Summary
According to research, there are three fundamental components for assessment: 1. A model of student’s cognition 2. Learning in the domain 3. A rubric that provides evidence of students’ skills and a good interpretation that makes sense of the evidence. Student’s learning has to be consistent based on research on students acquiring knowledge and mastering the skill. Observations identify skills in students' learning. The interpretation method should provide a serious sense in which you can use statistics models to intuitive and quantitative judgements.However, after ten years research notes again that most assessments lack an explicit model of cognition or how students represent knowledge and develop skills in the subject domain. Moreover, a model of cognition, assessment designers make teachers not knowledgeable of how students really learn evenmore. Evenmore, with no clear guidance on how to create meaningful assessments. However, we are moving closer to effective assessment and can align with the increase of evidence on how students really learn.
How is it relevant to students?
1. Students need to know the skills they are learning in the desired subject.
2. Students need to reflect on their skill and how to improve.
3. Students need to know the rubrics/standard they are being assessed on.
For TEACHERS ONLY:
Meaningful assessment is very important.
The need of having a set standard or skill is fundamental.
Rubrics are a MUST for assessing students in the mastery skill.
