ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION

The primary purpose of assessment and evaluation is to improve student learning

• Assessment is the process of gathering information that accurately reflects how well a student is achieving the curriculum expectations in a subject or course.
• The primary purpose of assessment is to improve student learning.
• Assessment for the purpose of improving student learning is seen as both “assessment for learning” and “assessment as learning”.

ASSESSMENT

As essential steps in assessment for learning and as learning, teachers need to:

• plan assessment concurrently and integrate it seamlessly with instruction;
• share learning goals and success criteria with students at the outset of learning to ensure that students and teachers have a common and shared understanding of these goals and criteria as learning progresses;
• gather information about student learning before, during, and at or near the end of a period of instruction, using a variety of assessment strategies and tools;
• use assessment to inform instruction, guide next steps, and help students monitor their progress towards achieving their learning goals;
• analyse and interpret evidence of learning;
• give and receive specific and timely descriptive feedback about student learning;
• help students to develop skills of peer and self-assessment.

EVALUATION

Assessment “OF” Learning

Evaluation refers to the process of judging the quality of student learning on the basis of established performance standards and assigning a value to represent that quality.

Evidence of student achievement for evaluation is collected over time from three different sources: observations, conversations, and student products.

Student products may be in the form of tests or exams and/or assignments for evaluation.
