Study Notes
Roles of Assessment in Teaching and Learning
- Assessment encompasses tests, measurement, evaluation, and the process of documenting knowledge, skills, attitudes, and beliefs to improve learning, not just judging it.
- Learning outcomes for the topic include differentiating tests, measurement, evaluation, and assessment; the roles of assessment in teaching and learning; general assessment principles; formative and summative assessments; and norm-referenced and criterion-referenced tests.
- Tests are used in education, workplaces to select suitable candidates for specific jobs, for promotions, and for encouraging re-learning.
- Measurement is assigning numbers to a phenomenon, in education, it is assigning numbers to people's attributes such as attitudes and academic achievement.
- Evaluation is the making of judgments based on criteria and evidence.
- Assessment is the process of describing, collecting, recording, scoring and interpreting information about learning.
Foundation for Assessment: What to Assess
- Curriculum should assess students holistically, not just the acquisition of facts, concepts, and principles of certain subjects, but also psychomotor abilities and socioemotional behaviors, such as attitudes, interests, and personality.
- Three types of learning outcomes exist for assessment: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor.
- Cognitive learning outcomes involve knowledge of facts, concepts, principles, and the application of these in problem-solving.
- Affective learning outcomes encompass feelings, emotions, and values.
- Psychomotor learning outcomes involve physical and motor skills.
Planning the Classroom Test
- Planning effective classroom tests involves several steps: defining the test's purpose, specifying learning objectives, developing test specifications, selecting appropriate item types, creating marking schemes, preparing test items, and considering the implications of each step.
- Tests can serve various purposes, including formative assessment to help learners understand where they need to improve and summative assessment to provide feedback on what the learner has learned.
- Test planning includes determining which learning objectives are most important, suitable item types, whether the test is formative or summative, considering the time available, and creating a table of specifications.
Constructing Objective Test Items
- Objective tests include items where learners select from predetermined choices, and test for knowledge and comprehension.
- Subtypes of objective tests include short-answer, true-false, matching, and multiple-choice questions.
- Short-answer questions assess learner recall of specific information and are measured with the use of a brief and specific answer.
- True-false questions can assess recognition of knowledge or comprehension.
- Matching questions measure learners' ability to recognize relationships between different concepts or events..
- Multiple-choice questions assess knowledge or comprehension and are composed of a stem and a few choices. They are created using strategies to avoid biased phrasing, to avoid clues within the question to the answer, by using the correct response, or using distractors.
Constructing Essay Questions
- Essay questions assess a learner's ability to organize ideas, use evidence, and analyze information and perspectives.
- Two types of essay questions are commonly used: analytic and holistic.
- The analytic method involves evaluating each section of an answer and allocating points to specific parts or elements of the answer provided.
- The holistic method involves reading an essay's complete answer as a whole and evaluating it based on preset criteria, including the organization and presentation of ideas or arguments and quality.
