Assessment is a tool for a teacher which provides an overview of students' understanding, evaluating progress and shows the learning gaps.

2024-08-07 16:42:15 UTC

A good assessment gives us data based on particular standards through varied types like formative & summative, testing different cognitive level of students. It provides valuable feedback to both students and teachers.

2024-08-07 16:52:28 UTC

One good example of good assessment is the use of Exit Tickets, where students demonstrate their understanding of a concept and evaluate their learning. It ensure Teachers also, that student has grasped the material and the knowledge transfer was effective.

2024-08-07 16:57:07 UTC

A non example of good assessment can be an assessment does not covering any standard of their grade & not having a specific learning target.

2024-08-07 18:45:15 UTC

Following a discussion on acute triangles “how many degrees are in a triangle?” (not clear how’s that related to the discussion)

Non-example of assessment, brainstorming without a clear purpose

lintetsu710 — 2024-08-07 19:30:48 UTC

This example is where a teacher observes students having brainstorming sessions for a topic without a clear goal, or criteria that evalutes those student-generated ideas. Basically brainstorming that just generates ideas, and not assessing individual understanding.-Tetsu Lin

Assessment example

lintetsu710 — 2024-08-07 20:13:21 UTC

Personal communication example where teachers take observation notes as students participiate in class. This is based off of the day/lessons learning target and criteria in mind. -Tetsu Lin

One essential characterstic of a good assessment

lintetsu710 — 2024-08-07 20:18:45 UTC

One characteristic of a good assestment is that it should be reliable. Meaning the assesment has consistent results that can be repeated again.-Tetsu Lin

Assessment

priyaashrayhasitha — 2024-08-07 20:19:48 UTC

Assessment is the process of measuring a student's knowledge and strengths on a particular subject, usually done by the teacher to analyze how far the student has improved after receiving the instruction at the given period of time.

Characteristics of assessment

priyaashrayhasitha — 2024-08-07 20:24:01 UTC

Assessment is done on a regular basis so that the teacher can have a glimpse of what the students are learning and how much they need to improve further. In this way, the teacher can modify the way of instruction to enable the students to reach to the expected level of standard on a particular topic/subject. Assessments are impartial to any discrimination.

Assessment definition

lintetsu710 — 2024-08-07 20:24:58 UTC

Assesment refers to the variety of methods tools and proceses that educators use to evaluate, and document a student's learning progress. Also can evaluate a students level of knowledge and progress towards meeting set learning targets. -Tetsu Lin

Examples of Assessment

priyaashrayhasitha — 2024-08-07 20:30:03 UTC

Check-in is an example for formative assessment: For e.g. the teacher wants to test the 6 grade students how far the students have understood the concept of ratio. So she gives this check-in ""In a survey of 40 people, 16 said they prefer tea over coffee. Represent this preference in ratios." This enables to record the students' understanding about the topic and how far they have progressed so that she can adjust the teaching accordingly.

Non examples of assessment

priyaashrayhasitha — 2024-08-07 20:42:18 UTC

Personal diaries, surveys, group projects, charts based on lessons, reading logs etc.

Anything that is not evaluated on a regular basis and is not testing anyone's performance on a scale basis is a non example of assessment.

Non-example

2024-08-07 22:59:27 UTC

A pop quiz that is not aligned with the material recently taught and does not provide feedback to students or inform future instruction.

Assessment

2024-08-07 23:44:26 UTC

Assessment is the process of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting information about students' learning to evaluate their understanding, skills, and progress.

Essential Characteristics of Assessment

2024-08-07 23:50:03 UTC

Essential characteristics of assessment are validity, reliability, fairness, clarity, and usefulness.

Example

2024-08-07 23:54:00 UTC

A good assessment example is a formative quiz that tests students on recently taught material. It provides immediate feedback on their understanding, helps identify areas needing review, and informs the teacher's instruction, all while aligning with the learning objectives.

Non example

2024-08-07 23:57:44 UTC

A non-example of a good assessment is a final exam that covers material from the entire semester with no prior practice or feedback. It may not effectively gauge current understanding or provide useful feedback for improvement.

Assessment

2024-08-08 02:34:45 UTC

The various methods and tools teachers use to evaluate student learning, identify areas of improvement, and guide instructional decisions.

