1. Explain your assessment method- what is it used for?
case studies and scenarios are used as theory testing. It shows exploratory case research. Case studies cannot be generalised.

2. what impact can this assessment method have? include some research explaining the benefits of your research?
The impact of this assessment is very specific. It is visual. the benefits of this assessment method is that students can put into practice the theory of what they know and have learnt.

3. Two advantages and Two disadvantages of the assessment method?
advantages - flexibility to collect data through various means.
Ability to capture the context and lived reality of participants.
Disadvantages - Providing little basis for generalisation. The students own subjective feelings may influence the case study.
Time consuming.

4. An example of how you would use this assessment method in your practice.
I could ask my students to work alone, in pairs or small groups and create a game/task/story/act out a scene from the book, using all the information they have learned, e.g. phonic, reading and writing, and then deliver it to the class. This would show specific memory and understanding of what they have learnt.

Explain assessment method. What is it used for?

Asking questions is an effective way of assessing learner’s prior knowledge and to help keep them engaged with the current task/ session.

There are two forms of questioning that can be used: open and closed questions. Closed questions are those that prompt a simple response such as yes or no. Whereas open questions prompts the students to respond with a more detailed answer. This encourages a deeper level of thinking and may include students’ reflections, thoughts and opinions.

What impact can this assessment method have? Include some research explaining the benefit of your assessment method?

For questioning to be an effective assessment method, the questions should be well-considered and challenging to promote students to retrieve and link their knowledge. According to statistics, teachers ask between 300-400 students per day (Collier, 2018).

2 advantages

Questions aimed towards the group of learners encourages discussion and for learners to engage with each other and their work. Effective questioning helps learners to think out loud, build critical skills, helps to clarify their understanding and allows teachers to assess learners understanding frequently.

2 disadvantages

Disadvantages of open questions

·         Open ended questions may prompt a longer response, which may impact lesson time

·         Answers might differ in length of response or detail between learners

Disadvantages of closed questions

·         Learners will not provide an answer which shows detailed understanding

·         Closed questions do not give the learners opportunity to think critically

Example how you would use this in your practice

Questioning should be used frequently, in my opinion, in order to continually assess the learner’s knowledge and understanding so that topics can be recapped if required. This can be used during your lesson to prompt group discussion on a topic rather than taking a ‘lecturing approach’, which would help to keep the students engaged. Questioning may also be used at the end of a lesson to ask if students did not understand anything overall.

Explain what your assessment method is and what is it used for:

Peer Assessment

Peer assessment provides a structured process for students to provide constructive feedback on other learner's work. This can be used as a formative assessment technique.

Rotsaert, Panadero and Schellens (2018) explain it is a method which students are actively involved in the assessment process.

What impact can this assessment method have?

It helps the students develop lifelong skills in assessing providing feedback to others. It also provides them with the skills to self-assess to approve their own work. Peer assessment has been identified as one method for delivering feedback efficiently and effectively to learners (Double, McGrane, Hopfenbeck, 2019).

Advantages:

Encourages student involvement and responsibility

Students are involved in the process and are encouraged to take part ownership of this process.

Disadvantages:

The process has a degree of risk with respect to reliability of grades as peer pressure to apply elevated grades or friendships may influence the assessment, though this can be reduced if students can submit their assessments independent of the group.

Students feel ill equipped to undertake the assessment and may mark everybodies work the same.

How it would be used in practice:

Teachers could provide a quiz and ask students to swap over once finished and mark each other's work and provide some feedback. Another example could be if students have answered a case study or mock exam, they could then swap with their peers and this allows ll learners to get an idea of the way their work is marked and the standards expected.

1. Explain your assessment method
Kahoot is technology based assessment method that allows Teachers to set interactive and competitive quizzes for students to engage with. This allows students to track their progress and enables the teacher to assess what areas each student is progressing in and what areas they may need more support with.

