3types of Assessment

WHAT IS ASSESSMENT

o The word ‘assess’ comes from the
Latin verb ‘assidere’ meaning ‘to sit
with’.

• In assessment one is supposed to sit
with the learner. This implies it is
something we do ‘with’ and ‘for’ students
and not ‘to’ students (Green, 1999).

oAssessment can focus on
the individual learner, the
learning community
(class, workshop, or other
organized group of
learners), the institution,
or the educational system.

oAssessment is the process of
documenting, usually in
measurable terms,
knowledge, skill, attitudes,
and beliefs.

o Assessment in education is the process of
gathering, interpreting, recording, and
using information about pupils’ responses
to an educational task. (Harlen, Gipps,
Broadfoot, Nuttal,1992)

Assessment for learning

o Assessment for learning is ongoing, diagnostic, and formative.
o Assessment for learning is designed to give teachers information to

modify and differentiate teaching and learning activities.
o It acknowledges that individual students learn in idiosyncratic ways,

but it also recognizes that there are predictable patterns and
pathways that many students follow.
o It requires careful design on the part of teachers so that they use the
resulting information not only to determine what students know, but
also to gain insights into how, when, and whether students apply
what they know.
o Teachers can also use this information to streamline and target
instruction and resources, and to provide feedback to students to
help them advance their learning
o diagnostic and formative

Assessment as learning

o Assessment as learning is a process of developing and
supporting metacognition for students.

o …focuses on the role of the student as the critical connector
between assessment and learning. When students are active,
engaged, and critical assessors, they make sense of
information, relate it to prior knowledge, and use it for new
learning. This is the regulatory process in metacognition.

o It occurs when students monitor their own learning and use
the feedback from this monitoring to make adjustments,
adaptations, and even major changes in what they
understand.

o It requires that teachers help students develop, practise, and
become comfortable with reflection, and with a critical
analysis of their own learning

Assessment of learning

o Assessment of learning is summative in nature
and is used to confirm what students know and
can do, to demonstrate whether they have
achieved the curriculum outcomes, and,
occasionally, to show how they are placed in
relation to others.

o Teachers concentrate on ensuring that they have
used assessment to provide accurate and sound
statements of students’ proficiency, so that the
recipients of the information can use the
information to make reasonable and defensible
decisions