Assessment

2024-08-08 02:35:28 UTC

There are two types of assessment: formative and summative. Formative assessments happen during the learning process, to see if you have understood thus far. Summative assessment occurs after the lesson is over.

Essential Characteristics

2024-08-08 02:36:35 UTC

A good assessment is characterized by several key qualities. Validity is essential, as it ensures that the assessment measures what it is intended to measure. Without validity, the results of an assessment are not meaningful or useful.

Example

2024-08-08 02:38:48 UTC

Several effective formative assessment strategies can help gauge student understanding in a middle math classroom. One example is the use of exit tickets. After a lesson on fractions, students can quickly write their response to a problem that involves adding or subtracting fractions. This allows the teacher to assess students' grasp of the concept before moving on to the next topic.

Characteristics

2024-08-08 02:39:35 UTC

It guides you to see if your lesson plan was executed. It gives you an idea of how and if the knowledge was absorbed.

Examples

2024-08-08 02:40:53 UTC

true or false questions

exit tickets

peer assessment

Non Example

2024-08-08 02:41:45 UTC

One example is grading homework without providing feedback. When a grade is assigned without giving students insight into their mistakes or guidance on how to improve, it fails to serve as a meaningful assessment of their learning.

Another non-example is the use of participation points. These fall short as a true assessment when awarded without considering the quality of students' contributions or their understanding of the material. Simply rewarding students for speaking up, without evaluating the substance of what they say, doesn't accurately measure their learning.

non examples

2024-08-08 02:43:07 UTC

only have one to assess all students, regardless of their strengths and weaknesses. Not being creative in the assessment process.

A method of evaluating whether students have reached a learning goal.

2024-08-08 04:13:26 UTC

It utilizes variety of approaches, from oral questioning to writing to self-assessment. It can judge different stages of the learning process, from developing understanding (formative) to demonstrating understanding (summative). It is ideally built on the basis of standards which create learning goals.

2024-08-08 04:17:00 UTC

A mental map "brainstorm" created to define a term. A paragraph demonstrating use of a writing technique. A one page multiple-choice test.

2024-08-08 04:18:04 UTC

Definition

dasipsita — 2024-08-08 21:39:16 UTC

A process to determine the level of learning of students, to track their progress, and also help teachers modify their future lessons if and as required.

Essential characteristics

dasipsita — 2024-08-08 21:46:04 UTC

Assessments should be held, so as to gauge students' understanding of the lesson, before, throughout and after, to continously inform the teacher about how much of the lesson content is getting across to the students.

Examples

dasipsita — 2024-08-08 21:49:23 UTC

Kahoot is a fun and engaging assessment tool that can be used as pre-assessment, formative or for an end-of-lesson assessment.

Non example

dasipsita — 2024-08-08 21:51:13 UTC

Assessment

2024-08-08 22:35:09 UTC

Assessment is the process of evaluating students’ understanding, skills and knowledge in a specific subject area, for example in logarithms, it informs instructions and provide feedback for improvement.

Characteristics

2024-08-08 22:37:31 UTC

A good logarithmic problem clearly specifies the base and the number, engaging students to reason and apply their knowledge of logarithmic properties to solve for the unknown or simplify expression while providing insight into what they have understood through the explanation.

Good Example

2024-08-08 22:38:57 UTC

Solve for x when log₂(8)=x. Here the student directly applies the basic property of logarithms and involves a simple calculation that reinforces understanding of how logarithms and exponents relate.

Non-Example

2024-08-08 22:40:21 UTC

Solve for x: log(x) + log(y) = log(10). Without any additional instructions, this lacks context and doesn’t specify the base of the logarithms, making it confusing and less effective to understand how to solve. Another example would be to, list five examples of logarithms. This is non-example, because it focuses on rote memorization rather than understanding or applying logarithmic concepts. And doesn’t assess the students’ ability to work with logarithms in a meaningful way.

Methods for evaluating learning and then shaping future teaching in response to that data.

2024-08-08 22:54:30 UTC

Linked to learning targets (backward design!)

In a reading assessment, student retells the story in their own words.

Non Example

2024-08-09 17:42:53 UTC

Assessments do not match the learning targets.

2024-08-09 22:14:25 UTC

Assessment is how both students and educators learn and adapt to their lessons. Students learn through feedback given by assessments, and educators adapt by taking the information received through assessments and adjusting their lessons to fit student needs.