2. What impact can this assessment have? According to Kahoot.com "From quick pulse checks to formative assessment and tracking class progress, it can help you capture actionable insights and target instruction in any learning environment". This is beneficial for both the student and the teacher as it enables us to form a pre-assessment and a formative assessment of learning and can be used informally to track progress.

3. Two Advantages and Two Disadvantages of the assessment method?
Two advantages of Kahoot can include an informal approach to tracking students progress as it allows us to identify strength and weaknesses within the group. Another advantage is that it allows students to score their results and gives them a boost of confidence. The disadvantage of Kahoot is that it enables students to see who has the lowest score which can negatively impact on their progress and engagement in the subject. Another disadvantage is that Kahoot is interactive and runs to a timing tracker so learners with additional needs such as dyslexia may not answer in time resulting in a lower score.

4. An example of how you would use this assessment method in your practice?
In my own teaching practice, I have used Kahoot at the beginning of a session to gain an insight into learners existing knowledge of the curriculum content. I have then used it again at the end of the session to encourage them with their individual retrieval of new knowledge gained from that session. This generally gains positive feedback from learners and I find it a useful tool to engage and encourage students learning.

Retrieval Practice

1.   Retrieval practice (formerly referred to as the “testing effect") is a useful revision and effective learning technique that helps in memory retention because it involves recollection of prior knowledge. This is an active form of learning. That is used to help encourage long term memory, rather than learning specifically by route.

2. This assessment method can build an individual’s longer-term ability to retain information. Evidence shows that retrieval practice is especially effective at increasing longer-term retention and generally outperforms more common strategies such as repeated studying or even more elaborate ones like concept mapping (McDermott, 2021; Karpicke & Blunt, 2011; Roediger & Karpicke, 2006).

3.  Two Advantages of Retrieval Practice

·      Makes it easier to learn new things – the more information you remember, the easier it is becomes.

·      Strengthens the connection - research suggests that expending more cognitive effort on a task may result in a better performance,

Two Disadvantages of Retrieval Practice

·      It is suggested that retrieval practice, if used incorrectly, can also increase the recollection and retrieval of wrong information.

·      Retrieval practice is focussed too much on mere factual recall rather than application

4. Examples of Retrieval practice can include: Flashcards, concept maps and quizzes.

Self assessments allows for individuals to look at their own practice, to evaluate and make judgements on what they have done. It helps the individual to take ownership of their own learning, by making themselves aware of their own abilities and be encouraged to build on these.

The Benefits of Self Evaluation and Assessment | WeThrive

This link above identifies many benefits to self assessment (also known as self evaluation). The key one I feel is that it allows the student to feel more engaged in their own learning, which in turn will encourage them to perform more/put more effort into tasks.

Advantages

1. It does not involve peer pressure as nobody else is assessing them.

2. It helps students to be more aware of how to reflect, acknowledging strengths and weaknesses

Disadvantages

1. Can be time consuming for students

2. Assessments may not be a accurate as students may be under or over critical (therefore not showing a true picture)

Self assessment often happens without realising it, for example when students are asked to think about what they think about a topic, or how they would deal with a situation. Reflection is key in self assessment, this would be essential especially after situations such as exams or assignment feedback (student comments section) as it focuses on the bigger picture/event, whilst allowing the individual to breakdown the strengths and weaknesses.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
It may not be clear to those who of us who don't enjoy talking about ourselves, but there are many benefits of self evaluation and assessment. Often if you dread your annual performance review, you are not alone. The chances are that your manager is equally unenthusiastic about the meeting. Numerous studies in the last decade have found that managers and employees alike are sick of the annual charade. Companies are under increasing pressure to up their talent management efforts.

The reward-punishment structure of the annual review saps morale. Managers hate conducting them and employees dread them. So, what's the alternative?

Self-evaluation and more regular discussions are the new meaningful and resourceful way of managing employee reviews. In recent years, many companies have ditched the annual appraisal in favour of more regular continuous feedback. The evolution of self-evaluation has been a big part of this shift. And now self-assessment is proving far more successful in its outcomes than the hated annual review.

