Different assessment
Summative assessment
Why: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.
Example:
-
-
-
Standardised tests that demonstrate school accountability are used for pupil admissions; SATs, GCSEs and A-Levels
What:Summative assessment aims to evaluate student learning and academic achievement at the end of a term, year or semester by comparing it against a universal standard or school benchmark. Summative assessments often have a high point value, take place under controlled conditions, and therefore have more visibility.
Diagnostic assessment
Why:The purpose of diagnostic assessment, as elaborated above, is to aid teachers improve their instruction methods and help students learn better.
Example:Informal diagnostic assessments occur prior to a lesson and may include teacher-made surveys and checklists given to the entire class.
Standardized diagnostic assessments which have high reliability and validity and are typically commercial products.
What: the diagnostic assessment definition is the use of a tool, such as a test, to determine the knowledge and skill level of a student prior to a lesson. These tools can vary in application and complexity. Similar to taking a vehicle into the shop for a tune-up in which the mechanic uses a checklist to assess the condition of the car so it runs efficiently, teachers also assess students, so they can prepare lessons to most efficiently instruct their class.
Assessment as learning
-
Example:Student-Teacher Conferences,Quizzes,Reading Journal Responses
What:Assessment as learning occurs when students are their own assessors. Students monitor their own learning, ask questions and use a range of strategies to decide what they know and can do, and how to use assessment for new learning.
Performance assessment
Why:Assessments can help educators identify if students are making progress and what adjustments to make to the class curriculum to ensure students are successful in their education. Performance assessments are also very helpful while evaluating the effectiveness of course lesson plans.
What:A performance assessment involves applying and showing skills and knowledge through various performance tasks. The purpose of a performance assessment is to improve the student learning experience and evaluate the effectiveness of lesson plans. These assessments measure how well a student can apply the knowledge they've learned, not if they can recall the knowledge.
Example:Standardized assessments or norm-referenced: Assessments that use a basic threshold to understand student knowledge and provides a grade or score as an assessment result. Examples include the ACT, SAT, AP examinations and IQ examinations.
Assessment for learning
Example:Oral Reading,Observational Notes,Reading Checklists
-
What:Assessment for learning involves teachers using evidence about students’ knowledge, understanding, and skills to inform their teaching. Sometimes referred to as ‘formative assessment’, it usually occurs throughout the teaching and learning process to clarify student learning and understanding.
Formative assessment
Why: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, SMT and school leaders use this information to identify areas of strength and weakness across the institution, and to develop strategies for improvement.
-
What:Formative assessment is more diagnostic than evaluative. It is used to monitor pupil learning style and ability, to provide ongoing feedback and allow educators to improve and adjust their teaching methods and for students to improve their learning.
Assessment of Learning
Why:Its effectiveness as an opportunity for learning depends on the nature and quality of the feedback.
Example:Reading reflections, book reports,mind maps
What:Assessment of learning assists teachers in using evidence of student learning to assess achievement against outcomes and standards. Sometimes referred to as ‘summative assessment’, it usually occurs at defined key points during a teaching work or at the end of a unit, term or semester, and may be used to rank or grade students.