2024-08-09 22:14:48 UTC

A good assessment should be equitable for every student taking it.

2024-08-09 22:15:11 UTC

An online quiz that can be taken as many times needed to get every answer correct

2024-08-09 22:15:21 UTC

Asking students to think about a problem without asking them to answer it

Assessment Definition

2024-08-09 22:55:16 UTC

Formative assessment is a way inform future instruction while summative assessment is a way to figure out what students have learned after learning is "finished". Both forms of assessment give the teacher a better idea of what their students know, think, and are struggling with.

Characteristics of Assessment

2024-08-09 22:57:05 UTC

Assessments should be:

Clearly worded

Related back to CCSS or learning targets

Accurately measure knowledge

Reflective of what has been/will be taught

Assessment Example

2024-08-09 22:57:37 UTC

Fist to 5

Assessment Non-Example

2024-08-09 22:58:40 UTC

Silent reading time (without questions to answer, journaling, etc.)

Assessment definition

2024-08-10 01:16:09 UTC

An essential element of teaching, wherein educators analyze data to glean what students are learning, and how well they're learning it.

Some essential characteristics

2024-08-10 01:19:48 UTC

Assessments must be aligned with the learning target, clearly understandable for students, and backwards designed from the standard.

Example

2024-08-10 01:21:07 UTC

True and false cards for students to hold up to show understanding. This can be done as a pre, mid, or post assessment.

Non Example

2024-08-10 01:23:58 UTC

A student survey asking about student 'favorites' (ex. favorite foods, activities, movies etc.)

Assessment Definition:

2024-08-10 01:53:27 UTC

Assessments are the methods/tools used to teach, evaluate, measure and document skills, knowledge or abilities and track academic progress of students.

A good assessment:

2024-08-10 02:26:23 UTC

A good assessment always aligns with learning targets or objectives being taught. This way assessment accurately measures whether students have achieved the intended learning outcomes.

An example:

2024-08-10 02:39:35 UTC

One example of a good assessment is a quiz (formative assessment – selected response). Quizzes can be conducted quickly, aligned to specific learning targets, can be very specific, provide specific and quick feedback on the understanding of the students and allow teachers to understand which part to focus more on.

A non-example:

2024-08-10 02:52:32 UTC

A non-example would be a daily mood meter check in as there is no skill or academic evaluation. It's just a visual check to indicate current mood of students.

Assesment Definition

2024-08-10 03:04:23 UTC

Assessment is the continous proccess of evaluating, measuring, and documenting academic progress of students.

Essential Characteristic

2024-08-10 03:05:57 UTC

Fairness is an essnential characteristic that assesment needs to consider while being created.

Examples

2024-08-10 03:07:13 UTC

An exit ticket would be a good example using an opened end question to guage students thoughts would be a good assessment.

Non Examples

2024-08-10 03:08:36 UTC

Pop quizzes which are unreliable and potentially not fair for students would be a bad example.

2024-08-10 03:40:29 UTC

It is an evaluation process to acquire evidence of the student’s level of learning in a lesson.

Assessment Definition

2024-08-10 03:42:07 UTC

Can be described as testing students understanding of a particular topic or subject.

2024-08-10 03:42:19 UTC

Measuring what percentage of the lesson has been learned, and what still needs to be learned.

2024-08-10 03:43:30 UTC

An example may be that after a lesson on climates, you can ask. Can you name and describe a climate that we saw in the lesson?

Characteristics

2024-08-10 03:44:17 UTC

A characteristic of assessment should include learning targets that outline what should be learned at this point.

Example

2024-08-10 03:44:34 UTC

One example could be a whole group discussion.

2024-08-10 03:44:34 UTC

Do an activity that is not related to the lesson.

Non-Example

2024-08-10 03:46:12 UTC

Using non-subject terms in a lesson then giving a quiz about it.

Definition

2024-08-10 03:54:46 UTC

Systematic method to check what a student has learned or where they are at in their learning

Characteristics

2024-08-10 03:56:23 UTC

Should be valid, fair and reliable

Example

2024-08-10 03:57:59 UTC

"Survey says...!" or a questionnaire or checklist as a formative assessment...along the way to check the path of learning

A Non-(sense) example

2024-08-10 04:01:15 UTC

Using height to rank students math skills (and because girls are taller than boys in grade school, girls would generally be better at math than boys in elementary grades). :-)

Assessment is...

