Assessment tools such as: Assessment tools such as: –Classroom-based topic tests (e.g. Yr4 Maths test on area & volume, Yr7 Science test on Cells, etc.) (e.g. Yr4 Maths test on area & volume, Yr7 Science test on Cells, etc.) –VCE exams, –AMEB Music Exams, –Drivers License test. Main Purpose (main question answered): Main Purpose (main question answered): –To test whether or not a student has mastered the skills as set out in the curriculum. Desired outcome: Desired outcome: –If students have learnt well they should get a 100% mark on the test Examples of Summative (Mastery) Testing

Mastery tests have at least two major uses, namely: Mastery tests have at least two major uses, namely: they provide immediate feedback to teachers on how well students have mastered the knowledge and skills of the work currently being taught – information that can be used to provide individual remediation as needed, and they provide immediate feedback to teachers on how well students have mastered the knowledge and skills of the work currently being taught – information that can be used to provide individual remediation as needed, and they provide feedback to parents about the progress of their children against the taught curriculum. they provide feedback to parents about the progress of their children against the taught curriculum. Summative (Mastery) Testing

Systemic sponsored assessment tools such as: Systemic sponsored assessment tools such as: –NAPLAN, –On-Demand Adaptive Tests, –English Online Assessment (Government schools).

Desired outcome: Desired outcome: –If the test difficulty has been chosen correctly for a student the student should get about 50% of the questions correct. Examples of Summative (Standardised) Testing

Summative (Standardised) Testing Summative testing is essential to : Summative testing is essential to : monitor the effectiveness of your teaching, and monitor the effectiveness of your teaching, and monitor the progress of students along a developmental continuum. monitor the progress of students along a developmental continuum. But, research shows that summative tests do not lead to improved learning outcomes. As the saying goes: But, research shows that summative tests do not lead to improved learning outcomes. As the saying goes: “You don’t fatten a pig by weighing it” So, although it is essential, keep summative testing to a minimum. So, although it is essential, keep summative testing to a minimum.

Examples of Formative (Diagnostic) Testing Assessment tools such as: Assessment tools such as: –Marie Clay Inventory, –On-Demand Linear Tests, –English AND Maths Online Assessment (Government schools), –SINE (CEO schools), –Probe.

Diagnostic Testing (Feedback) Hattie (2003)† shows that our most effective teachers (in terms of improving the learning outcomes of students) constantly use diagnostic information (Feedback) to inform their teaching.
