Study Notes

Roles of Assessment in Teaching and Learning

  • Learning Outcomes: Differentiate between tests, measurement, evaluation and assessment; Explain the roles of assessment in teaching and learning; Explain the general principles of assessment; Differentiate between formative and summative assessments; and Justify when norm-referenced and criterion-referenced tests are adopted.
  • Introduction: The topic discusses the difference between tests, measurement, evaluation and assessment; the roles of assessment in teaching and learning; and some general principles of assessment. Also explored is the difference between formative and summative assessments as well as the difference between criterion and norm-referenced tests. The topic concludes with a brief discussion on the current trends in assessment.

Tests, Measurement, Evaluation and Assessment

  • Tests are used to measure our academic aptitude and to evaluate whether we have gained from the teaching, in schools, and to select suitable people for specific jobs, to encourage relearning and for job promotions, as well as to demonstrate competence in professions.
  • Measurement is assigning numbers to a phenomenon; in education, it's the process of measuring and assigning numbers to a person’s attributes.
  • Evaluation is the process of making judgments based on criteria and evidence to improve improvements.
  • Assessment is the process of collecting, recording, scoring and interpreting information about individual learning.

General Principles of Assessment

  • What is to be assessed should be clearly specified. Specification of the characteristics to be measured should precede the selection or development of assessment procedures.
  • An assessment procedure should be selected based on its relevance to the characteristics or performance to be measured. There must be a match between learning outcome and types of assessment tasks used.
  • Different assessment procedures are required to provide a complete picture of student achievement and development. One procedure cannot assess all outcomes.

Types of Assessment

  • Formative assessment (or evaluation) is continuous, used to track student progress and adjust instruction.
  • Summative assessment is conducted at the end of a learning period to measure overall mastery of the subject.
  • Criterion-referenced assessment assesses a student against a predetermined standard while norm-referenced assessment compare a student’s performance to other students’ performance.
  • Written examinations are being replaced by more continuous assessments and coursework.
  • There's a greater emphasis on student involvement and choice in assessments.
  • Group assessment is more prevalent to emphasize collaborative learning.
  • Subject areas/courses explicitly state assessment expectations.
  • An understanding of the processes (how something is done) is now viewed as equally important as the knowledge of facts.
  • Student-focussed "learning outcomes" are replacing teacher-oriented "objectives."

Planning the Classroom Test

  • Planning a classroom test involves deciding its purpose, specifying the learning objectives, developing test specifications, choosing appropriate item types, determining marking schemes and preparing test items.
  • Teachers need to consider the learners' needs , the specific learning objectives that need to be tested, and the type of questions that best measure the objectives.

Constructing Objective Test Items

  • Objective tests are those that are scored by referencing to answer keys rather than by the teacher's personal judgment.
  • Common objective items include short-answer, true-false, matching and multiple-choice questions.

Constructing Essay Questions

  • Essay questions are used to assess a learner's ability to organise thoughts and ideas into a coherent response, typically requiring a relatively long written answer.
  • Two common methods for scoring essays are the analytic method (marking specific components) and the holistic method (evaluating the overall quality).
