This document discusses different methods of assessment including objective tests, subjective tests, performance tests, oral reasoning, observation, and self-reports. It provides examples and purposes of each method. Objective tests have single correct answers and are used to evaluate factual knowledge. Subjective tests are evaluated through opinions, examples, or rubrics. Performance tests evaluate skills through activities. Oral reasoning and observation are used to assess critical thinking and behavior. Self-reports evaluate learning through student reflections. The key principle is that the assessment method should match the stated learning objectives.
The Principle of Appropriateness of Assessment
- 1. b. The Principle of Appropriateness of Assessment
- 2. Evaluation procedures and techniques should be selected in terms of the clearly stated objectives (Gronlund, 1991 )
- 3. The clearer the objectives are in teachers mind, the greater the chance of making a wise decision to choose appropriate assessment procedures and techniques in assessing students learning.
- 4. General formats of assessment Instruments 1. Objective test 2. Subjective test 3. Performance test 4. Oral Reasoning 5. Observation 6. Self Reports
- 5. Objective test are those that require one and only one correct answer and no other possible answers. Reganit, et al. (2004) is made up of items for which correct responses maybe set up in advance
- 6. Type of objective test item formats 1. Supply type 2. Matching type 3. Alternative-response type 4. Labeling 5. Enumeration 6. Multiple Choice
- 7. Subjective test are evaluated by giving an opinion about the issue, concept, ideas and the like. Example:rubrics Test reliability u s e
- 8. Performance test this test is used when the objective of the lesson requires that at the end of the lesson the students are required to perform in an activity. Determine whether students have acquired the necessary skills to do the tasks in the learning activity.
- 9. Oral Reasoning when the instructional objectives states that at the end the lesson, pupils orally defend their stand on the issue. Determine students critical thinking and other meta-cognitive processes and oral presentation
- 10. Observation Reed and Bergemann (2001) is one of effective means of learning...... how students respond to the learning environment. this can be done by teacher, co- students or even by parents.
- 11. Example: Observation checklist or Rating scales Determine students performance, behaviour, skills, values, and achievement. these are considered as non-test assessment instrument U s e
- 12. Self-Reports students may be required to write personal opinions, journals and reflections about the learning activity. evaluate whether or not these students have learned the concepts though in the classroom. u s e
- 13. it also contain personal account of students participation and involvement in the teaching and learning processes. the teachers practice this method, comply with the requirement that evaluation should allow students to evaluate themselves (ipsative assessment)
