Showcase model : consist of work samples chosen by the student

Descriptive model: consisting of representive work of the student, with no attempt at evaluation

Evaluative model , consisting of representative products that have been evaluate by criteria.

What do portfolios contain?

require more time for faculty to evaluate than test or simple-sample assesment

require students to compile their own work, usually outside of class.

Do not easily deminstrate lower-level thinking, such as recakk of knowledge.

May threaten student whi limit their learning to cramming for doing it at the last minute

Disadvantage of portfolio

It is a scoring guide that seeks to evaluate a student’s performance based on the sum of a full range of criteria rather tahan a single numerical score.

it is a working guide for students and teachers, usually handed out before the assignment begins in orer to get students to think about the criteria in which their work will be judged

Rubric

Free-response questions Oral or powerpoint presentations reflection./journal Article revies or reactions Essay

Rubrics are scoring criteria for

A fair assesment is one in which students are given equitable opporyunities to demonstrate what they know and can do

classroom assesment is not only for grading or ranking purpose, its goal is to inform instruction by providing teachers with information to help them make good educational decisions

Assesment is integrate with students day-to-day learning experience rather than a series of an end-of-course test.
