Evidence of Understanding: Learning and understanding are two different things but they are intertwined.
Students who are learning, are developing knowledge and skills they didn’t have before. Being a good learner requires applying these in a limited and focused manner (context). However, it is how students come to think about, and make sense of, their learning that leads to understanding. Assessment of learning relies on students demonstrating what they were taught, in the same context that they were taught. Once students can recall what they have learned, they are ready to apply what has been learned.
Understanding involves applying learning (knowledge and skills) to a new situation. Assessing the level of student understanding requires students to take what they know and use it (creatively, flexibly, fluently) in different settings or problems, on their own, including explaining how to solve a problem, developing an argument, constructing a product, etc.
Triangulation
Triangulation
Whether assessment is formative or summative, teachers use evidence to prove students’ level of understanding. Teachers collect evidence about student learning from multiple sources: conversations, observations, and products. In triangulating the evidence from these sources, teachers develop an accurate record of student progress. By collecting assessment evidence from multiple activities it reduces the risk of reading too much, or too little into any single piece of data.
