ICT and Assessment in

Learning
 Introduction
Assessment is very important in student
learning. There are many approaches in
assessment in learning with an
emphasis on the process of learning
along with the product of learning. The
ultimate measures of student's
competence in performance
development in information and
communication technology (ICT) has
 Types of
Assessment
1. Formative assessment - provides
feedback and information during the
instructional process, while learning
is taking place, and while learning is
occurring.
2. Summative assessment - takes
place after the learning has been
completed and provides information
and feedback that sums up the
3. Diagnostic assessment - can help
you identify your students' current
articulate knowledge of a subject,
their skill sets and capabilities, and
to clarify misconceptions before
teaching takes place. Knowing
students' strengths and weaknesses
can help you better plan what to
4. Authentic assessment -
describes the multiple forms
of assessment that reflect
student learning,
achievement, motivation, and
attitudes on instructionally
relevant classroom activities.
 The Role of ICT in
Assessment in Learning
In an Educational Assessment, the use
of technology as an innovation and
support for teaching and learning
(Sindhu 2013) is essential to improve
instruction and increase performance.
With an effective classroom
assessment system in place, a valid
demonstration of student learning in
progress connected to classroom
One of the advantages of using a
web-based exam software or
online examination is that it gives
a high level of transparency as
opposed to the traditional method
or remote method. It's almost
impossible to compromise the
exam questions and evaluations
Most online exams generate their
results instantly and it is often
possible for the exam taker to get
information to his result immediately.
Some of the major advantages of
online examinations are:
1. Accessibility and Flexibility
2. Time Management
3. Save Cost
 Current Trends in
Assessment in Learning
Traditional assessment like objective
test such as multiple choice, matching
type true or false and other paper-and-
pencil test received criticism by some
experts in assessment. The 21" century
assessment includes utilizing multiple
measures of assessment, increasing the
use of technology, focus on the growth
and development of the learner, and
differentiating the roles and
In the 21st century, educators and students
can no longer afford this disconnect. To help
students become college and career-ready,
we need to teach them how to apply what
they are learning in school to the practical
and intellectual tasks in their everyday lives
(Wolpert-Gawron, 2010).
The concept of 'classroom' has been shifting
in recent years with dedication to
purposefully designed learning spaces and
seamless integrations of technologies
Education technology has
introduced new, exciting and
innovative ways to engage
students in active learning while
online. The teacher will give
learning activities that are
intentional, meaningful and
useful. Active learning is any
Roblyer and Edwards (2000) as
cited in (Keser & Ozcan, 2011)
suggested that there are
important reasons for teachers to
use technology in education:
motivation, distinctive
instructional abilities, higher
productivity of teachers, essential

Learning
 Introduction
Assessment methods are the strategies,
techniques, tools and instruments for
collecting information to determine the
extent to which students demonstrate
desired learning outcomes.,
According to Mehrens (2001) as cited in
McDivitt and Gibson (n.d.), in its
broadest sense, the purpose of any
The following may be
considered in choosing
appropriate assessment tools:
(1) goals of assessment
(2) methods of assessment,
either direct or indirect
(3) the interval in giving
One of the challenges for beginning
teachers is to select and use
appropriate assessment techniques
suited to the learners needs. During
teaching teachers not only have to
communicate the information they
planned but also continuously
monitor students learning and
motivation in order to determine
The teacher may either be
utilizing direct or indirect
methods.
• Examples of Direct Method
- Examinations
- Written Assignments
- Oral Presentation
• Examples of Indirect
Method
- Group discussion
- Role playing
- Reflective journaling
- Problem solving activities
Creating and Utilizing Rubric
What is a Rubric?
- is a set of criteria used to
determine scoring for an
assignment, product and to
assess student performances.
- used to score many kinds of
written tasks or exams,
There are two types of rubric:
Analytic Rubrics
- describe work on each criterion
separately.
- utilizes separate, holistic ratings or
specific characteristics, products, or
behaviors.
Holistics Rubrics
- describe the work by applying all the
criteria at the same time and enabling an
overall judgement about the quality of the
What is an Electronic Examination?
- It is also called Computer-Based Assessment
(CBA), Computer-Based Test (CBT) or e-exams.
- It is a test conducted through personal
computer (PC) or any
electronic device, where the delivery,
responses and assessment are effected
electronically.
- Computer-Based Testing is more efficient
than Paper-based test because it is an
individualized testing and has faster score
What is Paper-and-Pencil
Testing?
- Paper-and-pencil testing is the
most common assessment
procedure utilized by teacher to
gather formal evidence about
pupil learning.
Electronic Portfolio
- An electronic portfolio which is also known
as an E-Portfolio, digital portfolio a online
portfolio is a collection of electronic
evidence assembled and managed by a user,
usually on the Web (Zimmerman, 2012). E-
Portfolio includes input text, electronic files,
images, multimedia, blog entries, and
hyperlinks. E-Portfolios are both
demonstrations of the user's abilities and
platforms for self-expression.
Ideal Portfolio - It contains all
work of students. It is not given
to provide students a grade.
Showcase/Professional
ePortfolio - These ePortfolio are
primarily a way to demonstrate
(showcase) the highlights of a
Documentation
portfolio - It involves a
collection of work over
time showing growth
and improvement
reflecting students'
Learning ePortfolios - are typically created
by a student as part of a learning activity
as a way to demonstrate learning and the
learning process. These portfolios are
often shared with other students to elicit
peer feedback. Learning portfolios support
the idea of formative feedback as an
essential part of the learning process.
Evaluation/Assessment ePortfolio - The
teacher may utilize this for both formative
