Study Notes
Unit 1: Preliminary Concepts and Recent Trends
- Pre-service teachers should be able to differentiate between test, measurement, assessment, and evaluation.
- They should be able to identify different assessment modes based on authenticity.
- They should be able to classify different assessment types by purpose.
Introduction
- The PPST emphasizes the need for teachers to master assessment strategies aligned with the K-12 curriculum.
- This involves moving from traditional tests to performance-based methods.
- Assessment is critical for improving learning, teaching, and management.
- Continuous teacher development is needed.
Concept Attainment
- This activity helps distinguish "Assessment in Learning" from other areas of professional education.
- Words related to education were provided, and participants needed to identify those relevant to assessment in learning.
- Examples include: Stimulus, Grading, Magna Carta for Teachers, Summative Test, Visual Media, Code of Ethics, Measurement, Cone of Experience, Evaluation, and Cognitivism.
Basic Concepts
- Key concepts in educational assessment include measurement, assessment, evaluation, test, and testing.
Measurement
- A method for determining the extent to which someone or something exhibits a particular trait, such as quality, characteristic, or feature.
- Assigning numerical values to particular attributes of people, objects, or events.
- Quantifying student learning through tests, questionnaires, rating scales, checklists, and other tools.
Assessment
- The process of collecting and organizing quantitative data in a format understood for making judgments or decisions.
- Encompasses all strategies and activities teachers use to support student learning and progress evaluation.
- A prerequisite to evaluation.
Evaluation
- A process of systematically interpreting, analyzing, evaluating or making judgements about the value of organized data to inform decision-making.
- Refers to the process of carefully analyzing and interpreting the set of organized data or evaluation of students' behavior or performance.
- Involves making judgments about the need for change in students’ progress or outcomes.
Test
- A tool created to assess specific characteristics, quality, ability, knowledge, or skill.
- Consists of items related to the area intended to measure.
- Can vary in terms of function, content, format, administration methods, procedures, scoring, and interpretation.
Testing
- Defined as the process of administering tests to decide if students are eligible for grade or year level promotion, repeat a grade, or review lessons.
Modes of Assessment Based on Authenticity
- Traditional: Objective paper-and-pencil tests that assess low-level thinking.
- Performance: Assessment requiring actual demonstration of skills or creation of products.
- Portfolio: Gathering evidence of student progress to support course goals in dynamic, ongoing, and collaborative progress.
Assessment for Learning
- Placement: Conducted before instruction to identify student needs, guiding lesson planning, and group placement.
- Formative: Conducted during instruction to monitor student progress toward learning objectives and share results promptly with students.
- Diagnostic: Conducted during instruction to identify persistent learning difficulties and develop remedial instruction plans.
Assessment of Learning
- Summative: Final evaluations at the end of a unit or course often using standardized tests.
- High-Stakes: Significant assessments with high consequences, such as college qualifying exams.
- Performance-Based: Evaluations requiring students to demonstrate skills and knowledge through practical tasks.
- Certifies student knowledge, skills, and proficiency levels, demonstrating whether instructional goals have been met.
Assessment as Learning
- Self-Assessment: Students reflecting on their learning and identifying areas for improvement.
- Peer Assessment: Students providing feedback to one another, fostering collaboration and learning.
- Collaborative Assessment: Students work together to evaluate their learning, promoting a shared understanding.
Standards for Teacher Competence in Educational Assessment of Students
- Ensure teachers are skilled in selecting appropriate assessment methods for instructional decisions.
- Teachers develop appropriate assessment methods for instructional decision-making.
- Teachers administer, score, and interpret both externally and internally produced assessment methods.
- Use assessment results to make decisions about students, plan teaching, develop curriculum, and improve schools.
- Create valid student grading procedures using student assessment.
- Communicate assessment results effectively to students, parents, and other educators.
- Recognize unethical, illegal, and inappropriate assessment methods and uses of assessment information.
Users of Educational Assessment
- Teachers: Use assessment data to tailor learning experiences.
- Students: Gain insights into their progress, identify growth areas, and take ownership of learning.
- Parents: Receive information on student progress and participate in the educational journey,
- Administrators: Monitor school-wide performance, identifying areas for improvement in curriculum and resources.
