1. What are the 6 assessment strategies? - ANSWER - Competency-Based:
Skills more than knowledge
- Criterion-Referenced: Focused on meeting criteria
- Norm-Referenced: Bell-curve, bases score on overall group
- Ipsative: Motivation based, shows students improvement
- Standards-Based: Focused on meeting standards
- Traditional: Multiple Choice, True-False
2. Comprehensive-Type (Assessment Method) - ANSWER Comprehensive
assessment entails the whole system of assessing student understanding as a
mechanism to improve teaching and learning.
Students demonstrate knowledge directly.
Comprehensive-type assessments provide various ways for the instructor to
monitor a learner's academic achievement and progress. These assessments
include benchmark, formative, summative and diagnostic.
Ex: Chapter Test
Sample Learning Objective: Learners will be able to demonstrate a knowledge of
World War II.
, 3. Direct (Assessment Method) - ANSWER A professional makes a decision
regarding what a student learned and how well it was learned.
Direct measures student knowledge or skills.
Direct assessments are used to evaluate a learner's understanding of a concept,
achievement of a learning objective, or completion of a goal. The instructor
evaluates the learner's work to reach a conclusion about the learner's
achievements.
Direct assessment involves evaluating work produced by a learner. Formative
assessments such as weekly quizzes and worksheets are examples of direct
assessment. Summative assessments such as capstone projects, presentations,
essays, and tests are also examples of direct assessment. Learners must
demonstrate knowledge to the evaluator.
Ex: Term Paper
Sample Learning Objective: Learners will be able to dissect and interpret classical
literature
4. Discussion Board (Assessment Method) - ANSWER Discussion boards allow
learners to create posts (in writing, audio, or video) on topics relevant to a
course's learning objectives. When used well, a discussion board can create a
sense of community, increase collaboration among learners, and deepen thinking,
analysis, use of evidence, and other skills. A discussion board does not necessarily
have to be graded to serve as an assessment tool. For example, asking a classmate
to clarify a point is a form of feedback on what was written, thus extending the
learning. Discussions make thinking visible and therefore more teachable.
Ex: Online Discussion
Sample Learning Objective: Learners will be able to respond professionally to
opposing points of view.
, 5. Indirect Assessment (Assessment Method) - ANSWER Indirect assessment
methods require that faculty infer actual student abilities, knowledge, and values
rather than observe direct evidence.
Indirect measures other information about the learning process, but not student
knowledge or skills. Unlike direct assessment, the indirect assessment does not
look at learners' actual work but instead uses information gathered from other
sources.
Ex: Survey
Sample Learning Objective: Learners will be able to confidently address client
complaints.
6. Project-Based (Assessment Method) - ANSWER The approach used in
design education to assess students' performance.
Project-based assessment is a concrete way to assess the learner other than a
test. Creative outlets also open the door to all learning types in this method. An
example would be to ask students to create a website.
Learners benefit from project-based assessments because these often give
students the ability to choose topics, problems, and the direction of the work,
making it more meaningful.
Ex: Building a stick bridge
Sample Learning Objective: Learners will be able to apply engineering principles.
7. Reflection-Focused (Assessment Method) - ANSWER Provides time for
students to absorb what they learned and to engage with thinking about how they
have learned.