2024-08-10 15:01:29 UTC

a set of tools that help teachers identify what students know, and what they are still learning.

An essential characteristic...

2024-08-10 15:02:38 UTC

is alignment to a goal. Assessment should always be looking for specific data to use as evidence of knowledge.

AN example of assessment...

2024-08-10 15:03:43 UTC

a class discussion where students ask each other open ended questions about an article they read.

A non example is...

2024-08-10 15:05:45 UTC

a get to know you game with new students.

Assessment

2024-08-10 16:14:10 UTC

Assessments are evaluations to gauge where students are at in their learning and to measure if they are meeting their learning targets. Assessments guide teachers in delivery methods and adjustment of learning targets.

Characteristics

2024-08-10 16:18:12 UTC

Some characteristics of a good assessment is equity, valid, and clear. Providing equal and unbiased opportunities for all students to show the skills they have attained. Validity allows accuracy in measurement. Assessments should be clear and concise so that measurement is targeting the actual goal.

Example

2024-08-10 16:18:41 UTC

A good example of an assessment is playing a game like Kahoot where it’s fun and engaging for the students and can give the teacher information about individual students and group status for how effective the lesson(s) or unit is going.

Non-Example

2024-08-10 16:19:01 UTC

A non-example of an assessment is relying on attendance. Just because someone is present does not mean they are gleaning the information appropriately.

Assessment Definition

2024-08-10 20:39:30 UTC

The process of investigating what has been learned from specific content.

Assessment characteristics

2024-08-10 20:41:52 UTC

A good assessment aligns with the learning target and is reliable at providing results.

Examples of assessment

2024-08-10 20:42:48 UTC

Creating 3D shapes with marshmallows and raw noodles to test student knowledge on the different 3D shapes and their structures.

Non-Example of Assessment

2024-08-10 20:44:17 UTC

"Raise your hand if you understand"

2024-08-10 22:25:50 UTC

Assessment is checking how well students are learning and understanding what they’re taught. It helps teachers see what students know and where they might need more help.

2024-08-10 22:26:28 UTC

A good assessment is clear, meaning it’s easy for students to understand and for teachers to check.

2024-08-10 22:26:55 UTC

Character masks are another fun assessment idea. Have students create masks of characters from a story and then “become” those characters to answer questions or explain key events. This activity lets students show their understanding creatively and interactively.

2024-08-10 22:27:17 UTC

A lecture without any interactive elements or feedback opportunities is another non-example of assessment. It doesn’t actively check or gauge students' understanding or provide opportunities for students to demonstrate what they’ve learned.

Defining Assessment

2024-08-10 22:59:10 UTC

Time and intention given to checking the effectiveness of various teaching methods in a specific environment and group of students.

Essential Characteristics

2024-08-10 23:01:09 UTC

Investigative - getting curious about the information being provided

Validating - confirming correct information and redirecting incorrect information

Curating - collecting data to reinforce or redirect instruction

Interdependent - teaching and learning must be evaluated together.

Example:

2024-08-10 23:01:45 UTC

Multiple Choice Exam

Daily Reading Journal

Informal check-in

Non-Example

2024-08-10 23:03:34 UTC

Telling a student they're stupid or will never grasp the concept.

Taking a nap during class

Definition of assessment

2024-08-11 01:35:21 UTC

It is a strategy to gauge student understanding regarding a topic and it equips teachers to identify the knowledge gaps

A characteristic of a good assessment

2024-08-11 01:46:58 UTC

Good assessments help teachers identify students' strengths and knowledge gaps that require more attention.

Good assessment: Example

2024-08-11 01:54:51 UTC

Exit ticket is a formative assessment that helps teachers to identify the knowledge gained by a student pertaining to a topic and the areas that need more attention. It helps in understanding how far students have comprehended the lesson and also in identifying the knowledge gaps.

Non example

2024-08-11 02:02:02 UTC

An assessment with vague instructions might confuse students and can be considered as a bad one. Students will struggle to understand the factors that lead to a successful submission and this will lead to frustration and anxiety.

My assessment definition...

