Ipsative assessments (Josh Martin)
What is it? Why is it used?
one of the types of assessment as learning that compares previous results with a second try, motivating students to set goals and improve their skills.
the practice of determining a student’s progress based on their earlier work. Many assignments and rubrics are designed to measure student work in the normative assessment mode; that is, against a static set of criteria — often necessarily so. But it’s worth it to take the time to examine why and how we use the assessment methods we do, and to consider the value of allowing students’ own progress to be the benchmark against which successive performance is measured.
few ways in which an instructor can offer ipsative feedback:
1 Look at both the student’s earlier work and her current work.
2 Ask student to identify what she considers to be her own areas of weakness in specific assignments and then reflect on if/how she may have improved in subsequent work.
3 Decide how the student has progressed and suggest the next steps the student takes.
