 What is an assessment?
Refers to the different components and activities of different schools. It
can be use to determine the student's learning capacity and in comparing
student earning with learning goals of an academic program.

It is also defined as an act or process of collecting and interpreting

information about student learning.

instruction
Assessment in instructional processes focuses on student
01 learning progress and teacher effectiveness.

Feedback from assessments benefits both students and

02 teachers, aiding in the evaluation of teaching methods.

Assessment results are crucial for making informed

Three key assessments: placement at the beginning,

involvement.
 What are rubrics?
Rubrics are scoring guides or frameworks that establish clear criteria for
evaluating and assessing a performance, task, or project. They provide a
structured and standardized way to assess and communicate
expectations, enabling consistency in evaluation.
 What are rubrics?
Rubrics are essential in education for clear and structured assessment.
They ensure transparency, consistency, and provide constructive
feedback. Rubrics align student efforts with learning objectives,
promoting fairness and enabling self-assessment. They streamline
evaluations and support goal-setting, contributing to a growth mindset.
Rubrics are versatile and improve the assessment experience across
disciplines.
 what is performance-based
assessment?
Performance assessment is an assessment in which students are asked to perform
real-world tasks that demonstrate meaningful application of essential knowledge and
skills.
what is portfolio assessment?

Portfolio assessment is the systematic, longitudinal collection of student work

created in response to specific, known instructional objectives and evaluation in
relation to the same criteria.
guidelines for effective
students assessment

Improvement of student learning is the main purpose of

classroom assessment. This can be done if assessment is
integrated with good instruction and is guided by certain
principles. Gronlund (1998) provided the general guidelines
for using student assessment effectively.
 guidelines for effective
students assessment
Effective assessment requires a clear concept of all intended
01 learning outcomes.

Effective assessment requires that a variety of assessment

02 procedures should be used.

Effective assessment requires that the instructional

03 relevance of the procedure should be considered.

Effective assessment requires an adequate sample of student

04 performance.
 guidelines for effective
students assessment
Effective assessment requires that the procedures must be
05 fair to everyone.

Effective assessment requires specification of criteria for

06 judging successful performance.

Effective performance requires feedback to students

07 emphasizing strengths of performance and weaknesses to be
corrected.
Effective assessment must be supported by a comprehensive
08 grading and reporting system.
 what is a
homework?
It is defined as tasks assigned to students by school
teachers that are intended to be carried out during non-
school hours. This definition excludes in-school guided
study (although homework is often worked on during
school), home-study courses, and extracurricular activities
such as sports teams and clubs.

 what makes a good
homework?
A good homework is differentiated in terms of level and purpose, enhances the
facilitative role of parents, observes school policy on homework, has a relevant
purpose understood by all, is evaluated and commented on and requires
commitments that are fed back to the learners and parents.
