“Exit slips” or “exit tickets” that quickly collect student responses to a teacher’s questions at the end of a lesson or class period. Based on what the responses indicate, the teacher can then modify the next lesson to address concepts that students have failed to comprehend or skills they may be struggling with. “Admit slips” are a similar strategy used at the beginning of a class or lesson to determine what students have retained from previous learning experiences.

Diagnostic Assessment: Examples & Overview

# data[].attributes.body
Formal assessments are standardized tests which have higher reliability and are typically commercial products. They’re often meant to be given to an individual student to assess weaknesses and strengths rather than an entire class.

"Examples of standardized diagnostic reading and math assessments include:

Curriculum-Based-Measurements such as the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) which assesses phonemic awareness, alphabetical principles and phonics, oral reading fluency, comprehension and vocabulary

Reading Inventories including the Developmental Reading Assessment 2 (DRA-2) and Qualitative Reading Inventory (QRI)

Gray Oral Reading Test (GORT)

Reading Fluency Progress Monitor (RFPM) by Read Naturally

KeyMath-3 Diagnostic Assessment

Group Mathematics Assessment and Diagnostic Evaluation (GMADE)"

Informal diagnostic assessments are often created by the teacher and tailored for an individual class’s needs.

These can include:

Short, anonymous questionnaires about material to honestly assess students' interest and opinions

Multiple choice/short answer quizzes given before a new unit

The same test can be given after the unit to assess progress

Turn and talk. Students can discuss prior knowledge with their partner, and the teacher can monitor conversations to get a general idea of what they know

For reading, basic phonics or fluency tests

For math, basic skills tests

Textbook pre-course tests

Diagnostic assessment results serve as a baseline to determine how much a student has learned in a lesson/unit/year.

By revisiting the same assessment at the end of a lesson/unit/year, students demonstrate achievement and teachers can easily gauge progress.

A diagnostic assessment allows the student to have a peek at what they will be learning in a particular unit or class. This means the student will have a general idea about the material before they jump in. It may also inspire interest and excitement!

Diagnostic assessments can help shape how teachers structure their classes. If a teacher notices in a pre-diagnostic assessment that students grasp one concept well but maybe struggle in another, they can adjust their planning to make time to lay a stronger foundation.

# data[].attributes.body
Diagnostic assessment is a pre-assessment that allows a teacher to determine students' strengths, weaknesses, knowledge, and skills prior to learning new material.

They can be formal, commercial assessments meant to precisely measure gaps in skills and knowledge for individual students. More often, they're informal pre-tests tailored to a lesson to determine existing knowledge and gaps to make for more effective lesson planning.

Diagnostive assessments are low-stakes and non-gradable. They are meant to be a tool for the teacher for reference rather than an evaluation of knowledge or performance.

"Summative Assessments are used to evaluate student learning, skill acquisition, and academic achievement at the conclusion of a defined instructional period—typically at the end of a project, unit, course, semester, program, or school year.

The tests, assignments, or projects are used to determine whether students have learned what they were expected to learn.

Given at the conclusion of a specific instructional period, and therefore they are generally evaluative.

Often recorded as scores or grades that are then factored into a student’s permanent academic record."

Self-assessment has many advantages for student learning after a big project. By asking students to think about their own learning, it encourages metacognitive practices that deepen learning. It helps them to gain perspective, by thinking about how assignments fit into the context of their education.

The purpose of performance assessment is to improve student learning. The student can demonstrate their understanding and communicate that understanding through written or oral presentations.

Performance assessment measures one or more of these specific parameters:

1. Complex

2. Authentic

3. Process/product-oriented

4. Open-ended

5. Time-bound

Rigor and relevance are key characteristics of good performance assessments. Students must combine many pieces of information in logical and creative ways.

The general goal of formative assessment is to collect detailed information that can be used to improve instruction and student learning while it’s happening. Tends to be low-stakes. It can be used by instructors to improve teaching and by students to improve their learning. More diagnostic than evaluative.

Formative assessment. (2014). The Glossary of Education Reform. https://www.edglossary.org/formative-assessment/

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Formative assessment refers to a wide variety of methods that teachers use to conduct in-process evaluations of student comprehension, learning needs, and academic progress during a lesson, unit, or course. Formative assessments help teachers identify concepts that students are struggling to understand, skills they are having difficulty acquiring, or learning standards they have not yet […]

# data[].attributes.body
Through this process students are able to learn about themselves as learners and become aware of how they learn – become megacognitive (knowledge of one’s own thought processes). Students reflect on their work on a regular basis, usually through self and peer assessment and decide (often with the help of the teacher, particularly in the early stages) what their next learning will be.
