    Study Notes

    Assessment, Measurement, and Evaluation

    • Assessment is the process of gathering information about a student's learning progress or performance.
    • Assessment methods include tests, quizzes, observations, projects and discussions.
    • Assessment aims to understand what students know, understand, and can do.
    • Measurement is the quantification of attributes or characteristics using standardized instruments or scales.
    • Measurement assigns numerical values to traits like height, weight, intelligence, or achievement.
    • Measurement helps describe and compare characteristics.
    • Evaluation involves judging the quality, value, or significance of something, based on established criteria.
    • Evaluation interprets assessment data to make decisions about student learning, instructional effectiveness, program improvement or policy decisions.
    • Evaluation often compares actual outcomes against predetermined standards.

    Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE)

    • CCE is a systematic approach to assess student learning progress throughout the academic year.
    • It focuses on holistic development, considering cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains.
    • Identifying strengths and weaknesses helps create personalized learning interventions.
    • CCE reduces exam stress by spreading assessments throughout the year.
    • It promotes active participation and engagement via various assessment methods.
    • CCE fosters continuous learning by encouraging goal setting, progress monitoring, and reflection.
    • CCE promotes accountability and transparency by providing clear criteria and standards.

    Portfolio Assessment

    • Portfolio assessment is a comprehensive approach to evaluating student's progress and achievements.
    • It involves compiling a collection of a student's work over time.
    • It showcases a student's diverse abilities, skills and growth across subjects.
    • It provides a holistic view of their learning journey.
    • Portfolios can include written assignments, projects, artwork, presentations, videos, and reflections.

    Cooperative Learning

    • Cooperative learning is an instructional method where students work together in small groups to achieve a common goal.
    • It emphasizes active participation, mutual dependency, and individual accountability.
    • It promotes critical thinking, social skills, and inclusivity.

    Cognitive Learning

    • Cognitive learning is the process of acquiring knowledge, understanding and skills through mental processes.
    • It involves perception, memory, reasoning, and problem-solving.
    • Cognitive learning involves restructuring existing knowledge structures to accommodate new information.
    • It includes different types like associative, conceptual, procedural learning and problem-solving, and metacognitive learning.
    • Bloom's Taxonomy defines levels of cognitive learning from remembering to creating.

    Assessment for Learning (AfL)

    • It focuses on supporting and enhancing the learning process.
    • It involves gathering information during instruction to guide further learning.
    • AfL aims to promote student growth, improve learning outcomes, and inform instructional decisions.
    • Classroom observation, questioning techniques, exit tickets, feedback mechanisms, and data analysis are used as AfL tools and techniques.

    Achievement Tests

    • These tests measure student knowledge and skills in a specific subject area.
    • Achievement tests are designed to evaluate attainment levels and proficiency.
    • They can be standardized or teacher-made.
    • Achievement tests are used to evaluate learning outcomes, identify strengths and weaknesses, diagnose learning challenges and inform instructional decisions.

    Commutative Records/Cumulative Records

    • These are documents that systematically record a student's educational progress and experiences over time.
    • Commutative records document a student's academic history, including grades, test scores, attendance, and extracurricular activities.
    • They offer a comprehensive overview of a student's education journey.
    • They are used for educational planning, accountability, and parental engagement.

    Objective Tests

    • Objective tests are standardized assessment tools to assess knowledge, skills and abilities.
    • They use predetermined criteria for scoring.
