Learned the different types of assessments that can be used, typically use Objective and Subjective assessments.
I can use norm assessments to compare student skills with our pool of students in the larger group when decision making needs to occur during possible externships.
Both subjective and objective assessments can be useful tools to test students' learning
I ve learned / remembered:
1) Assessment reliability and validity
2) Objective and subjective assessments.
3) Norm- and Criterion-referenced assessments.
I learned that essay questions should build on memorized facts and ask the student to apply the facts to scenarios.
subjective assessments allow students to show their ability for higher thinking
You have to know how to differentiate a subjective evaluation from an objective one, since each of them obeys different evaluation dynamics, in the same way the instruments used pass through different criteria, which range from the answers to how they will be evaluated and how to guarantee that both are measuring from the subjectivity or objectivity of the aspects evaluated.
I find it interesting to read about the differences between Norm/Criterion reference assessments. Makes me think a lot about State standardize testing, both the pros and cons of them.
Ive learned about different types of assesments.
Moving forward, I intend to apply this knowledge in my teaching practices to enhance the assessment process for my students. By incorporating a balance of objective and subjective assessments, I aim to provide a comprehensive evaluation that takes into account both quantifiable data and qualitative insights. T
Objective assessments have a right or wrong answer. Th subjective allows the student to use more high-level thinking in their response.
I appreciate this course teaching us the difference between subjective and objective assessments that could be mistaken as the same.
I learned about how rubrics, while not taking the subjectivity out of grading essays, do help provide structure, and I will let rubrics help guide me more.
It is crucial to ensure that assessments accurately measure what they are intended to measure (validity).
It is not enough to assess with reliability in mind. An instructor also needs to consider validity to help ensure that the assessments are sound.
Students must be informed on what they are going to be assessed prior to testing to ensure they are aware of what they are being grading on
The difference between validity and reliability. Validity is more important. Validity ensures a test measures what it is intended to measure. Validity is essential. It is more crucial than the reliability. Also, if a test is valid, it is almost always reliable.
I learned that objective assessments can be summarive or formative.
I have learned about validity vs reliability
it is important to learn how to gauge outcomes and provide feedback for assessments whether subjective or objective so you are consistent with your students
