+Why Do We Assess Students?
What Administrators Want to Know: n Whether students should be promoted n Whether instructors were successful
What Students Want to Know: n Whether they are making progress n Where they are in relation to peers
What Professors Want to Know: n Student readiness, skill levels, aptitudes, and interests n What students already know; what knowledge/skills they need n Whether they are making progress n What students achieved
+Effective Assessment
Effective assessment is planned, sequential, and aligned with learning goals, outcomes, and activities.
Assessment is more than evaluation. n Evaluation – summative; measures progress at defined
points in the semester. n Assessment – formative and summative; formative
component provides instructor and student with ongoing feedback about student understanding.
Forma&ve assessment is most effec&ve when: n Students are given a clear picture of what they need to
learn. n Students receive continuous feedback about progress. n Students self-assess their own progress. n Instructors provide instruction in the specific steps
students must take to be successful.
Use of forma&ve assessments produce significant learning gains. n This kind of assessment improves the learning of all
students, especially low achievers.
+Examples of Formative Assessments (in class)
