Assessment of Learning Flashcards
- an instrument designed to measure any characteristic, quality, ability, knowledge or skill — composed of items
TEST
- a process of quantifying the degree of the quality, characteristics or feature — assigning numbers to a performance to a performance or skill
- awarding points
Measurement
It refers to the instrument (set of questions or tasks) that is designed to elicit a predetermined behavior or a product from a student
Assessment
- collection, interpretation, and use of qualitative and quantitative information to assist teachers in their educational decision-making — pre-requisite to evaluation
Assessment as a Process
A process of making judgments about the quality of a performance — pass or fail
Evaluation
Purposes of Assessment
- Assessment FOR learning
- Assessment OF learning
- Assessment AS learning
Includes 3 Types of assessment done Before and during instruction
- placement
- diagnostic
- formative
Assessment FOR Learning (ensure)
This is done after instruction. (Grading/Certifying)
- summative
Assessment OF Learning
Associated with self-assessment
- use of scoring rubrics
- reflection paper and journal
Assessment AS Learning
Place students in specific learning groups — done prior to or before instruction
Placement
Done during instruction to ensure learning — monitor students learning
- help students identify their strength and weaknesses
Formative
- done before instruction
- used to determine students recurring or persistent difficulties
Diagnostic
- done after instruction
- bases for grass and report
Summative Assessment
- students assess their own work — use of scoring rubrics
- self-directed and independent learners
Assessment AS Learning
- paper and pencil tests
- decontextualized (not realistic)
Traditional Assessment
- performance
- contextualize (real-life tasks)
Authentic Assessment
- systematic and organized collection of students work
- purposeful collection of the students progress and achievement
Portfolio Assessment
Documents — result of academic classroom work
ex. Students paper and homework
Artifacts
Students work outside the classroom
ex. Special project like Capstone
Reproductions
Teachers documentation to attest to the student’s progress
ex. Teacher’s evaluative notes about students oral defense
Attestations
Student himself/herself prepares
Production
Analytic - specific
Holistic - general
True
Restricted Essay
Has definite answer
Extended Essay
Open-ended — no single specific answer
- Measures what it intends to measure
- usefulness of the instrument
- most important criterion
Validity
Examining the physical appearance of the instrument
Face Validity
Careful and critical examination of the objectives of assessment
Content Validity
A set of scores revealed by the measuring instrument is correlated with the scores obtained in another External predictor or measure
Criterion-related Validity
Correlating the set of scores obtained from two measures given concurrently
Concurrent Validity
Future performance of an individual by correlating the sets of scores obtained form TWO MEASURES GIVEN AT A LONGER TIME INTERVAL
Predictive Validity
A valid test is always a reliable test, but a reliable test is not always a valid test.
True
It refers to the consistency of scores obtained by the same person
Reliability
The process of examining the students response to each item in the test
Item Analysis
Formula of Difficulty Index
DI = Correct Students
÷
All Students
DI - 0 to 0.25 — Difficult — Revise or discard
True
DI - 0.26 to 0.75 — Right Difficulty — Retain
True
DI - 0.76 and above — Easy — Revise or Discard
True
The difference between the proportion of HIGH performing students (got the item right) and the proportion of LOW performing students.
Discrimination Index
