This document discusses principles of assessment of learning. It states that assessment should be an integral part of teaching and learning. The assessment tools used should match the learning objectives and the results should be provided to learners as feedback. When assessing, teachers should consider different learning styles and use multiple methods of assessment. Assessment should not be used as punishment and results should be communicated to parents. Formative assessment should be used to ensure learning, and assessments should use multiple sources to ensure reliability. Direct assessment methods require students to demonstrate learning through tests or presentations, while indirect methods ask students to reflect on learning through surveys or interviews.

teachers is to teach all
pupils/students, and that it is
possible that all students, even
those from limited backgrounds,
will have access to opportunities
and therefore can achieve, then the
bell curve mentality must be
abandoned
Curpos, Brenda & Salandanan, Gloria (2015) Principles of Teaching 1

15. Why assess? Assessing answers
questions:
• 1. What should our students be learning?
• 2. What are our students actually learning?
• 3. What can we do to help our student learn? What types
of changes can we make (to assignments, activities,
materials) to increase actual student learning?

What are assessment methods?
Assessment methods are the
strategies, techniques, tools and
instruments for collecting information
to determine the extent to which
students demonstrate desired learning
outcomes.

17. Direct
Indirect
VS.
Direct methods of assessment
ask students to demonstrate
their learning. Tests, essays,
presentations, etc. are
generally direct methods of
assessment.
Indirect methods ask
students to reflect on
their learning. It include
surveys and interviews.

18. Direct Methods …
Require students to display their
knowledge and skills as they respond to
the instrument itself.
Look at student work products or
performances that demonstrate level of
learning.
Are tangible, visible, self-explanatory
evidence of exactly what students have
and haven’t learned.
https://www.wssu.edu/assessment-and-research/assessmentmethods.pdf

19. Indirect Methods …
Ask students to reflect on their learning
rather than demonstrate it.
Capture students’ perceptions of their
learning and the educational
environment that supports learning.
Provide signs that students are probably
learning, but the evidence of exactly what
they are learning is less clear.
