    Assessment of learning : Assessment of learning summarises what students know, understand and can do at specific points in time.
    Assessment as learning : Assessment as learning positions students as actively involved in assessing their own learning through the support and development of their metacognitive skills.

  • An Ipsative assessment in an education/learning context compares a test-taker’s results against his or her previous results. This is how I measure myself at the gym – I am pleased that I am doing better than I have before. I’m not worried if this meets some external criteria or if I’m better or worse than other people.

A single item corresponds to a particular aim, and there’s no ambiguity about what you’re being tested on. This also makes the test reliable.

    TOPIC EXPERTISE: Criterion-referenced evaluation helps students do well in academics by tracking their progress.. You can customize test items to meet specific requirements. You can assess the student’s knowledge and understanding of the issue using a criterion-referenced test.

    · Ipsative feedback helps learners to develop by highlighting where there is more work to do. Ipsative feedback can also help high performing students to achieve even more.

    · Ipsative assessment helps learners self-assess and become more self-reliant.

    · Some students are more likely to act on ipsative feedback than highly critical feedback. 

    · A focus on learner progress will distinguish between poorly performing students who are progressing, albeit slowly, and those who are not progressing and who are therefore unsuitable for the course.

The biggest problem is that assessors need to have access to records of a learner’s past assessments to make comparisons and these are not always available, although electronic records can help. 

    2. It also means that assessments of different modules in a modular scheme may need to be linked and this may be 
    difficult if the modules have very different learning outcomes. 

    3. Finally, ipsative assessment requires a different way of thinking about assessment and this may take time for teachers and students to get used to.

    It is considered an assessment for learning.

    The assessment provides information to teachers about areas students are struggling with so that they then can differentiate instruction or provide the relevant support in future lessons.

    Why:
    This type of assessment is useful because students are asked to prepare a unique response to one or more prompts included in the assessment. This  helps educators see what students are actually able to do – not just what they may know. Well crafted performance assessments will help teachers gauge the levels of student understanding the prompts ]]>     2022-02-15 17:35:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jeenababu/g6a1w23n6j2ils2b/wish/2049142491     Examples of Performance Assessment https://padlet.com/jeenababu/g6a1w23n6j2ils2b/wish/2049171591 There are two major types of performance assessment: events and tasks. 
    1. Performance Event – limited time and opportunities
      a) on-demand performance assessment on which students are given little or no time to rehearse before performing or responding
    2. Performance Task – students have days, weeks, or months to prepare a response.
     a) written-response items, presentations, papers, student self-reflections, performances, portfolios , exhibitions]]>     2022-02-15 17:49:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jeenababu/g6a1w23n6j2ils2b/wish/2049171591     Advantages of Performance Assessment https://padlet.com/jeenababu/g6a1w23n6j2ils2b/wish/2049182771 1. Helps students to apply in-class learning to situations outside of the classroom. 
    2. Helps Teachers to  offers deeper insight into the learning needs of students.
     3.  Also helps  students to measure their own understanding and success. While completing a task or project, a student can see where they are struggling and then they can ask specific questions or work harder on enhancing their knowledge.

    1. Assessments  contain many parts
    2. It takes more time and effort to administer. 
    3. These assessments can take more time to score, since students are creating responses to the prompts.
    4. Requires more instructional time to administer the
    assessments, and more teacher time to score student responses.
