Author:
Tomás de Aquino Caluyua Yambi
Purpose:
To clarify the distinction between assessment and evaluation in the context of teaching and learning, highlighting their different goals, mindsets, and uses.
Assessment and Evaluation is used to:
Test quality of teaching and learning processes
Find out what more can be done to improve the education
Assessment
:
Involves gathering and interpreting information about student level of attainment of learning goals
Identify individual student weaknesses and strengths
Provides feedback on the effectiveness of instruction
4 Components:
Measuring improvement over time
Motivating students to study
Evaluating the teaching methods
Ranking the students' capabilities in relation to the whole group evaluation
Approaches:
Assessment of learning:
Reliable, objective measures are a high priority.
Focus on making summative judgements
Assessment for learning:
Imply a more formative approach.
More emphasis on feedback to improve performance.
Importance of Assessment
Drives students learning
Improve level of student performance
Help to become more effective self-directed learners
Play a critical role in educational decision-making
Key to Continuous Lesson Improvement
Types of Assessment:
Summative assessment:
Make decisions for grading or determine readiness for progression.
Formative assessment:
Assist the learning process by providing feedback, identify strengths and weakness.
Formal assessment:
Judgments integrated with other tasks. Often used to provide formative feedback.
Informal assessment:
Prone to high subjectivity or bias. They are summative in nature.
Continuous assessment:
occurs throughout a learning experience. Determine the subsequent progression or sequence of activities.
Final assessment:
Takes place only at the end of a learning activity. Appropriate when learning can only be assessed as a complete whole.
Divergent assessments:
Those for which a range of answers or solutions might be considered correct.
Convergent assessment:
Has only one correct response.
Process assessment:
Focuses on the steps or procedures underlying a particular ability or task. Useful when a student is learning a new skill and for providing formative feedback.
Product assessment:
focuses on evaluating the result or outcome of a process. Appropriate for documenting
proficiency or competency in a given skill
Between Assessment and Evaluation
Assessment
(data collection via test/observation/oral)
Measurement
(assigning values to observed traits)
Interpretation of Scores
(implied from "test score is the indication")
Evaluation
(implied final step of making judgments)
Evaluation:
Determining the value of something
Focus of the evaluation is on grades
Comparing a student's achievement with other students or with a set of standard
Functions:
Determine how effective teaching is
Provide information about programs
Identify student's outcome (fail or pass)
Helps in decision making
Measuring long-term impact
Diagnosing complex issues
Principles of Evaluation:
Continuous, on-going process
Provide most accurate assessment of
students' learning and progress.
Must be a collaborative activity between teachers and students
Needs to be authentic
Assessment
is concerned with
converting expectations to results.
Evaluation
is concerned with issues of validity, accuracy, reliability, analysis, and reporting.
They are different in
purpose,
setting criteria, control of the process,
and
response.
