Assessment For Learning• Linking instruction and assessment• Assessing before and throughout instruction• Collecting evidence used to adjust current and
future instruction• Encouraging students to become more aware of
their own learning (metacognition) and adjust their own learning tactics
• Changing the culture of the classroom from an emphasis on “right answers” to one of “ideas”

Transformative Assessment
Assessment that fundamentally transforms
teaching and learning.
Formative assessment works!

The Basketball Task
How many times do the white-shirted students pass the basketball?

Misconceptions Are Like the Big Gorilla in the Room

Key Point #1- How students view an object, phenomenon or event depends on their prior
knowledge and experiences

Key Finding from How People Learn
“Students come to the classroom with preconceptions about how the world works. If their initial understanding is not engaged, they may fail to grasp the new concepts and information that are taught, or they may learn them for purposes of a test but revert to their preconceptions outside the classroom”
How People Learn, Bransford, Brown & Cockling. pp 14-15

Student Data (50-100 students per set)

Common Explanations
• Opposite hemisphere- opposite moon (most common explanation).
• Depends on where you are on Earth- same longitude, same moon. Would be different on the other side of the Earth (often the right selected response, wrong explanation)
• What part of the moon you see depends on the angle (tilt of the earth). If you are tilted away, you see less (B, C, D responses).
• Doesn’t matter where you are- you see the same moon. (Correct response but seldom explain why)

Assessment for Thinking: Chicken Eggs
![Page 25: “TRANS”FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT 10 Key Points](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568148b2550346895db5c9cf/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Chicken Eggs
The students in Mrs. Bartoli’s class were studying how chickens develop from an egg. The students put a dozen freshly laid, fertilized chicken eggs in an incubator. They wondered what would happen to the weight of an egg as the chick inside develops. This is what the students thought:
![Page 26: “TRANS”FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT 10 Key Points](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568148b2550346895db5c9cf/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• Group A: We think an egg will get heavier. An egg weighs more just before hatching than when it was laid.
• Group B: We think an egg will get lighter. An
egg weighs less just before hatching than when it was laid.
• Group C: We think the weight of an egg stays
the same as the chick develops inside.

Thinking about:
• Food- what it is and what it is used for• Transformation of matter• Growth and development• Conservation of matter• Open versus closed systems• Permeability of materials• Gas exchange

PURPOSEFULLY use them to bridge students’ ideas with conceptual
understanding of science.

Ideas
Conceptual
Understanding
Use what students know and think to help them get to the other side