The emphasis has shifted from past performance to what employees need to develop and grow. Self-assessment has been integral to this change.

Need further convincing? Here's the lowdown on the benefits of self-evaluation and assessment.

First up, what is it?

What is self-evaluation?

Simply put, self-evaluation is the ability to examine yourself to find out how much progress you have made. It requires employees to monitor their own abilities and evaluate strengths and weaknesses. It puts employees largely in charge of their own development.

A self-evaluation means considering questions such as:

Where have you excelled?

What achievements are you most proud of?

Where do you feel you need more support?

What goals do you wish you could have accomplished?

What would help you to accomplish these goals?

What do you most like about your job?

What do you most dislike about your job?

What improvements could be made to make your role easier?

What components of your job would you like to eliminate and why?

What career goals to you hope to accomplish in the next three years?

These are the kind of questions included in a self-evaluation - ones that prompt thought about performance. The purpose of a self-assessment is to help an individual know the extent of their abilities and to improve upon them. It can be daunting to an employee when they first start self-evaluating, but over time it becomes more natural.

There are many advantages of self-evaluation and assessment to both staff and employers/managers.

What are the benefits of self-evaluation in the workplace for employees?

Through self-assessment, employees can:

Feel more engaged in the appraisal process

Gain greater insights and set future goals for improvement

Feel more confident about their abilities

Enhance capacity building (learn to make corrections quickly)

Select training programmes that are most suited to needs

Develop an inquiring mind for problem solving

Become more accountable

Feel more valued

Feel more motivated to learn new skills

Importantly, when employees feel heard through the self-evaluation process, they are more likely to listen to feedback from their managers. The appraisal process becomes much more of a two-way discussion when it revolves around regular self-evaluation.

One of the most important aspects of self-assessment to employees is the autonomy it provides. The process discourages micromanagement from team leaders, which we all know is a stifling drain on productivity. Employees who self-evaluate and are free to make their own choices about how they go about their responsibilities are happier, more committed, more productive and more loyal.

What are the benefits of self-evaluation and assessment in the workplace for managers?

Employers and managers benefit greatly from employee self-assessment. When an employee self-evaluates, managers are able to gain insights into how employees feel about their work and how they fit into their team. They can get a real sense of how employees view their jobs. It highlights misunderstandings and employees also get to feedback to managers what motivates them.

It gives business owners and managers a much broader perspective to work with and helps them to see the employees' side of the story - it's inevitable that there will be some differences between the view of an employee and the person who manages them. But many great ideas about how to resolve productivity hitches can come from employees.

When managers have a clear picture of what makes an employee tick, they can incentivise individually to help each team member achieve the goals they have set themselves. It means managers can direct tasks in the future that play to a person's strengths and ensure training and support is put in place to address weaknesses.

The biggest benefit for employers is the confidence it gives to employees. The continual process of self-assessment by employees and subsequent individual growth is hugely valuable to all.

Self-assessment and continual feedback contribute hugely to a culture of trust and engagement - the linchpin of business success.

The general benefits of self-evaluation and assessment

Self-reflection happens all the time in everyday life. We do this from childhood - it's how we learn and grow. In education, it is increasingly utilised as a valuable learning tool. As we move into adulthood, the process of self-reflection often isn't given a second thought, but self-reflective practices, such as meditation and mindfulness are becoming much more common and are lauded by many successful business leaders all over the world.

There's a slight difference between self-reflection and self-evaluation in the workplace, but the principles are the same - it's all about growth. While self-reflection in everyday life seeks insight into behaviour and values for personal growth, self-evaluation at work is used to study performance in order to improve it.

Both seek a deeper understanding of self and look at ways to move forward.

There are scores of studies on the value of self-reflection. A study by the Harvard Business School, for example, confirms a powerful connection between learning and reflection. It found the effect of reflection on learning is mediated by greater perceived ability to achieve a goal. American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer John Dewey said: "We do not learn from experience ... we learn from reflecting on experience."

