The differences between test and assessment:

Test and assessment are used interchangeably, but they do mean something
different. A test is a “product” that measures a particular behavior or set of
objectives. Meanwhile assessment is seen as a procedure instead of a product.
Assessment is used during and after the instruction has taken place. After
you’ve received the results of your assessment, you can interpret the results
and in case needed alter the instruction. Tests are done after the instruction
has taken place, it’s a way to complete the instruction and get the results. The
results of the tests don’t have to be interpreted, unlike assessment.

Purpose of Assessment:
Assessment has three purposes. It is designed to:

1. Support and enhance learning,


2. It provides certification for advancement, and
3. It can be a form of accountability (quality assurance) for stakeholders.

Either formative or summative assessment methods are used to support these purposes.

Formative assessment is ongoing, providing both teachers and students with information about current
progress in order to support future learning.

Summative assessment provides information about the level of a student’s performance at certain points in
the learning process, usually at the end of a course of study.

Another technical term of relevance to this work is high-stakes assessment.

High-stakes assessment is where the result of a summative assessment has the potential to alter the
course of a candidate’s life in some way: the greater the impact, the higher the stakes.

Assessment Principals
The principles below outline good assessment:
1. Clarify good performance
Provide clear definitions of academic requirements before each learning task
2. Encourage time and effort on task
Reduce the size (e.g. by limiting the word count) and increase the number of learning tasks
(or assessments). Distribute these across the module
3. Deliver high quality feedback information that helps learners self-correct
Ensure feedback turnaround time is prompt, ideally within 2 weeks
4. Encourage positive motivational beliefs and self-esteem
Use real-life scenarios and dynamic feedback

5. Encourage interaction and dialogue around learning (peer and teacher student)
Use learner response systems to make lectures more interactive
Cont’d:

6. Facilitate the development of self-assessment and reflection in learning


Ask learners to write a reflective essay or keep a reflective journal in relation to
their learning
7. Give learners choice in assessment – content and process
Require learner groups to generate criteria that could be used to assess their
projects
8. Help teachers adapt teaching to student needs
Carry out a brief survey mid-term or mid-semester while there is time to address
major concerns
Assessment Method:
Assessment methods define the nature of the assessor actions and include:

● Examine method: The process of reviewing, inspecting, observing, studying, or analyzing one or more assessment
objects (i.e., specifications, mechanisms, or activities). The purpose of the examine method is to facilitate assessor
understanding, achieve clarification, or obtain evidence.
● Interview method: The process of holding discussions with individuals or groups of individuals within an organization to,
once again, facilitate assessor understanding, achieve clarification, or obtain evidence.
● Test method: The process of exercising one or more assessment objects (i.e., activities or mechanisms) under specified
conditions to compare actual with expected behavior.

In all three methods, the results are used in making specific determinations called for in the determination statements and
thereby achieving the objectives for the assessment procedure.

A Good Assessment:
Here is a general agreement that good assessment (especially summative) should be:
1. Valid: measures what it is supposed to measure, at the appropriate level, in the
appropriate domains (constructive alignment).
2. Fair: is non-discriminatory and matches expectations.
3. Transparent: processes and documentation, including assessment briefing and
marking criteria, are clear.
4. Reliable: assessment is accurate, consistent and repeatable.
5. Feasible: assessment is practicable in terms of time, resources and student numbers.
6. Educational impact: assessment results in learning what is important and is
authentic and worthwhile.

Summarry

Assessment is learning outcomes which is very important.


It’s very important in order to improve quality of learning,
while it can be seen from the result of assessment. The
result of assessment can encourage teachers to determine
good teaching strategies and motivate students to
improve their study.
