2. Assessment in curriculum is a crucial aspect of
education, serving as a systematic process for
evaluating student learning and informing
instructional decisions. It involves a wide range of
methods and tools used to measure, document,
and interpret student progress, skill acquisition,
and educational needs.
What is Assessment in
Curriculum
3. ASSESSMENT SHOULD BE
RESPONSIVE
Visible performance based work generates data that
can inform curriculum and instruction.
Assessments are developed keeping incorporating
best practices in feedback and formative assessment.
Feedback is to be targeted to the goal and outcome.
4. ASSESSMENT SHOULD BE
FLEXIBLE
Lesson design, curriculum and assessment require
flexibility.
Assessment needs to be adaptable to students
and settings.
Students decisions, actions, applications vary,
thus making assessment flexible too.
5. ASSESSMENT SHOULD BE
INTEGRATED
Assessment needs to be incorporated on a day to
day basis, rather than a once a year activity.
Assessments are informed by awareness of meta
cognition. Students consider their choices, identify
alternative strategies and represent knowledge
through different means.
6. ASSESSMENT SHOULD BE
INFORMATIVE
The desired 21st
Century goals and objectives
should be clearly stated and explicitly taught.
Learning objectives, Instructional strategies
and assessment methods should be clearly
aligned.
Students build on prior learning in a logical
sequence.
7. ASSESSMENT SHOULD BE
USING MULTIPLE METHODS.
Assessment should include a spectrum of
strategies.
Students should be able to demonstrate
knowledge and skills through relevant tasks,
projects and performances.
Authentic performance based assessment
should be emphasized.
8. ASSESSMENT SHOULD BE
TECHNICALLY SOUND.
It should be precise and technically sound, so that
use are consistent with their administration and
interpretation.
It should measure stated objectives and 21st
century
skills with legitimacy and integrity.
Assessment should be fair to all.
11. Formative Assessment
Is a planned process in which teachers
or students use assessment-based
evidence to adjust what theyre doing
(Popham, 2008)
12. What Is FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT
Assessments at the beginning or during instruction
The main purpose is to improve instruction and student
learning
Monitor learning progress during instruction
Instructional correctives should be delivered differently
with how the lesson was previously delivered (Black &
William, 2009)
Formative assessment is assessment FOR learning; as its
focus on future achievements.
13. What makes formative assessment
formative is that it is immediately used to
make adjustments to help students learn
the lessons better.
Refers to what happens on a daily basis in
the classroom
This type of assessment is NOT about
Accountability it is about getting better!!
14. It monitors progress
Provides frequent feedback
Assessments happens while learning
is still underway
15. Advantages of FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT
FOR TEACHERS
Helps identify students who are struggling with
particular tasks or misconceptions
Help teacher in decision making and improved
instruction
Promotes student motivation and self-
awareness
16. ADVANTAGES OF FORMATIVE
ASSESSMENT FOR STUDENTS
Provide feedback to students so they can
improve their performance and increased their
confidence
Encourages students to engage in more complex
thinking and problem solving.
Develop an ability to assess their own work and
peers
18. Summative Assessment
Summative assessment focus on what the student has
learned at the end of a unit of instruction or at the end
of a grade level (e.g. standard one, National Test)
( Johnson & Jenkins, 2009).
Summative assessment purpose is to let the teachers
and students know the level of accomplishment
attained. The final exam is classic example (Woolfolk et
al 2008).
19. A summative assessment is designed to
make judgments about student
achievement
It determines the extent to which
objectives of instruction have been
attained and used for assigning grades
and provide feedback to students
20. Summative Assessments measures
how much our students have learned
up to a particular point in time
It is conducted at the end of the
course or
21. Necessary for determining student grades and
Placement
Promote teacher and student accountability
Encourages student activity engagement with
course material
Objective measure of performance
Freedom from active participation in discussion
Advantages of Summative
Assessment
22. Disadvantages of Summative
Assessment
Tendency for over-reliance on summative measures
May promote cheating due to high level nature of
assessment
Has been faulted for promoting learning for the test
Do not provide information for correcting errors
May promote cheating due to high stakes nature of
assessment
Has been criticized for promoting teaching to the test
#9: Assessment in curriculum goes beyond traditional tests and encompasses a diverse array of approaches, including: Formative assessment and summative assessment
#10: Systematic process to continuously gather evidence and provide feedback about learning while instruction is Under Way (Heritage, Kim, Vendlinski, & Herman, 2009)
#14: This assessment should be taken over time as students show readiness and mastery of content. Test scores would show growth rather than merely comparison to others.
