Field Study 1

The document discusses three types of assessments in education: Assessment for Learning, Assessment of Learning, and Assessment as Learning. Each type serves distinct purposes, with formative assessments providing ongoing feedback to improve teaching, summative assessments evaluating overall student performance, and self-assessments allowing learners to track their own progress. Effective strategies and examples for each assessment type are provided to enhance instructional methods and learning outcomes.

Differentiating Assessment for Learning,


Assessment of Learning and Assessment as a Learning

Assessment for learning by educators use evidence about learners' knowledge,


comprehension, and skills to fuel and supplement the lessons they teach. It is also
known as developmental/ formative assessment and is typically used throughout the
teaching and learning process to explain student knowledge and comprehension.
Additionally, Carnegie Mellon Eberly Center claims that approach gives teachers
continuous feedback (CMEC,2017). They believe that through this they are capable
to perform an early detection of at-risk students, promptly and appropriately modify
the instructions and strategical teaching methods and lastly track the advancement of
learners.

Assessment of learning is known as a summative evaluation or assessment. It


enables teachers utilize data regarding student progress to evaluate performance
towards targeted outcomes and expectations.This method greatly applies on
contrasting a learners overall achievement or performance during the learning
progress. Furthermore, it usually takes place when predetermined significant points
during a teaching session or at the completion of a lesson, term, or semester, and
can be utilized to classify or evaluate learners. The accuracy, dependability, and
validity assigned to each activity impacts the efficacy of learning assessments for
rating or classifying reasons. The efficacy as a learning opportunity relies on the kind
and caliber of observations set forth to improve and maintain a competent teaching
strategy.

Assessment of a learning usually takes place when learners evaluate themselves.


This is for them to figure out what they are familiar with and are capable of as well as
the means by which to apply assessment for new learning, learners keep a tab on
their own progress, inquiries, and employ varried techniques.

All in all this three, Assessment for learning, Assessment of learning and Assessment
of a learning certainly guarantees within instructional and intervention plans. Through
ensuring a good balance and to properly administer within the methods used for
learning and intervention outcomes to a comprehensive and efficient assessment, it
identifies the extent to which a learner performs in relation to important core skills
and metrics and tells when a student's performance is evaluated in relation to end-of-
year goals and learning standards.

EXAMPLES:

Assessment for learning


Frequent Progress Monitoring, in which a student's academic performance is
evaluated on a regular basis between benchmarks to ascertain if the interventions
and teaching being provided are having a beneficial impact on learning outcomes or
whether changes need to be made.
An effective strategy would be a Round the Room Questioning, is when the
teacher goes around the classroom asking questions of individual or small groups of
learners. This has the advantage of letting the teacher ask questions that are
specifically aimed at certain learner, which helps to spot misconceptions early on and
rectify them. It also offers a chance for compliments and encouragement. This is a
useful exercise to do in the middle of a session when learners are working alone or in
small groups.

Assessment of learning
Adaptive Computer Testing (ACT) strategy is an alternative to the
conventional traditional tests. It monitors overall growth and student accomplishment
while adjusting to the student's ability level. The questions are given according to the
student's current grade level, and an algorithm is used to automatically modify the
questions based on the student's past responses. The student receives easier or
harder questions depending on how many of their answers are correct.

Assessment as a learning

Think, Pair, Share strategy Using this method, the teacher poses a question,
and learners respond by either writing down or analyzing it. After discussing this with
a partner, the class as a whole reconvenes to carry on the discussion.
Assessments can be made by teachers during both the "share" and pair
discussion phases. This kind of evaluation is helpful at the start of the class to
determine prior knowledge, during teacher input, and at the conclusion to gauge the
students' level of comprehension after the topic has been given.
