  • A task or activity that provides a basis to assess a student’s academic progress and comprehension of class material by measuring it against a universal standard or school benchmark. 
    • Summative assessments often have a high point value, take place under controlled conditions, and therefore have more visibility.

  • “In the current education system, standard-driven instruction plays a significant role. Summative assessment, therefore, provides an essential benchmark to check the progress of students, institutions and the educational program of the country as a whole.”
    • Summative assessment provide a very tangible demonstration of a student’s comprehension, which can make giving and justifying final grades easier
    • Some types of summative assessment, particularly standardized test can provide valuable information concerning the performance of different groups of students, be it a specific class, school, district, demographic, or country
      • Potentially illuminate patterns that teachers can use to identify strengths and weaknesses in their own lesson planning
        • Here they would be looking at their class as a whole
      • Identify students who potentially need extra support, or a different means of demonstrating their comprehension of the material
      • Illuminate patterns that principles, superintendents, and other administrative figures to create more broad based to solutions to widespread problems affecting student learning

    • Potentially helps students develop constructive behavioral skills as well as improve their individual approach to learning
      • Improve study habits to become more efficient
      • Develop greater self awareness about their own mind and process of learning
      • Illuminate the student’s strengths thus providing some means of boosting their self-esteem

  • Make sure it’s not difficult for students to see how the substance of the  formative assessments is connected to any summative task they are expecting in the future
    • Examples: essay plan, a structure of a literature review, part of the essay or bibliography.
  • Gamification or competitive activities
  • Allowing participation points on formative assessments to provide a counter balance for any students who struggle to perform well on the summative assessments

  • These assessments are also often given at the end of the year to evaluate how well a student has achieved the objectives of the course.

They may also involve starting or completing a process.

    Assements should be: authentic;  copmlex; product and/or process orientated; open-ended and time bound

    The best performanced based assesments should closely resemble real life conditions as close as possible.

    There is no single correct answer, rather different types of creative solutions or products.]]>     2021-06-01 12:14:41 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholaswaldman/mxmi0vxd6l9d9w9d/wish/1576006319     Examples of PBA craigstewart4 https://padlet.com/nicholaswaldman/mxmi0vxd6l9d9w9d/wish/1576033718

    Why move away from only used standardised testing?

This is a summative assessment and is often presented in periodic time frame. The student's performance is usually measured through comparison of the class average or norms. It is a good way for the teachers and parents to learn the student's academic intelligence compared to same-age students and it gives a single score which can easily be compared with student's prior scores as well.

    Examples) Benchmarking assessment every year, level tests, or standard evaluation. ]]>     2021-06-01 12:49:11 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholaswaldman/mxmi0vxd6l9d9w9d/wish/1576094600     Assessment for Learning jaeheemoon https://padlet.com/nicholaswaldman/mxmi0vxd6l9d9w9d/wish/1576111695 This is a type of assessment that is routinely or daily conducted so that the instructor can know how well the current education style and intervention are working for the student's learning. Teaching and assessing are integrated as a whole instead of looked as two different subjects. This is a formative assessment and the pro of this type of assessment is that teachers can provide timely feedback to the students so that they can quickly adjust and improve.
