Study Notes
Types of Assessments
- Performance Assessments: measure students' capacity to apply their knowledge, abilities, and attitudes in practical situations
- Self-Assessments: help students become active and reflective learners and take control of their learning
- Ipsative Assessment: involves retaking an assessment and comparing results from previous performances
- Scenario-Based Assessment: involves a hypothetical scenario where learners apply their theoretical knowledge
Learning Terms
- Competencies: general statements detailing desired knowledge and skills of a student graduating from a course or program
- Objectives: general statements about larger goals of the course or program
- Learning Outcomes: specific statements that describe exactly what students can do in a measurable way
Characteristics of Objectives
- Specific
- Provides feedback for teaching
Targets of High-Quality Assessment
- Clear and Appropriate Targets
- Learning Target: a clear description of what students know and can do
Categories of Learning Targets
- Knowledge Learning Target: facts and concepts students should know
- Reasoning Learning Target: ability to reason and solve problems
- Skill Learning Target: skills that can be practiced and demonstrated
Evaluation
- Process designed to provide information to make a judgment about a particular situation
- Objects of evaluation include instructional programs, school projects, teachers, students, and educational goals
- Categories of evaluation: formative and summative evaluation
Formative and Summative Evaluation
- Formative Evaluation: judges the worth of a program while it's in progress, focuses on the process
- Summative Evaluation: judges the worth of a program at the end, focuses on the result
Types of Reasoning
- Inductive Reasoning: uses specific facts to infer general conclusions
- Deductive Reasoning: begins with a general rule to infer specific conclusions
- Analytical Reasoning: examines components of something
- Comparative Reasoning: describes similarities
Methods of High-Quality Assessment
- Appropriateness of assessment method
- Written response instrument: includes objective test, essay, examination, and checklist
- ABCD Model: outlines four things to consider when creating a learning objective (Audience, Behavior, Conditions, and Degree)
