Assessment of
Learning

2
What is Assessment?
Classroom assessment is an integral part of science instruction.

Assessment is the “systematic process of


gathering information about what a student
knows, is able to do, and is learning to do” (Manitoba
Education and Training, Reporting on Student Progress and Achievement, 1997).

3
ASSESSMENT and
EVALUATION – What
is the Difference?

4
Evaluation: uses methods and measures to judge
student learning and understanding of the material
for purposes of grading and reporting.

Evaluation is feedback from the instructor to the


student about the student’s learning.

5
Assessment: is classroom research to provide
useful feedback for the improvement of teaching and
learning.

Assessment is feedback from the student to the


instructor about the student’s learning.

What is the purpose of Formative
Assessment?

Formative assessment is based on data collected before an instructional


sequence is completed.

Its purpose is to improve instruction and learning by:

➢ providing information about students’ progress in accomplishing


prescribed learning outcomes

➢ evaluating the effectiveness of instructional programming content,


methods, sequence, and pace
12
Formative assessment examples:

•Impromptu quizzes or anonymous voting

•Short comparative assessments: to see how students are performing


against their peers

•One-minute papers on a specific subject matter

•Lesson exit tickets: to summarise what student have learnt

•Silent classroom polls

•Ask students to create a visualisation or doodle map of what they learnt


13
Why is formative assessment important for learning?

Formative assessment is a flexible and informal way of assessing a pupil’s progress and their
understanding of a certain subject matter. It may be recorded in a variety of ways, or may not be
recorded at all, except perhaps in lesson planning to address the next steps.

Formative assessment helps students identify their strengths and weaknesses and target
areas that need work.

It also helps educators and governors recognise where students are struggling and
address problems immediately.

At a school level - school leaders use this information to identify areas of strength and
weakness across the institution, and to develop strategies for improvement.

As the learning journey progresses, further formative assessments indicate whether teaching
plans need to be revised to reinforce or extend learning.
14
What is the purpose Summative
Assessment?
Summative assessment (evaluation) is based on an interpretation of the
assessment information collected.

It helps determine the extent of each student’s achievement of prescribed


learning outcomes.

Evaluation should be based on a variety of assessment information.

Its purpose is to:

➢ measure student achievement


➢ report to parents, students, and stakeholders
➢ measure the effectiveness of instructional programming 15
Summative assessment examples:

➢ End-of-term or midterm exams

➢ Cumulative work over an extended period such as a final


project or creative portfolio

➢ End-of-unit or chapter tests

➢ Standardised tests that demonstrate school


accountability are used for pupil admissions; PT3, SPM,
A-Levels, etc.
16
Why is summative assessment important for learning?

In the current education system, standard-driven instruction plays a significant role.

Summative assessment, therefore, provides an essential benchmark to check the


progress of students, institutions and the educational program of the country as a
whole.

Summative assessment contributes largely towards improving the curriculum and


overall curriculum planning.

When summative assessment data indicates gaps across the board between student
knowledge and learning targets, schools may turn to improved curriculum planning and
new learning criteria to assess and improve their school attainment levels.
