Assessment of, as and for learning (Phebe O)
Assessment as learning
What is it?
Assessment as learning, takes a student-centered approach by involving learners in self-assessment and reflection throughout the learning process. This formative assessment empowers students to become active participants in their education, promoting metacognition and critical thinking skills.
Why is it used?
By encouraging students to monitor their own progress and make adjustments to their learning strategies, assessment as learning fosters a growth mindset and intrinsic motivation, leading to deeper and more meaningful understanding.
Examples:
Learning Journals: Students maintain journals to record their thoughts, reflections, and insights about what they are learning, helping them monitor their progress and identify areas for improvement.
Peer Feedback: Students provide constructive feedback to their peers on their work, promoting self-assessment and encouraging collaborative learning.
Goal Setting and Progress Tracking: Students set learning goals and track their progress over time, enabling them to take ownership of their learning and make necessary adjustments to achieve their objectives.
Self-Assessment Checklists: Students use checklists or rubrics to evaluate their own work against specific criteria, allowing them to assess their understanding and identify areas needing further development.
Assessment for learning
What is it?
Assessment for learning, also referred to as formative assessment conducted by educators, plays a crucial role in tailoring instruction to meet students' individual needs. By gathering ongoing information about students' progress and understanding, teachers can provide timely and targeted feedback, ensuring that students receive the necessary support and resources to succeed. This continuous assessment approach supports not only student growth and development but also empowers educators to make improvements in their teaching practices, creating a dynamic and effective learning environment.
Why is it used?
Assessment for learning is used to help teachers understand how well students are doing and to give students feedback to improve their learning. It also helps create a positive and engaging learning environment, where students feel encouraged to learn from their mistakes and work towards their goals. By using assessment for learning, teachers can adapt their teaching methods to better support their students' needs and keep them motivated to learn.
Examples:
Formative Quizzes: Teachers use short quizzes or assessments during lessons to gauge students' understanding of specific topics. This helps identify areas where students may need additional support or clarification.
Peer Feedback: Students provide feedback to their peers on their work, such as presentations or projects. This process encourages students to critically evaluate each other's work and offers valuable insights for improvement.
One-on-One Conferences: Teachers hold individual conferences with students to discuss their progress, strengths, and areas for improvement. These personalized discussions help students set goals and receive specific feedback on their learning journey.
