Diagnostic assessment
a form of assessment designed to provide teachers with information about students'
prior knowledge and misconceptions before beginning a learning activity
Formative
Takes place during learning and is used to plan or modify instruction
Summative Assessment
Assessment data collected after instruction to evaluate a student's mastery of the
curriculum objectives and a teacher's effectiveness at instructional delivery. Final Exam
or Final Project
What is the purpose of assessment OF learning
To gather evidence about what learners know and can do to differentiate and
personalize instruction-done by teacher (summative assessment)
Which modified feedback statement would be more effective for this learner?
"If you are feeling distracted during your read-aloud, it is OK to stop, ask for a brief
pause, regain your composure, and start fresh."
Students are learning how to crop an image in half using a provided step-by-step
instructional document. One student submits an uncropped, rotated image. The initial
feedback from the teacher is, "It does not appear that you understand the definition of
crop. Instead, you have rotated the image."
Which modified feedback statement would be more effective for this student?
"It appears you have rotated this image rather than cropped it. For this exercise, follow
the provided steps on the board, and then resubmit your task."

teacher is familiar with the work habits of each student and, at times, has been able to
guess the score that each student will receive on an assignment based on its level of
difficulty. For their final project, students are required to submit a research paper that
highlights a historical event or figure. Students have two weeks to submit the paper.
Which scoring bias issue may be a concern in this situation?
The teacher may score the assignment based on prior knowledge of the students.
A fifth-grade health teacher forgets to make paper copies of the midsemester multiple-
choice assessment. The teacher is required to administer the test by the end of the day;
consequently, the teacher decides to project the assessment using the class smart
,board and have the students write their answers on notebook paper.
What is the purpose of assessment FOR learning
To generate data and feedback that learners use to monitor individual progress adjust
personal learning approaches reflect on learning and set learning goals done by the
teacher formative
What is the purpose of assessment As learning
To summarize learning at any given point in time or communicate achievement or
competency done by student self monitor reflect

Descriptive Analytics
________________________Analytics and data that describe past performance and
history. Analytics are used to determine what happened and works well with item
analysis of comprehensive, m/c questions and statements using data measurements
such as current score, time spent on task or frequency of access.
Diagnostic Analytics
"WHY did this happen?" Information that attempts to determine causal relationships,
answers the question
Predictive Analytics
ASKS the question " WHAT is likely to happen?"Extracts information from data and
uses it to predict future trends and identify behavioral patterns.
Prescriptive Analytics
ASKS the question "WHAT should be DONE?"The set of analytical techniques that yield
a best course of action. Solves the problem
Quantitative Analysis
Analysis is based on an objective numerical data and statistics.
Qualitative Analysis
based on non-numerical information such as observations, reflections and interviews.
Competency-Based
assessment strategies are constructed via scenarios or simulations that students must
complete to demonstrate their critical thinking and mastery of learning. (presentation
with rubric) Learners deliver a training talk on student-centered learning for first year
teachers
Criterion Referenced:
assessment strategies are designed for learners to demonstrate a master in a learned
skill measured by a specific criterion reference to prove competency. (Criterion based
rubric) (Advanced placement test) Learners will be able to apply the basics of calculus.
Ipsative:
assessment strategies are designed to measure students past knowledge or
performance against their current knowledge. (compares previous work to current
progress) (point A-point B) Learners will increase reading and comprehension skills.
Journal use is a way for students to reflect on learning to assess advancement and
compare prior abilities.
Norm-Referenced:
assessment strategies are designed to compare one learners progress compares to the
class average. (Bell-Curve) Learners will be able to identify and solve engineering
problems that may occur in the field.
Standards:
assessment strategies are designed to see if a learner can meet a specific requirement
to demonstrate mastery of a predetermined standard. (WA-Sate Standardized testing,
SAT's ACTs) Learners will master grade-level mathematics.
Traditional:
, assessment strategies are designed to see if a learner can meet the requirements
based on memorization of data, dates and facts. (MC/T/F test) Learners will be able to
describe and identify parts of the human nervous system.
Direct
methods use something that the learner has created for evaluation. Direct assessments
are used to evaluate learner's understanding of a concept, achievement of a learning
objective or completion of a goal. Instructor evaluates the learner's work to reach a
conclusion about the learner's achievements. Example: a cake, capstone projects,
presentations, essays, and tests (essay analyzing a play)
Indirect
are determined by the learner or an observer to assess if the learner has met the
requirements. LMS: attendance is recorded to and logged in data and time on task.
Allows learning designers to establish patterns in the data Example: a presentation or
demonstration, surveys (course survey), confidence-based assessment. (a course
survey will provide information that affect student learning but does not measure student
knowledge or skills.)
Understand
Objective test items such as fill-in-the-blank, matching, labeling or m/c questions all
require learners to recall or recognize terms, facts and concepts.
Bloom's Taxonomy identifies three domains of learning.
Which domain includes knowing?
Cognitive Level
Why does the cognitive level of Bloom Taxonomy include knowing?
Knowing is included in the cognitive domain because it involves using the mind to
remember and recognize facts and concepts.
