Get Your Students Hired
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.
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 learned that essay questions should build on memorized facts and ask the student to apply the facts to scenarios.
I ve learned / remembered:
1) Assessment reliability and validity
2) Objective and subjective assessments.
3) Norm- and Criterion-referenced assessments.
Both subjective and objective assessments can be useful tools to test students' learning
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.
Learned the different types of assessments that can be used, typically use Objective and Subjective assessments.
It's important to provide both subjective and objective assessment. Objective measures the degree of hard knowledge retained, while subjective focuses more on opinions formed and the ability to apply knowledge.
This module is important to notice the difference between objective and subjective assessments so they are a new challenge to prepare and evaluate correctly.
Necessary assessments tools in the education realm great tools to determine student's grasp of knowledge.
I think what really resonated with me after reading about Subjective and Objective Assessments is that adequate and appropriate assessments are not easy to create. A poorly constructed test will result in grades that may not accurately reflect what has been learned.
Subjective tests are evaluated by giving an opinion. Objective test, on the other hand, have right or wrong answers. Subjective tests are more challenging to prepare, administer, and evaluate correctly; essays are a good example of subjective assessments. Rubrics should be used in evaluating essays and should be shared with students with clear guidelines to help them focus on their writing. In my classes, I use a lot of essay questions in my midterm or final assessments and provide an example of a sufficient response to ensure they understand the topic and are not just writing nonsense or providing a generalized answer.
I appreciated the review (and application) of validity and reliability regarding assessment - this is something that I know I don't consciously consider when creating assessments, so this is great "fall back" to theory/pedagogy/methodology for a new (or seasoned) faculty member.
Norm-referenced and criterion-referenced assessments are two types of assessment in which results are specifically compared to something. Both are important in the assessment of students although they have very different purposes.
Norm-referenced assessment allows an instructor to compare a student's skills to others within a particular group and are most appropriate when the instructor wants to make comparisons across a large number of students or needs to make a decision regarding student placement and advancement. Norm-referenced assessments are better to use to determine individual performance in comparison to others.
Ambas miden destrezas pero desde un enfoque diferente, pero en las subjetivas tenemos el reto de preparar, administrar y evaluar ya que requiere de nuestro discernimiento .
There are various types of evaluations, depending on the intention of the instructor, it is valid to carry out objective, subjective or criteria evaluations, the important thing is to be clear about what is being evaluated.
Que interesante este curso, realmente la labor del docente es compleja. Hay que trabajar muy duro para ser lo integral posible en la labor, y prepararse para evaluar a los estudiantes de la mejor manera, para que contribuya a su aprendizaje y al mismo tiempo nos permita ver como estamos llevando el proceso de enseñanza - aprendizaje
I have learned that there are various ways of assessments - these being objective and subjective assessments. Both are useful, however, subjective assessments helps us to better understand the students' own knowledge of the material and how they can put together the information they have understood.
I have learnt that assessment should respond to the criteria of validity and reliability and that there are different types of evaluation according to the criteria used: it could be objective or subjective
