Assessment Techniques
Purpose of Assessment
changes to delivery or pace etc
Learner can demonstrate understanding and competence
Are learning outcomes achieved
Learner can track progress
are the standards you set upheld and has the course met the requirements
assessment can be carried out, before, during and after a course
3 types of assessment

Summative
At the end of the course

main principles of assessment
Assessment can be considered
valid
when it reflects stated learning outcomes
Assessment can be considered
reliable
when it uses valid assessment techniques
Assessment must be fair and consistent.
Assessment is considered
fair
when the correct suitable resources are available for learners
Norm referenced:
the learner is assessed against what is the norm of the group.
Assessment is considered
transparent
when assessment guidelines are written clearly
Criterion referenced:
the learner is assessed against a set of predetermined external standards. These are normally used for assessments for qualification and accreditation.
Assessment is
practical
when it doesn’t take too long to implement
Examples of summative assessment
End of unit tests
Portfolios
Assignments
A standardised assessment
Assessment Method and Marking Criteria
Planning and Assesment
Matching your assessment technique to your learning outcomes.
Developing the assessment method
Devising your marking criteria
Practical skills and processes are best tested by a practical examination
Base practical tests on realistic scenarios
Assessment should reflect the learning outcome.
If you want to assess attitude, observation is your best method.
Ensure instructions are clear and ambiguous.
To ensure resources are easily attainable
To state your assessment criteria and show marks allocated for each section
To state time allocated for the assessment
To try balance the training with the assessment, allow, for every 10% of training time
to assessment time.
Carry out a pilot run of the assessment; this will help identify any problems.
Assessment Criteria Must
Show what the learner has to demonstrate so show achievement of learning outcome
Match the learning outcomes of the course being assessed
Adopt appropriate language and vocabulary so that the assessment is consistent
with the course
State the weightings of each section of the assessment
State the mark for each criterion.
