DEFINITIONS. 1. Assessment is the process of collecting and interpreting evidence to make judgements about a learners’ performance (Harlen, 2007). 2. Assessment is the systematic basis for making inferences about the learning and development of students. It is the process of defining, selecting, designing, collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and using information to increase students' learning and development. (Assessing Student Learning and Development: A Guide to the Principles, Goals, and Methods of Determining College Outcomes by Erwin 1991). 3. Assessment is the systematic collection, review, and use of information about educational programs undertaken for the purpose of improving student learning and development. (Assessment Essentials: planning, implementing, and improving assessment in higher education by Palomba and Banta 1999)
ASSESSMENT OF, FOR, AS LEARNING 1. Assessment of learning: Determines whether students meet grade level standards through assessment processes like standardized tests, exams, and final projects. 2. Assessment for learning: Provides ongoing insights into students’ learning and enables teachers to adjust teaching strategies as they teach. 3. Assessment as learning: Actively encourages students’ involvement in learning by promoting problem-solving skills, goal-setting, and critical thinking.

GOOD TO KNOW • Evaluation is generally used for examining how far a learning programme meets its goals. Some assessment may be part of that, but this would include stakeholders’ views and attitudes to textbooks as well as lesson content. • Assessment is a broad term that refers to all methods used to collect information about learners’ knowledge, ability, understanding, attitude and motivation. Assessment now encompasses a very wide range of strategies to collect the data necessary for these competences. • Testing is one part of assessment and is usually used to assess achievement. The outcome is a quantifiable result represented by a mark or grade.
TYPES OF ASSESSMENT STYLES. 1 . Diagnostic Assessment  A diagnostic assessment is like a sneak peek before the learning process begins. Teachers can use these assessments at the beginning of a course or unit to assess students’ prior knowledge and skills. This way, they understand what students already know and where they might struggle, and then tailor instructions accordingly. 2. Formative Assessment  A formative assessment is an ongoing, interactive evaluation that gauges student learning throughout the instructional process. These assessments provide immediate feedback to teachers, allowing them to adjust teaching methodologies on the go to improve student learning. 3. Summative Assessment  Summative assessments occur at the end of a unit, course, or academic period. These assessments measure students’ overall knowledge and understanding of a subject.
4. Ipsative Assessment  Ipsative assessments measure current student performance against previous results to track student achievement over time. These assessments often use a two-stage framework that allows students to retake exercises, student work, or tests, encouraging them to learn from their mistakes and do better with a second try. With Ipsative assessments, students can track their individual development, and by prioritizing individual student progress over comparisons with others, the process fosters intrinsic motivation and goal-setting. WHAT IS COMMON BETWEEN ALL THESE FORMS OF ASSESSMENT ?
ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENT There are several forms of assessment that meet the young learners’ needs, styles, preferences and objectives.  Interactive games and activities.  Videos watching.  Speaking performance.  Crossword puzzles.  Podcasts.  Projects.  Short presentations.  Role plays and simulations.  Song completion.
CRITERIA  Validity means that any assessment has to assess what we intend it to.  Reliability means that the test has to be the same experience for every student and to give, as far as possible, an accurate picture of their competence. When these principles underpin an assessment or assessment program, it gives everyone – teachers, students, parents, principals – confidence in the outcomes.  Fairness is concerned with assessing learners in ways that are appropriate for them, and that recognize the diversity of learners. It ensures that assessment allows all learners to show what they know and can do. It is also important to consider whether some learners may need additional assistance, and what other opportunities learners may benefit from. Fairness is necessary for ethical assessment practice and to give all learners equitable opportunities to succeed in their learning.
TIME FOR PRACTICE  YOU TAUGHT ONE OF THE FOLLOWING UNITS, DESIGN A GOOD FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT TOOL.  Food and Drinks.  Transport.  Hobbies.  Clothes.  Time.  Daily life.  School.  Health and welfare.  Travelling.  Sports and Entertainment.  Technology.  Environment.
 DECIDE ON THE FOLLOWING: · OBJECTIVES · EXERCISES · TARGET SKILLS · GRADING · DIFFICULTIES. · FEEDBACK.
ASSESSMENT AND LEARNING STYLES  LEARNING STYLES.  LEARNING PREFERENCES.  LEARNING OBJECTIVES. v.s ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES. A PEN AND A PAPER EXAM. Assessment strategies in education should be designed to reflect the diverse learning styles and capabilities of students, allowing for a holistic evaluation of their progress and achievements. By tailoring assessments to accommodate different modalities and preferences, educators can ensure fair and accurate feedback that supports student learning and development.
