This is one of the most challenging part of teaching
I see the vital importance of validity, reliability and fairness, as well as the need to assess the reasoning processes, the ability to establish connection between ideas, perform complex task and atitudes.
To face this challenge teachers need to develop new skills connected with: how to make questions or to create adequate assessment tools, to be able to give scaffolded feedback and to apply multiple assessments.

That´s why I am doing this and similar causes!!! I want to be a 21st century teacher.

The second approach to assessment is known as “formative assessment”. This is sometimes referred to as assessment for learning. Formative assessment is the kind of “real time” assessment teachers use to understand how well learners understand a new concept or are to apply a new skill – and provide the learner with feedback on what they still need to do to meet the learning objective. The teacher may adjust teaching approaches to meet learning needs more effectively. An assessment is considered as formative once the gap has been closed and the student has met the objective

In Greece, summative assessment is the most common with exams at the end of the year, the trimester or semester.
Formative assessment and self-assessment is rarely used, although these two types of assessment can really help both teachers understand the needs of the students, as well as the students realize their needs and their achievements.

# data[].attributes.body
Summative tests can contribute to formative assessment in general and to peer and self-assessment in particular. For example, learners can work in pairs or groups to review each other’s work and develop an understanding of the assessment criteria, thereby becoming better peer and self-assessors, and more independent learners

First of all, teachers need to learn to evaluate. Only summary evaluations do not allow the development of competencies.Formative evaluation must be accompanied by individual assessment and even peer evaluation.

The key competencies challenge school leaders and teachers to rethink learning and schooling in some important ways. When thinking about whether to assess key competencies, we need to consider which aspects of existing practice remain appropriate and which need to be rethought, reshaped and/or replaced. It's also very important to consider what we might want to achieve by assessing key competencies.

Assessment: a big challenge!. The goal of formative assessment is to monitor student learning to provide ongoing feedback that can be used by instructors to improve their teaching and by students to improve their learning. Formative assessments help students identify their strengths and weaknesses and target areas that need work.

The teachers in Croatia are very accustomed to the summative assessment enough to formative assessment, but very little to the self assessment. Yet the formative assessment is crucial for the achievement of competences and more the self assessment, because reflection on their own way of learning creates very strong logical connections and helps pupils to improve their learning.

To sum up, there are three major approaches to assessment. These include summative assessments – or assessments of learning; formative assessments – or assessment for learning, and self-assessments tracking progress against prior performances. These assessments need to be valid, reliable and fair. They also need to be able to capture students’ reasoning processes and problem-solving skills.

I find all the comments about assessment very interesting and video very clear. Connecting between ideas, solving problems and interacting between pupils create the ideal assessment with scaffolding skills and options.

Assessment is very important and necessary to see the effectiveness on teaching-learning approach.
Summarizing, there are 3 major approaches to assessment:
• Summative assessments (or assessments of learning);
• Formative assessments (or assessment for learning),
• Self-assessments tracking progress against prior performances.
These assessments need to be valid, reliable and fair.

# data[].attributes.body
We should all keep in mind that assessment is not static or unquestionable: it's something really variable and unpredictable... even through fixed criteria we should never forget other markers, such as transversal competences (creativity, intuition...)... therefore, the optimum could be an interchange among all these methods, in order to assess all mind processes in and for learning through one's own personal learning approach

I knew a bit about the three different kinds of assessment and I'm quite able to master summative and formative assessment. But I have to admit that I can make some progress in student self-assessment activities. I would like to see how colleagues apply this assessment.

The video explains in summary and effective way the types of evaluation. Despite the existence of three types, experience shows that teachers prefer above all to summative evaluation. On the other hand, they are reluctant to diversify the evaluation instruments, systematically using the tests.

