Discussion issues on assessment.

•The word ‘assess’ comes from the Latin verb ‘assidere’ meaning ‘to sit with’.

•In assessment one is supposed to sit with the learner. This implies it is something we do ‘with’ and ‘for’ students and not ‘to’ students (Green, 1999).

•Assessment in education is the process of gathering, interpreting, recording, and using information about pupils’ responses to an educational task. (Harlen, Gipps, Broadfoot, Nuttal,1992)

Assessment of learning Generally taken by students at the end of a

unit or semester to demonstrate the "sum" of what they have or have not learned.

Summative assessment methods are the most traditional way of evaluating student work.

"Good summative assessments--tests and other graded evaluations--must be demonstrably reliable, valid, and free of bias" (Angelo and Cross, 1993).

To measure student achievement at a point in time for reporting and accountability.

To sort students in rank order. To maximize student learning through

standardized test, etc.

Summative

•Inquiry projects.•Presentations.•Grade conferences.•Portfolio reviews.•Test and quizzes.

Solve real-life and mathematical problems using

numerical and algebraic expressions and equations.

Students take a quiz that given by teacher based on

the topics are taught individually.

Assessment is the process of gathering and discussing information from multiple and diverse sources in order to develop a deep understanding of what students know, understand, and can do with their knowledge as a result of their educational experiences; the process culminates when assessment results are used to improve subsequent learning.  (Learner-Centered Assessment on College Campuses: shifting the focus from teaching to learning by Huba and Freed 2000)
