ASSESSMENT AND
FEEDBACK
WEEK #9
WHAT IS ASSESSMENT?
• Assessment is the shared process of
gathering purposeful and systematic
measurement for documentation,
reflection, and improvement of both
student learning and institutional practices
WHY IS ASSESSMENT IMPORTANT?
• Assessment helps students learn, teachers
improve instruction, administrators decide
how to allocate resources, and
policymakers evaluate the efficacy of
education programs
ASSESSMENT IS NOT EVALUATION!
• Evaluation analyzes and uses data to
make judgments about student
performance
• Assessment analyzes and uses data
to make decisions about
teaching strategies and student
TYPES OF ASSESSMENT
 Formative
 Interim/benchmarked
 Summative
Other types…
• Diagnostic
• Performance
• Individual or group
projects
• Portfolios
• Student logs
• Journals
FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT
• Definition
• Process of gathering evidence of student
learning
• Providing feedback
• Adjusting instruction strategies to enhance
achievement
• Learners can change behaviors
• E.g., discussion, quiz, etc.

Editor's Notes

  • #3 Shared between instructor and students Purposeful – careful planning Systematic – continuous and organized effort Measurement – quantifying meaningful data Documentation – evidence Reflection – about learning Improvement – quality of education
  • #4 Shared between instructor and students Purposeful – careful planning Systematic – continuous and organized effort Measurement – quantifying meaningful data Documentation – evidence Reflection – about learning Improvement – quality of education
  • #6 assesses a student’s strengths, weaknesses, knowledge, and skills prior to instruction E.g. prior knowledge, levels, interest, motivation, etc. for preparation of class, analyzing students’ characteristics
  • #7 Short-term Help integrate Immediate feedback
  • #18 Specific learning goal, motivation Support to enhance learning by breaking a task down into smaller parts Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development Compare student work with previous performance Where the standards define the expected learning (kind of goal-directed) Compare a student’s performance to what other studnets have achieved.
  • #19 Oral, written, and demonstration of correct procedures Ability, grade level, subjects, etc.
  • #26 Feedback is limited Compare to standard or groups
  • #33 Computer adaptive testing (CAT): Algorithms assess a student’s performance based on a sequence of right or wrong answers or previous responses
  • #34 Computer adaptive testing (CAT): Algorithms assess a student’s performance based on a sequence of right or wrong answers or previous responses
