Assessment and Evaluation in Education
Assessment in education refers to the process of gathering information about student learning. Educators use several types of assessments to evaluate student progress.
Formative assessment is used throughout the learning process to monitor student progress and provide feedback. Examples of formative assessments include quizzes, homework assignments, and class discussions.
Summative assessment is used to evaluate student learning at the end of a unit or course. Examples of summative assessments include final exams, projects, and research papers.
Norm-referenced assessments are used to compare a student's performance to the performance of other students. These assessments are often used for high-stakes tests, such as college admissions exams.
Criterion-referenced assessments are used to measure a student's performance against a set of predetermined criteria. These assessments are often used to evaluate student learning in specific subject areas.
Performance-based assessments measure a student's ability to apply their knowledge and skills to real-world situations. Examples of performance-based assessments include oral presentations, lab experiments, and mock trials.
Self-assessments are another type of assessment, where students are asked to evaluate their own learning and progress. This type of assessment can be used to promote student reflection and self-awareness.