2024-08-11 07:52:18 UTC

An assessment is a way to test students’ level of learning and/or understanding of a given topic. It can also help measure, and determine, how much knowledge a person has retained after a given amount of studying. There are various kinds of assessments. An assessment type I am use to seeing, and have experience in doing the most of are in the multiple choice format.

Essential Characteristic

2024-08-11 07:53:24 UTC

Student Engagement

Assessment Examples

2024-08-11 08:00:47 UTC

My favorite example of a good assessment is performance.

(Example of demonstrations (skill targets); Playing in instrument.

A non example

Diaries

Assessment is a process in which a teacher measures the understanding/learning of their students on a certain activity/learning target.

2024-08-11 14:21:52 UTC

Characteristics

2024-08-11 14:25:33 UTC

a test should accurately assess a certain skill/learning.
free from bias/equal opportunity for all students to showcase their abilities.

Example

2024-08-11 14:27:34 UTC

One of my favorite ways is to do exit tickets at the end of class. This will give the teacher immediate feedback on what the student knows or doesn't know from that same class.

non-example

2024-08-11 14:30:42 UTC

When learning something in particular about math, you can't end class with a "fun game math" to end the class. If it doesn't tie to the lesson that was taught that day, it won't help or assess anything.

Assessment Definition

2024-08-11 15:16:28 UTC

Assessment is gathering information of understanding a student's knowledge, skills, and abilities through various methods such as tests, assignments, observations, and feedback. It aims to inform instruction, support learning, and assign grades.

One characteristic of good assessment

2024-08-11 16:34:07 UTC

One characteristic of good assessment is clarity. A good assessment clearly defines the standard, learning target, and assessment type. This ensures that students understand what the target is and can focus on demonstrating their knowledge and skills effectively.

One example of good assessment

2024-08-11 17:05:19 UTC

3-minute pause (formative)

It provides a chance for students to stop, reflect on the concept and ideas that have just been introduced, make connections to prior knowledge or experience, and seek clarification.

· I change my attitude about …

· I became more aware of …

· I was surprised about …

· I felt …

· I related to …

· I emphasized with …

A non-example

2024-08-11 17:46:31 UTC

Topic: Solving Quadratic Equations

In an algebra class, the instructor initiates a discussion thread about solving quadratic equations. However, there are no specific guidelines or objectives provided. Students start posting various approaches, questions, and insights related to quadratic equations. Here’s how the discussion unfolds:

Student A: “Hey everyone! I’m stuck on this quadratic equation:

2x^2−5x+3=0

. Any ideas?”

Student B: “I’d use the quadratic formula. Let’s plug in the coefficients!”
Student C: “Wait, can we use cross method instead of the quadratic formula?”
Student D: “Sure! Factoring is another valid method. Let’s try it.”

As you can see, this discussion lacks a clear target or grading criteria. Students freely share ideas, and explore different solution methods. While it promotes interaction, it is not an assessment.

2024-08-11 19:36:05 UTC

Assessments-by definition

2024-08-12 06:44:52 UTC

An assessment is how a teacher can identify what a student has learned and if they can apply it in a variety of ways.

Essential Characteristic

2024-08-12 06:47:34 UTC

Some of the essential characteristics of an assessment is that it can directly measure the amount of learning that occurred by following the verbs used in the learning targets.

Example

2024-08-12 06:48:48 UTC

An example is to ask the students to use what they learned and apply it in a different way or even create something that shows they can apply what they learned. The most effective thing they can do is to teach what they learned correctly to someone else.

Non Example of Assessment

2024-08-12 06:49:46 UTC

A non example is a an assignment that does not relate to the learning target and an assessment that has nothing to do with the standard.

A way to document proof of knowledge and skill that help to improve student learning.

Essential Characteristics

2024-08-13 23:13:22 UTC

Consistency and accurate measuring of student learning are good essential characteristics of assessment. This allows for stable results and will show progress over a period of time.

Examples

2024-08-13 23:15:53 UTC

To help students learn in real time I think formative assessment are the best. Using concept checks and/or short quizzes help teachers to meet student needs.

Non-Examples

2024-08-13 23:19:19 UTC

Giving feedback on behavior is not the way to assess learning. Although behavior is valuable to a teacher it holds no weight with academic assessment, meaning it does not correlate with curriculum or measure a students knowledge.
