Chossing right assessment method
This document discusses choosing the right assessment method for measuring student competence and performance. It defines the key differences between assessment and evaluation. Assessment formally measures student competence, while evaluation makes a value judgment. The right assessment method depends on the competency, objective, and learning method. A good method will be valid, reliable, standardized, and have educational impact. Some common assessment tools mentioned include essays, short answers, multiple choice questions, long/short cases, OSCEs, mini-CEX, CBDs, simulations, and DOPS. Factors like required resources, reliability over time, and ability to measure different competencies are considered for each tool.
