E.g. NAPLAN.

Benefits:
  • Guidance for teachers
    • Standardised assessments help teachers to organise the things that they teach and when they should teach them
  • Measures ability
    • It allows certain area levels to be compared on a nation wide level. This is very helpful for many reasons, it helps to exemplify just how far ahead you are from the rest
  • Sets a standard
    • Knowing where your level is compared to others is helpful as it can motivate students to try harder. This also provides the school/teacher with what areas their students are lacking in and where more focus should be placed in the classroom

This ultimately means that the curriculum provides the basis that the teacher needs to teach, that the students need to learn. This in turn helps base the assessments that the teach will create.The assessments help the teacher provide a benchmark for where their students are at throughout the year. Teachers link back to the Australian Curriculum to confirm that their students are learning the correct content and helping with their teaching/learning capabilities.]]> 2017-04-12 05:11:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sashajessop/ewccz9roj0si/wish/166016860 Assessment Audiences https://padlet.com/sashajessop/ewccz9roj0si/wish/166016870 Is assessment undertaken for different audiences? If so, who is this audience and why do they require this information?
- Assessment for higher and lower streamed students would vary 
- Other staff (stage directors, collaborating teachers) - Provide an insight of where a student is at before the end stage.  
- Formalised assessments for parents 
- Standardised Testing to compare with the nation - useful for debating if sociocultural factors, SES, access to resources influences student learning 

Evidence Based Assessment - Audience is parents and teachers. Closed ended questions. Provides proof that the students are achieving the expected standards of learning. 
Subjective Based Assessments - Audience for students. Open ended questions. Allow students to utilise their understanding, knowledge and skills rather than just identifying an answer. ]]> 2017-04-12 05:12:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sashajessop/ewccz9roj0si/wish/166016870 Assessment Reliability - Group 4 https://padlet.com/sashajessop/ewccz9roj0si/wish/166016925 What is assessment reliability? Must be free of bias and distortion. 
Reliable assessment will yield consistent results regardless of whom it is marked by or when it is marked.
Assessment must be fair for all learners being assessed.
Both validity (accuracy) and reliability (consistency) are about 'degrees' within an assessment process.

For example, formal records can be yearly reports to assess students success.

Anecdotal records are notes, work samples, observations. They are kept to inform decisions about teaching and learning. Anecdotal records are for teacher records only and are fairly subjective and informal.]]> 2017-04-12 07:11:01 UTC https://padlet.com/sashajessop/ewccz9roj0si/wish/166025726 Assessment Reliability https://padlet.com/sashajessop/ewccz9roj0si/wish/166247395 An assessment that has consistent similarities in results across different contexts. The assessment will have a higher reliability if the students completes it at a different time and place and it is marked by a different teacher. If the assessment is not reliable , it id deemed problematic (Church Hill et al, 2015).

Many aspects of assessment are increasingly important as assessments are usually designed around national standards and teaching points, which in most cases are derived from the curriculum.
Due to this assessment is considered to be the basis of classroom leaning. As both formal and ongoing assessment assists educators in selecting appropriate pedagogical approaches in order to successfully teach curriculum criteria.

The curriculum integrates assessment and prioritises assessment as an explicit representation of how students understand and absorb learning intentions and content. 
Assessment provides feedback on how the students are coping with content, it allows for the teacher to modify or change the content or activities to improve the overall learning of their students. This will allow for teachers to set learning goals that their students will be able to achieve, meaning optimal success. Assessment is an ongoing process that allows for communication between teachers and students. 
 Assessment Curriculum and Pedagogy, if even one of these is missing it will diminish the value of the process to the learner.  All three are all linked, pedagogical principles that a teacher decides to teach play a significant role when assessment occurs in the classroom. Pedagogy focuses on the teacher-learner relationship. Both teacher and student should be able to discuss their feelings on the assessment and the teaching, the teacher cannot be the only one to judge the student. Therefore, in this relationship feedback is a critical move as it will allow for the learner and the teacher to improve their overall performance. 
 Assessment is an important aspect of education, it allows for the teacher to receive feedback on a learner’s knowledge, understanding, beliefs, attitudes, interests and needs overtime. This is critical information as it gives educators a specific guideline on what to teach this student and how it is to be taught.

There are some benfits of this sort of testing. The first main benfit is that the students are able to see where they rank within a particular group. An example would be the HSC, it is a stanrdised test that all students in NSW participate in and they receive a ranking. 

This sort of assessment also allows all students to be tested equally. This is because each student does the same assessment and has received the same learning from the curriculum.

This causes incompetent students to move forward and it challenges them to a point where they lose hope and interest.
