At the endof this session the
participants shall be able to:
• state the meaning of assessment
• explain the need for assessment
• discuss different types of innovative
assessment techniques.
3.
• Assessment
• Roleof assessment in learning
• Types of innovative assessment
techniques
4.
• Assessment isthe systematic gathering and
analyzing of information (excluding course
grades) to inform and improve student
learning or programs of student learning in
light of goal-oriented expectations
Purposes of Assessment
1.Diagnostic Assessment
Tells us what the student needs to learn.
Teachers identify the nature of a pupil’s learning
difficulties and use this information to plan
interventions to address the issues discovered.
7.
Formative Assessment (Assessmentfor Learning)
is part of the everyday teaching and learning
process to:
• tell us how well the student is doing as work
progresses.
Why is itimportant to assess?
• To find out what the students know(knowledge).
• To find out what the students can do, and how
well they can do it (skill; performance)
• To find out how students go about the task of
doing their work (process).
• To find out how students feel about their work
(motivation, effort).
10.
What are AssessmentTechniques?
Classroom Assessment
Techniques (CATs) are a set
of specific activities that
instructors can use to
quickly gauge students'
comprehension
11.
Types of AssessmentTechniques
• Effective questioning
• Teacher observation
• Classroom Tests
• Discussions
• Presentation
• Marking pupil works
12.
Exit Cards
Before studentsleave at the end of class, ask
them a question or pose a problem for them to
solve
13.
Peer Assessment
Students canassess another student’s piece of
writing and provide feedback about what they
observe.
14.
It involves studentsreflecting
about their own learning in
relation to unit goals or
outcomes. Checklists or open-
ended questions can be used
to assist students with their
reflections.
16.
• Student ComposedQuestions
• Use Quizzes
Give a short quiz at the end of class to check
for comprehension.
• Thumbs up/thumbs down
Concept Map
A conceptmap is a type of graphic organizer used to
help students organize and represent knowledge of a
subject. Concept maps begin with a main idea (or
concept) and then branch out to show how that main
idea can be broken down into specific topics
Journal Reflections
Students writetheir reflections on a lesson, such
as what they learned, what caused them
difficulty, strategies they found helpful, or other
lesson-related topics. Students can reflect on
and process lessons. By reading student
journals, teachers can identify class and
individual misconceptions and successes.

Knowledge Rating Scale
Self-Marking Quizzes
Create a number of quizzes that contain higher and
lower level questions. Allow students to take these
quizzes and use a key to mark the quizzes themselves.
Students are able to determine their level of
understanding regarding a particular topic or unit of
study
29.
Portfolio Assessment
is anassessment form that learners do together
with their teachers, and is an alternative to the
classic classroom test. A student portfolio is a
systematic collection of student work and related
material that depicts a student's activities,
accomplishments, and achievements in one or
more school subjects and shows growth over time.
30.
Aptitude vs AchievementTests
Aptitude Tests
Predict a student’s ability to
learn a skill or accomplish a
task.
Achievement Tests
Measure what the student
has learned or mastered.
31.
Personality Test
• Testsfor personality are designed to measure
characteristics of individual along a number of
dimensions and to assess feelings and
attitudes towards self, others, and a variety of
other activities, institutions, and situations.
• Most tests of personality are non-projective, or
self-report measures; such tests ask an
individual to respond to a series of questions
or statements.
Interpreting the Briggs-Myer
Extraversion:sociability, energized by
people, lonely when alone (75%)
Sensation: practical, trusts facts; learns
through experience; wants to deal
with what’s real
Thinking: prefers the objective, logical,
analytical
Judging: prefers closure, wants
deadlines, feels more comfortable
once a decision has been made.
Introversion: territorial, enjoys being
alone, private, drained by people
(25%)
Intuition:innovative, fantasizes; future
more attractive than the present
Feeling: prefers the subjective,
personal, values
Perceiving: resists closure, wants
more & more data; values the
open-ended; pressure to decide
stressful
Projective Tools OfAssessing
The Rorschach test consists of a series of ten inkblots
Psychologists ask subjects to look at the inkblots and describe
what they see……
The Rorschach inkblot Test
There are 31picture cards in the standard form of the TAT.
Some of the cards show male figures, some female, some both
male and female figures, some of ambiguous gender, some
adults, some children.One card is completely blank
TAT
38.
A personality testcan benefit your students by:
Increasing productivity
Help students realize their full potential
Identify teaching strategies for students
Help students to appreciate other
personality types
Teachers can administer a personality test in class to
help your children discover their strengths and
developmental needs.
Interest Inventories
• Aninterest inventory asks an individual to
indicate personal likes and dislikes, such as
the kinds of activities he or she performs to
engage in.
• The most widely used type of standardized
interest measure is the vocational interest
inventory.
Performance Standards
• Performancestandards are the criterion to which the
results of measurement are compared in order to
interpret them.
• Norm-Referenced Standards
• Any test, standardized or locally-developed, which
reports and interprets each score in terms of its
relative position with respect to other scores on the
same test, is norm-referenced.
• Norm-referenced tests do not indicate what a person
knows and can do, or does not know and cannot do.
Criterion-referenced standards
• Anytest which reports and interprets each
score in terms of absolute standard is
criterion-referenced.
• Interpretation of one person’s score has
nothing to with anybody else’s score; the
comparison is with the standard of
performance, not scores of other persons
48.
• A criterion-referencedtest (CRT) is “one that is
deliberately constructed to yield measurement that is
directly interpretable in terms of specified performance
standards”.
• According to this definition, CRT is used to compare a
person’s performance with a well-defined behavior
domain.
49.
Application of CRTs
•CRTs are probably most appropriate as locally-
developed measures since they are developed to
measure exactly what was taught.
• For certain instructional systems (e.g., mastery,
individualized) CRTs are the only appropriate
measurement devices since attention is focused
on what each student can or cannot do.
• The results of CRT also provide valuable input for
program revision.
