Study Notes
Integrated Assessment
- Assessment should fit the student setting and be done on a daily basis, not just at the end of instruction
- Informative learning objectives, instructional strategies, assessment methods, and reporting processes should be clearly aligned
Assessment Methods
- Multiple methods should be used to assess student learning, including tasks, projects, and performances
- Recognition should be given to both the process and product of learning
Communication of Assessment Data
- Communication of assessment data should be clear and transparent
- Results should be posted to a database and students should receive routine feedback on their progress
- Parents should be kept informed through progress reports and assessments
Technically Sound Assessment
- Assessment must be technically sound, reliable, and consistent in administration and interpretation of data
- Students should demonstrate what they know and can apply knowledge in relevant and appropriate ways
Systematic Assessment
- 21st-century assessment is part of a comprehensive and well-aligned assessment system
- Assessment should be balanced to meet the needs of all students, parents, and stakeholders
Authentic Assessment
- Authentic assessment captures the constructivist nature of learning, where students don't just repeat information but demonstrate understanding
- Authentic assessment integrates teaching, learning, and assessment, and includes problem-solving and decision-making skills
- Authentic assessment provides multiple paths for demonstration, and students may have different ways to demonstrate their learning
Formative and Summative Evaluation
- Formative evaluation is used as feedback to modify tracking and learning, and occurs during instruction
- Summative evaluation is conducted at the end of each section or unit to find out student achievement, and is typically traditional paper-pencil measures
Norm- and Criterion-Referenced Assessment
- Norm-referenced assessment compares student performance to others, describing student performance in the class
- Criterion-referenced assessment describes student performance without reference to others, using pre-defined criteria or absolute standards
Contextualized and Decontextualized Assessment
- Contextualized assessment focuses on students' functional knowledge and performance in real-world applications
- Decontextualized assessment includes written exams and term papers, best for assessing declarative knowledge and procedure knowledge in artificial situations
Analytic and Holistic Assessment
- Analytic assessment provides specific feedback on particular tasks, evaluating student performance on specific learning outcomes
- Holistic assessment takes a global approach, evaluating student learning outcomes and providing a grade with justification