Evaluation is very important for teachers and intervenes during learning processes, it serves to identify and to continuously put in place the most effective educational strategies. In fact, strategies can only be identified on the basis of pupils' knowledge and need to be developed, not only at the end, but also during their implementation, on the basis of a continuous assessment. Through it teachers can then activate promptly those compensatory interventions that are most appropriate for training purposes.

This video explains clearly what assessment is. It is very interesting that self-evaluation is considered essential for assessing the key competences. I think that this kind of assessment is scarcely considered  by some teachers and by the institution which obliges teachers to give grades according to the performance of the students. I think that too much importance is given to the assessment of learning and not to the process of learning and to self evaluation. However it is also true that it is impossible to follow students properly in overcrowded classrooms.

# data[].attributes.body
Assessment and evaluation are successful process when they are helpful in learning process, in developing and implementing teacher metodologies. Some of my colleagues think, as I red on the padlet, that making evaluation is the most difficult task for a teacher. I have another point of view: if you are open and critical mind it is not so difficult make evaluation, is more difficult creating a learning way in making evaluation. Considering this point of view, self assessment and peer assessment are very useful in learning process, and in developing skills and attitudes.

# data[].attributes.body
Assessment is a complex procedure and in order to be relaible it needs to combine elments from all kinds of assessment, so ass to reach a more objective conclusion on the learner's skills and abilities. In project based learning it would be worth taking into consideration peer assessment as well.

Assessment is the most difficult think of our job. Formative and summative assesment are useful for the teacher and the student to understand how modify and improve the lessons.

In my opinión, Evaluation is one of the most difficult tasks for a teacher. Sometimes we only consider the result of an objective test. This is somewhat poor because our students are surrounded by a series of circumstances that we can not ignore. This is the reason why I consider it is important to carry out a continuous evaluation, reducing the importance of exams and including all kinds of activities in our evaluation.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that all three assessment types can and should be used during the learning process in classroom. The teacher must not be misdirected and focus only to only category so the students' results can be reliable and fair. The teacher should also be flexible regarding the  nature of the questions.

In my opinion, learning process and the ways of teaching is key principles. We have to approach the students' learning from various prospects, we also have to encourage learning habbits the students have and of course to improve our abillities to understand the needs of our students and the needs of the time we live.

As a foreign language teacher (french) in primary school, I have to say that the emphasis is placed more on initiation to the second foreign language. We try to "gain" students since it is an optional lesson between french or german. We really struggle... It is true that more students prefer the language they get the higher marks. It is not always easy to evaluate students' motivation or participation...

Assessment is very important to see the effectiveness on teaching-learning approach. I like the three major approaches of assessment. Summative assessment ( Assessment of learning), Formative assessment ( Assessment for learning) These both are focused on to see the progress of students' learning objective and outline in curriculum standard  and the 3rd one is students Self-assessment (Personal development). All the assessments should be valid, reliable and fairness. I would apply this learning in my school.

# data[].attributes.body
There are two possible approaches to the challenge of developing ways to assess students’ progress in strengthening key competencies:

one approach is to use less familiar methods of assessment, which are likely to be new for for many teachers.

other approach is to adapt familiar strategies so that they are appropriate for new purposes.

I completely agree with Thomas from Greece:

"All three assessment processes of/for learning and ipsative assessment need to follow the three qualities mentioned here: validity, reliability and fairness, yet classroom-based assessment, portfolios and ICT-based assessment seem to be more appropriate to capture Ss higher-order thinking skills!"
Unfortunately it is quite difficult to implement these skills in traditional marks the curriculum, the students and the parents ask for because they are used to these.

THE EVALUATION PROCESS IS THE MOST DELICATE ASPECT OF TEACHING BECAUSE A TEACHER HAS TO BE CONSCIOUS OF HAVING DONE THE BEST TO GUIDE HIS PUPILS ON THEIR LEARNING PROCESS.

It is very interesting the comment of Jenny (Greece)  about the difference of assessment in Primary and Secondary in Greece (and Spain, I would say, too): Primary focuses on effort and Secondary in summative assessment - content.

