Kinds of Assessment (Education) BSNED

Before creating the instruction, it’s necessary to know for what kind of students you’re creating the instruction. Your goal is to get to know your student’s strengths, weaknesses and the skills and knowledge the posses before taking the instruction. Based on the data you’ve collected, you can create your instruction. what type of assessment is being described?

• Formative assessment

• Pre-assessment or diagnostic assessment

• Summative assessment

• Confirmative assessment

It is an assessment that is used in the first attempt of developing instruction. The goal is to monitor student learning to provide feedback. It helps identifying the first gaps in your instruction. Based on this feedback you’ll know what to focus on for further expansion for your instruction.

• Formative assessment

• Pre-assessment or diagnostic assessment

• Summative assessment

• Norm Reference

It is type of assessment that its aimed at assessing the extent to which the most important outcomes at the end of the instruction have been reached. But it measures more: the effectiveness of learning, reactions on the instruction and the benefits on a long-term base. The long-term benefits can be determined by following students who attend your course, or test. You are able to see whether and how they use the learned knowledge, skills and attitudes.

• Confirmative assessment

• Norm-referenced assessment

• Summative assessment

• Criterion-referenced assessment

When your instruction has been implemented in your classroom, it’s still necessary to take assessment. Your goal with confirmative assessments is to find out if the instruction is still a success after a year, for example, and if the way you're teaching is still on point. You could say that a confirmative assessment is an extensive form of a summative assessment. What type of assessment?

• Summative assessment

It checks what students are expected to know and be able to do at a specific stage of their education. Criterion-referenced tests are used to evaluate a specific body of knowledge or skill set, it’s  a test to evaluate the curriculum taught in a course.

• Criterion-referenced assessment

• Norm-referenced assessment

• Ipsative assessment

• Formative test

Kind of assessment that measures the performance of a student against previous performances from that student. With this method you’re trying to improve yourself by comparing previous results. You’re not comparing yourself against other students, which may be not so good for your self-confidence.