The advantages of self-evaluation are plain to be seen. But it's not always so easy to implement. It takes time to coach employees to become used to the idea - some find it easy while others cringe at the thought of self-assessment.

That's where WeThrive can help. We offer a complete employee experience platform that will help you and your employees learn what is and isn't working in the workplace. Our on-demand Bubble surveys get to the route of any problems and encourage self-reflective practices. The WeThrive action plans ensure you and everyone in your team get the tools they need to thrive at work.

We help businesses benefit from the advantages of self-evaluation. Are you ready to reap the benefits of self-assessment?

What is Meta-Cognition?

Cognition is described as the mental process involved in knowing, understanding, and learning.

Meta-Cognition is described as ‘learning to learn’

The Education Endowment Foundation defined it as:

'Students' ability to monitor, direct and review their learning. Effective metacognitive strategies get learners to think about their own learning more explicitly, usually by teaching them to set goals and monitor and evaluate their own academic progress.'

What impact can this assessment method have?

There is potential for metacognition to have a large impact on all students, but even more so for disadvantaged students.

It has the power to improve outcomes by encouraging deeper thinking.

It's not just about knowledge. Transferable skills like analysis, reasoning and evaluation all come from a metacognitive starting point.

Cognitive agility and flexibility is important now more than ever when young people are much more likely to have careers in jobs that don't even exist yet.

Metacognition allows individuals to face situation without feeling frustrated or anxious, making it more beneficial for those with additional learning support needs. For example, a child with ADHD who struggles to stay focused may feel anxious when writing essays, while a child who has the ability to reflect may think ‘I always feel like this when I must work for a long time, I could fix this by taking breaks’. Providing children with the skills to reflect through metacognition will allow them to address those feelings and change ‘I can’t’ to ‘how can I'.

A metacognitive approach makes it easier to manage frustration and find solutions.

2 Advantages -

Increased ability to learn independently.

Improved resilience.

2 Disadvantages -

Can interfere with task performance, the time spent on metacognition can at times outweigh its benefits.

may increase opportunities for negative appraisals of intrusive thoughts

An example of how you could use the method in practice.

1. Explain your assessment method
Quizzes are a way to test knowledge of students and are best used as a formative type of assessment. It is used to to gauge how well students understand the material and what they may need to revisit.

2.What impact can this assessment method have? Include research.
Can give immediate feedback to learners and teachers to see areas of strength and weakness and identify areas for growth.
Journal of applied research in memory and cognition, March 2012 ‘Experimental results indicate that unsupervised online quizzing in a college course enhances exam performance.’

3. Two advantages
Supports differentiation and provides pre teaching indicators
Fun, low stake and good for engagement

Two disadvantages - depending on style of quiz will require marking.
Might not give an accurate picture of how student is performing due to other factors on the day.

4. An example of how you would use this assessment method in your practice.
Use quiz at beginning of session to assess baseline knowledge and then could repeat quiz at end of the session to assess what learning has taken place.

# data[].attributes.body
Two advantages - 1 = It can assess that the learner has remembered course content.
2 = It is a way to qualify a learner on a course.
Two disadvantages - 1 = It puts more pressure on learners. 2 - Some people could copy and plagiarise others work.

An example of how you would use this assessment method in your practice - I would set an assignment on each part of the syllabus to ensure that knowledge has been demonstrated.

What method is this used for - Summative assessment at the end of a module - High stakes assessment

What impact can the assessment have ? this can cause some levels of stress and anxiety if it is a compulsory module. It could have some low impact if the pass rate is say 50% overall.

# data[].attributes.body
1.
Exams are summative and high stakes, usually done at the end of the course/assignment.

2.
The impact of this high stakes method of assessment is high stress and anxiety, performance may decrease. Exams do not benefit all learning styles, not all students have good memory skills. Exams can take a long time to filter back to the student therefore they would not know how they are doing in the course until it's too late.

3.

An advantage of the exam method is that it encourages synthesis across the course. Another advantage is that exams create discipline.

