Edu 535 Script

Developmental assessment focuses on evaluating the extent to which students have developed competencies as a result of instruction, rather than solely on final products or outcomes. It uses a pre-test and post-test methodology to measure any improvements after instruction and compares student performance at different time points or contexts to assess progress. Developmental assessment provides a richer understanding of student learning by taking a continuous and contextual approach.

SCRIPT

1) Developmental assessment on the other hand, focuses on determining the extent that students
have developed their competencies from instruction.

2) This model adopts a pre-test and post-test methodology to collect information if a student has
developed or improved after instruction.

3) It involves a comparison of what students can do at different time points and or different contexts
to assess if there is progress.

4) Developmental Assessment is said to be useful for assessing learning outcomes based on students’
development rather than a final product.

5) .Developmental assessment is ongoing and may occur in many contexts, giving you a richer view of
students’ learning

6) Developmental assessment gives you the ability to focus on strengths and unique aspects of your
program.
7) This assessment is based on relevant principles of development in your discipline

1) Focus on Determining Competencies: Developmental assessment is concerned with evaluating the


extent to which students have developed their competencies or skills as a result of instruction.
Instead of solely looking at the final product or outcome, it emphasizes the journey of development.

2) Pre-test and Post-test Methodology: This model involves conducting assessments before and after
a period of instruction. The pre-test provides a baseline, and the post-test assesses the impact of
instruction by measuring any development or improvement in students' competencies.

3) Comparison of Different Time Points or Contexts: Developmental assessment includes a


comparison of what students can do at different times or in different contexts. This comparison helps
determine if there has been progress or development in their skills over time or in various situations.

4) Assessing Learning Outcomes Based on Development: Unlike traditional assessments that may
focus on a final product, developmental assessment is particularly useful for evaluating learning
outcomes based on the students' developmental journey. It looks at the growth and improvement in
their skills over time.

5) Ongoing and Contextual: Developmental assessment is not a one-time event. It is an ongoing


process that can occur in various contexts. This continuous evaluation provides a more
comprehensive and dynamic view of students' learning, capturing changes and progress over time.

6) Focus on Strengths and Unique Aspects: Developmental assessment provides the opportunity to
focus on the strengths and unique aspects of a program. By understanding how students develop
their competencies, educators can identify and leverage the positive aspects of the instructional
approach or curriculum.

.7) Based on Relevant Principles of Development in Your Discipline: .The assessment is not arbitrary;
rather, it is intentionally designed to resonate with the principles and theories that govern the
developmental processes within the given academic discipline. This alignment enhances the validity
and relevance of the assessment, making it a more effective tool for gauging students' progress and
growth in that particular field.
In summary, developmental assessment is a dynamic and continuous process that looks beyond final
outcomes, emphasizing the growth and development of students' competencies over time, and
providing insights into the strengths of educational programs.
