Assessment

Go to a Discussion Forum
Keeping records of assessment activities in a methodical way will provide a direct link to reporting. Record-keeping procedures could include: anecdotal records, observation notes, marks and grades, running records, comments and descriptions, time sampling, tracking sheets, checklists, portfolios, rating scales and student profiles.
What should you consider when you design a task?
A single task can often measure achievement in relation to several objectives. Consider the nature and structure of the task so that you:
make the requirements of the task as clear as possible
choose questions or activities that assess the chosen objectives and allow students to demonstrate appropriate outcomes
make any sources or stimulus material clear and appropriate to the task
anticipate the likely range of student responses.
What should you consider when you devise a marking scheme?
A marking scheme should be devised as a task is set.
Teachers should:
allocate marks or appropriate comments to each section of the task
consider any weighting that is to be applied
adjust the marking scheme when the student responses are unexpected.