A disadvantage is that the students are  less focused on improvement and secondly it creates a high workload at concentrated times for them

4. I would use this assessment method at the end of the course to assess the knowledge of the students via a general exam. It is a summative assessment. Another assessment would be to watch students demonstrate the routine which has been taught.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
As students across worldwide brace themselves for a series of frantic revision sessions in preparation for exams, bowing to a demanding exam timetable, schools embark on what's renowned for being the most stressful time of the academic year.

We investigated exactly what this means for students and teachers, and whether or not this is in fact the best way to assess student learning.

It's only the second cohort of students to face the new GCSE exams, introduced by Conservative MP Michael Gove last year. According to Gove, the new exams were designed to be "more demanding, more fulfilling, and more stretching" in order to "give our young people the broad, deep and balanced education which will equip them to win in the global race".

As a result, each GCSE has been designed to be more challenging, covering more content, and tested almost exclusively by summer examinations. This has resulted in what teachers are referring to as the "exam factory" approach to assessments, which sees students sitting up to 28 exams in just two or three weeks.

As you might imagine, this is having a profound impact on the wellbeing of students across the country who are buckling under the weight of mounting exam pressure. So much so that the NSPCC reported that the number of referrals by schools in England seeking mental health treatment for students increased by more than a third between 2015-2018. A survey conducted by London Metropolitan University suggests that this directly links to the exam season, with 94% of secondary school teachers agreeing that students were driven towards stress-related conditions during exam periods.

With an increasing emphasis placed on the importance of student wellbeing, schools are already putting measures in place to try and ensure their students have the best experience possible in their journey to higher education. Many of our own schools have signed up for our dedicated Wellbeing Manager, a solution designed to record and monitor student concerns, whilst some schools are introducing yoga and mindfulness classes for their staff and students.

However, with stagnating budgets and limited resources on offer to support, will this be enough to combat the impact of exams? And shouldn't this severe influence on mental health be enough to encourage the re-evaluation of exams as a definitive style of assessment?

Why do we have exams?

Exams are an undeniably good way of quantitatively evaluating student outcomes. Testing more than just memory, they also seek to assess a student's comprehension, application of learning and critical thinking - all skills they will go on to use in their professional careers. They will then be awarded a single grade for each subject to represent their combined abilities in the above areas, comparable to their classmates across the country.

However, is this singular mark really a fair reflection of the student's knowledge? Many say that one of the key shortcomings of the exam-based assessment is that it's only indicative of students' knowledge at the time of the exam. With all the best intentions, late night cramming sessions and frantically flicking through cue cards outside the exam hall are activities that have become so ingrained into the revision process, they're almost a rite of passage. But if there's one thing we know from these last-minute attempts to absorb everything a student has learnt over the past year, it's that this information is rarely retained beyond the end of the exam.

This suggests that a more staggered approach to assessments could be beneficial in building and monitoring students' knowledge over time, as opposed to capturing evidence of what they know in an isolated moment in their school career.

Do exams really give students an equal chance?

Another theory lending itself to the exam culture in schools is that they provide students with an equal chance by objectively asking the same questions, for the same number of marks, regardless of set or ability. Although, it's worth noting that exam structure varies dramatically from course to course, as does the marking criteria; for example, you have the "right or wrong" answers in subjects like Maths and essay-based responses required in subjects such as English and History. This makes it very difficult to accurately and fairly compare students of different disciplines across numerous courses.

However, it could be argued that this will be a potential challenge regardless of which assessment type you employ; for example, in presentation-based assessments not every student is a skilled public speaker and therefore some will perform better than others. In this instance, perhaps a more flexible approach to assessments is needed which accounts for students' disciplinary strengths; this may also have a knock-on effect in terms of placating some of the anxiety students face surrounding exam performance.

Another element of the UK's current assessment structure that will inevitably impact student wellbeing, is that the exam timetable often means that every exam is scheduled over a concentrated period of two to three consecutive weeks. This means that all the pressure and anxiety students feel towards their final assessment is allowed to build throughout the academic year until it comes to a head at a single point towards the end of the school year.

