Study Notes
Teaching, Learning, Observations, and Experiences
- Field study and observation courses provide opportunities for teachers to gather data and make informed decisions about student learning.
- A combination of two or more sources of information can be used to make the decision-making process as sound as possible.
Assessment and Instruction
- There is a close relationship between assessment and instruction.
- Assessment data serves as a basis for teachers to decide what actions to take to help learners achieve desired learning outcomes.
- Data can be obtained from informal assessments (e.g., observations, teacher-learner interactions) and formal assessments (e.g., case studies, problem-solving).
Categories of Assessment
- Linn and Gronlund (2000) classified assessment procedures into four categories:
- Placement Assessment: measures entry behavior
- Formative Assessment: monitors learning progress
- Diagnostic Assessment: identifies causes of learning problems
- Summative Assessment: measures end-of-course achievement
Informed Decision-Making in Education
- Informed decision-making in education is important for enhancing student learning and development.
- Linn (1999) emphasized the benefits of informed decision-making in education.
Types of Decisions
- Selection: involves accepting or rejecting an examinee based on assessment results for admission or qualification to a program or school.
- Placement: involves identifying students who need remediation or enrichment programs.
- Guidance: utilizes test data to assist students in making personal choices about their future careers.
Traditional vs. Authentic Assessments
- Traditional assessments: select a response, contrived activity, knowledge/comprehension, teacher-structured solution, easily achieved objectivity, and indirect evidence.
- Authentic assessments: perform a task, real-life activity, application/analysis/synthesis, student-structured solution, difficult to achieve objectivity, and direct evidence.
Formative and Summative Evaluation
- Formative assessment: improves student learning outcomes, provides feedback on teaching and learning processes, and is used to assess student learning during the process.
- Summative assessment: determines how much students have learned at the end of a term, unit, or academic year, and is used to evaluate student learning at the end of a course.
Holistic Assessment
- Holistic assessment: provides a comprehensive picture of student learning, offers students relevant teaching and learning materials, and ensures student learning outcomes are achieved.
- Holistic assessment develops decisive and investigative skills, permits students to handle assessment tasks effectively, and enables students to construct concrete responses to questions.
