1. Formative and Summative Evaluation

2. Formative Evaluation The goal of formative assessment is to Monitor student learning Provide ongoing feedback Improve teaching Improve learning. to identify and remediate group or individual deficiencies to move focus away from achieving grades and onto learning processes, in order to increase self efficacy and reduce the negative impact of extrinsic motivation to improve students' metacognitive awareness of how they learn. "frequent, ongoing assessment allows both for fine-tuning of instruction and student focus on progress.

3. Formative Evaluation Tools draw a concept map in class to represent their understanding of a topic submit one or two sentences identifying the main point of a lecture turn in a research proposal for early feedback Low stake- point value

4. Principles of Feedback practice in Formative Evaluation It clarifies what good performance is (goals, criteria, expected standards); It facilitates the development of self-assessment in learning; It provides high quality information to students about their learning; It encourages teacher and peer dialogue around learning; It encourages positive motivational beliefs and self-esteem; It provides opportunities to close the gap between current and desired performance; It provides information to teachers that can be used to help shape teaching.

5. Formative Evaluation: Benefits to teacher Teachers are able to determine what standards students already know and to what degree. Teachers can decide what minor modifications or major changes in instruction they need to make so that all students can succeed in upcoming instruction and on subsequent assessments. Teachers can create appropriate lessons and activities for groups of learners or individual students. Teachers can inform students about their current progress in order to help them set goals for improvement.

10. Principles of Summative Evaluation The purpose of the assessment The validity – relevant skill is measured Reliability – same result id test is repeated Referencing : Criterion or Norm Construction quality of items Grading

11. Rubrics A rubric is a scoring tool that lists the criteria for a piece of work, or “what counts” (for example, purpose, organization, details, voice, and mechanics are often what count in a piece of writing); it also articulates gradations of quality for each criterion, from excellent to poor. The term defies a dictionary definition, but it seems to have established itself, so I continue to use it.

13. Rubrics: Advantages Powerful tools for both teaching and assessment Improve student performance, as well as monitor it, by making teachers’ expectations clear and by showing students how to meet these expectations Help students become more thoughtful judges of the quality of their own and others’ work. Reduce the amount of time teachers spend evaluating student work Allows them to accommodate heterogeneous classes Easy to use and to explain.
