It can be used to inform your teaching of the topic and also used to compare to a post-assessment on the same topic to measure growth. ]]> 2022-02-04 08:24:12 UTC https://padlet.com/alexanderwille2/y7d1p7iso952l75x/wish/2029054382 Examples of Diagnostic Assessments brianlau2 https://padlet.com/alexanderwille2/y7d1p7iso952l75x/wish/2029067818 ·        Surveys

 AFL involves teachers using evidence about students' knowledge, understanding, and skills to inform their teaching. It gives you a snapshot of student learning and understanding as you teach.
AFL 

  • reflects a view of learning in which assessment helps students learn better, rather than just achieve a better mark
  • involves formal and informal assessment activities as part of learning and to inform the planning of future learning
  • includes clear goals for the learning activity
  • provides effective feedback that motivates the learner and can lead to improvement
  • reflects a belief that all students can improve
  • encourages self-assessment and peer assessment as part of the regular classroom routines
  • involves teachers, students and parents reflecting on evidence
  • is inclusive of all learners.
AFL tests can be - Formative and Diagnostic

This process actively involves students in the learning process. Teaches critical thinking skills, problem-solving and encourages students to set achievable goals and measure their progress. Students are their own assessors. Students monitor their own learning, ask questions and use a range of strategies to decide what they know and can do, and how to use assessment information for new learning.
AAL includes
- Ipsative assessments
- Self-assessment
- Peer assessment

Performance tasks yield a tangible product and/or performance that serve as evidence of learning. 
Some of the most important characteristics of performance assessment are:
  • They call for the application of knowledge and skills;
  • They are open-ended and do not yield a single or correct answer;
  • They are performed in realistic conditions;
  • They provide evidence of understanding via student being creative using their skills;
  • They involve using multiple skills;
They are evaluated with criteria and rubrics.

  • A football game, where students demonstrate the different skills they have learned, and how effective they are in the game. A rubric criteria can assess the different skills shown by the student: dribbling the ball, passing the ball;
  • A software with a specific use, requiring several functionalities: a user interface, a database, etc... The rubric would have criteria for each functionalities;
  • A painting using a specific painting style (impressionism, pointillism, surrealism,...) and the rubric criteria evaluate the skills and techniques used by the students.

They typically make up only a small percentage of a student’s final grade or may not inform grading at all.

    They are used to help students and educators alike determine where student are thriving and where they are struggling, allowing educators to develop appropriate interventions. (In other words, they help educators “form” relevant teaching plans.)

    Examples of formative assessments can include quizzes, short quick writes, and exit tickets, among others.]]>     2022-02-07 00:45:03 UTC https://padlet.com/alexanderwille2/y7d1p7iso952l75x/wish/2031994647     Summative Assessment alexanderwille2 https://padlet.com/alexanderwille2/y7d1p7iso952l75x/wish/2031996202 Summative assessments formally and rigorously evaluate student progress against predetermined standards once learning has concluded (I.e., at the end of a unit, midterm, or semester). They typically have a heavy impact on student grades.

    They are used to determine whether students have achieved predetermined learning objectives. Instances where large numbers of students fall short can indicate overall weaknesses in curricula that warrant adjustment. (In other words, they help educators “sum up” what their students have or have not learned.)

    Examples of summative assessments can include unit and chapter tests, midterm and final exams, and standardized admission tests such as the SAT.]]>     2022-02-07 00:46:27 UTC https://padlet.com/alexanderwille2/y7d1p7iso952l75x/wish/2031996202     A Helpful Infographic alexanderwille2 https://padlet.com/alexanderwille2/y7d1p7iso952l75x/wish/2031999771 2022-02-07 00:49:30 UTC https://padlet.com/alexanderwille2/y7d1p7iso952l75x/wish/2031999771 References alexanderwille2 https://padlet.com/alexanderwille2/y7d1p7iso952l75x/wish/2032005334 The differences between formative and summative assessment - infographic.
