Study Notes
Assessment Flow
- Assessment is a systematic method of using results to learn about a student's knowledge, experience, skills, and views.
- Teachers should monitor students' performance and use data to make necessary adjustments to instruction and assessment methods.
- Evaluation and reporting of assessment results should be completed on time.
- Stakeholders, including policymakers, should use assessment findings to suggest measures to improve teaching and learning.
The Teaching-Learning Cycle
- Students should be assessed frequently to track their progress.
- The assessment process should be aligned with learning competencies, content, and performance standards.
- Teachers should choose between direct and indirect assessments.
- Direct assessments measure actual student behavior.
- Indirect assessments gather opinions about lessons or their objectives.
Planning For Assessment
- Develop critical learning outcomes that align with the cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains.
- Establish clear performance standards to measure student learning.
- Analyze the products of student learning to identify areas for improvement.
Understanding Learning Goals
- There are three types of learning targets:
- Learning Goal Targets describe the awareness that students will show an understanding of a concept.
- Foundational Targets consist of knowledge and underlying procedures that build to the cognitive level of the academic standard.
- Cognitively Complex Targets are formed to help students cover and deepen their knowledge and skills of the standard, requiring deeper logical thinking.
Understanding Competencies, Objectives, and Outcomes
- Competency: The state or quality of being competent, a skill or ability.
- Objective: A goal or aim.
- Outcome: A natural result or consequence.
- Learning outcomes are sets of expectations for learners.
- Competencies form the foundation for goals, while objectives are the tools for achieving desired results.
SMART Objectives
- SMART objectives are goals that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound.
- SMART objectives provide a demonstrable setup toward a specific target with dependable objectives and an estimated timetable to attain the goals.
Bloom's Revised Taxonomy
- Revised by Lorin Anderson, a student of Bloom.
- Renames the six categories from noun to verb forms, rearranging them to show a more active form of thinking.
- Categories are organized based on increasing cognitive complexity.
Types of Educational Assessment
- Assessment for Learning: Determines teaching and learning feedback.
Additional Notes
- Direct assessment should be emphasized.
- Learning goals are significant as they can direct the teaching-learning process in curriculum implementation, activity success, and outcome assessment.
- Competence-based evaluation involves analyzing the learners' work to determine their competency.
- Educational assessment is crucial to guarantee students’ success.