It is great to read all the methods used by Dimitra (Brussels)  in Kindergarten. I do not know if it is possible to do that in Secondary.... probably the only way to make it happen in Secondary is by emphasizing on self-assessment and reflect it on the marks.

As long as the report card given at the end of the trimester does not include transversal skills, my pupils disregard them. Parents ask for the marks in each subject, as we used to have, they generally do not ask if their children collaborate well or if they are creative or manage correctly their feelings (except when there has been a disciplinary problem). Are transversal skills important? Then, make them have a real weight on their marks and results. Make them have more visibility for pupils and parents.

It seems as though all three kinds of assessment are important to measure knowledge, skills or assess personal progress. School curricula, of course, focus on the summative assessment as a priority. There has been some (slight) progress in the area concerning specific curricula of certain subjects. For instance, in foreign language teaching in Greek schools an attempt has been made to include self-assessment, via questionnaires and portfolios. Of course, there still is a lot to be done for formative assessment which is so essential for checking the comprehension of concepts and application of skills, and last but not least of the invaluable feedback which we need to improve our teaching methods. Sometimes such assessments are being done instinctively, but we need a more systematic application of criteria in order to improve their reliability and validity. A couple of seminars-courses and workshops would be necessary for this purpose. I would, also, like to stress out the importance of “assessing” the transversal competences and of forming positive attitudes on the part of our students concerning their progress. Curiosity, initiative and creativity or making connections between ideas and solve problems for instance.

I agree with Dimitra from Brussels about Kindergarten and personally, I find portfolio a useful tool for both teachers and students.

the challenge of self assesment is big, but they are not always mature enough to accept. A lot of work has to be done so assesment will be a motive to the future education

# data[].attributes.body
Students scarcely know what self-assessment is although I think we are on the right track to teach them and ourselves. This might be a chance for them to improve far better than they are sometimes but it takes time and self-awareness to internalise what they are exposed to and how to implement it in the right way.
Assessment and evaluation in general are the hardest part of our job as - whatever objective we can be - sometimes some slight form of subjectivity still remains

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the student self assessment is the most challenging. My students are not used to it and often they are not consciuos of how far they've got towards a specific competence objective. It is quite difficult to assess the degree of personal development. We should work a lot on this issue in the future.

Although all the three types of assessments are useful  tools of evaluation, I consider self -evaluation even more important in terms of effectiveness, because it makes the pupils  have an active part in their learning process.

Evaluation is a very difficult thing to do as the pupils' expectations often do not coincide with those of the teacher-use grids for both oral and written. in that final I take into account how knowledge evolves over time and how to measure knowledge skills and attitudes of pupils.

In Kindergarten assessment refers to the gathering and interpretation of information during the whole school year, so as to know what a child can do, say and apply. We use assessment to promote young pupils’ learning. We use observation in addition with several other methods of documentation to track pupils’ progress in all areas of learning (for example photos, portfolios, video/audio recordings, individual children’s comments or transcriptions of conversations during group times, teachers’ observations e.t.c.)

I teach in Secondary school and I work with  all three kinds of assessments but I would like to study more in depth third kind of assessment: student self-assessment, also known as ipsative assessment, which focuses on the student’s personal development. This approach is particularly appropriate for key competences that do not have a pre-defined learning objective – such as transversal skills of creativity, initiative, or the constructive management of feelings. It's very interesting and it opens new dimensions in learning and teaching.

In Greece a teacher uses summative assessment, formative assessment and self assessment. Self assessment is used in both primary and secondary education in Greece the past 10 years. Portfolios are most popular in Kindergarten.

There is a gap between the mode of assessment between in primary and in secondary education in Greece. In primary education emphasis on placed on pupils’ effort, whereas in secondary education emphasis is placed on summative assessment. Therefore there is much difference between pupils’ grades in primary and in secondary education.