Under periods of extreme stress, psychological studies have proven that performance dips below optimum level. A study conducted in British International Schools by ISC Research highlighted that 83% of teachers feel that exam stress can impact negatively on student outcomes in their exams. Not only is this indicative that students perhaps don't always fulfil their full potential with the exam style assessment, but it also runs the risk of being detrimental to their health and wellbeing. This suggests that more evenly spreading exam times across the term or perhaps even having students sit fewer exams could be a way around this.

What about the impact on teachers?

We've spoken a lot so far about the effect of the exam season on students, but we also need to consider its impact on your teaching staff. It's easy to underestimate the work involved in prepping hundreds of students for their exams each year and the new GCSE structure has only added to teachers' already significant workloads.

Not only have teachers had to spend time grappling with another series of exam specifications and curriculum changes, but they've had to do all this in the midst of further budget cuts across the sector. This has resulted in fewer resources and revision materials to support your staff when they're trying to teach students even more information within a restricted time period, often meaning that students are having to learn the syllabus right up to sitting the exam.

Perhaps more critically than this, whilst a student is in school their teachers become their primary carer in place of their parent/s or legal guardian. With the rise of exam-related mental health disorders, your teachers and members of staff will be facing even more pressure in providing proactive and preventative pastoral care for every student. Which once again leads us to question the sustainability of exams as the core method of assessment.

So... if not exams, what?

Traditionally, the written exam has been the favourite form of assessment for generations of students - so if we were to replace this, what would we do instead?

Based on what we've discussed above, it seems that the key to not only fairer assessments but also ones that will minimise the risks to student wellbeing, is striking a balance between both the style of the assessment and the time period over which it's carried out.

Taking a more balanced approach in lessening the emphasis placed on the "exam season" as one fixed, relatively short period of time in the academic year, and spreading out assessments so exam pressure is less concentrated, would incentivise students to retain knowledge over longer periods of time and appease the "one chance to do well or fail" attitude that causes so much anxiety.

In terms of the assessment method itself, taking written-based exams has its benefits in the schooling system, but perhaps student outcomes would benefit from a combination of this with other methods, that would enhance students' skill sets for later life and more fairly represent their subject strengths as opposed to their disciplinary strengths.

How can iSAMS help?

At iSAMS, we developed our Wellbeing Manager module to help schools create a clear system for recording student concerns.

Key features include:

Manage all student wellbeing records in a single place

Quickly find the most relevant information for pastoral care via the interactive dashboard

Receive notifications whenever a new concern, an action recorded against a concern, or a life event is logged and/or updated

Set the severity of a concern using the raised flag system: yellow (monitor), green (mild) and red (severe)

Record concerns against single or multiple students

Record students' life events

Control the level of visibility to sensitive records

Receive automatic indicators for possible concerns, including students being regularly late or absent from classes

Automated workflows and indicators

One of the strengths of the iSAMS MIS (Management Information System) is the ability to pull information from other areas of the system. With this in mind, we reviewed the Wellbeing Manager module to see how we could make use of the data in iSAMS to provide staff with useful insights into student behaviour.

We created workflows to enable school staff to identify trends that indicate a wellbeing concern or an achievement. If a student exhibits a pattern of behaviour, such as frequently being late to (or absent from) lessons, a workflow can be created that triggers an 'indicator' (or notification) for relevant staff members, empowering them to act on the issue immediately.

Workflows can therefore eliminate the need for staff to manually run reports by automating the process, saving a considerable amount of time and bringing key data to light immediately.

Key features

Set up custom workflows based on the data and frequency of an event that fits your school's wellbeing policy

Receive an indicator each time the workflow criteria are met

Run the workflow automatically once a day, or else trigger the workflow manually

Indicators will email relevant staff members, providing notification settings are set up correctly

Promote the indicator to a concern record

Dismiss the indicator and automatically put the student into detention

Dismiss the indicator and manage the event outside of the Wellbeing Manager module
