Assessment 2.0 What is the purpose of assessment?

Assessment 2.0 Types of assessment 6/10/  convergent type, in which one correct answer is expected, and divergent responses, in which the answer depends on opinion or analysis (Torrance et al., 2001)  convergent assessment has its origins in mastery-learning models and involves assessment of the student by the master-teacher  divergent assessment is often associated with a constructivist view of learning, where the teacher and student engage collaboratively within Vygotsky’s (1986) zone of proximal development

Assessment 2.0 Teachers need to decide: 6/10/  whether a norm-referenced or criterion-referenced assessment scheme is more appropriate for the particular learning outcomes  whether the process of solving a problem and the product of solving a problem are both assessed, and what is the relative weighting for the two components  whether constructed or selected responses are appropriate

Assessment 2.0 Effective e-Assessment 6/10/  can offer new possibilities for immersion and interactivity  has the potential to facilitate enhanced social interactions  can begin to resemble games and role-playing  can facilitate the exposition of advanced skills and capabilities
