Debates in assessment?
• Assessment vs Testing?– Purpose– Informs action– Tests hypotheses– Rigour
![Page 21: Educational Psychology C83EDP 2nd semester 2008. 2 Purpose To introduce students to the professional practice of Educational Psychology by considering](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5515d069550346dd6f8b45dc/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Over-riding principles
• Applied science
![Page 22: Educational Psychology C83EDP 2nd semester 2008. 2 Purpose To introduce students to the professional practice of Educational Psychology by considering](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5515d069550346dd6f8b45dc/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Debates in assessment?
• Normative vs Ipsative?– Normative assessment:
• Compares a sample of behaviour with the same behaviour in a sample of the population.
• Generalises from that sample• Requires validity• Requires reliability• Issues about relevance & equity
![Page 23: Educational Psychology C83EDP 2nd semester 2008. 2 Purpose To introduce students to the professional practice of Educational Psychology by considering](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5515d069550346dd6f8b45dc/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Debates in assessment?
• Normative vs Ipsative?– Normative assessment:
• In the UK, typically involves:– Wechsler Scales: WISC IV, WPPSI III– British Ability Scales (BAS)– A range of attainment tests
• Produces norm-referenced scores, typically IQ (or ‘Standard’) scores or percentile rankings
![Page 24: Educational Psychology C83EDP 2nd semester 2008. 2 Purpose To introduce students to the professional practice of Educational Psychology by considering](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5515d069550346dd6f8b45dc/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Debates in assessment?
• Normative vs Ipsative?– Ipsative assessment:
• Compares a child with themselves• Can include normative assumptions• Can allow a focus on the learning /
behaviour issues themselves.
![Page 25: Educational Psychology C83EDP 2nd semester 2008. 2 Purpose To introduce students to the professional practice of Educational Psychology by considering](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5515d069550346dd6f8b45dc/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Debates in assessment?
• Static vs ‘dynamic’?– Static assessment:
• Looks at what a child has achieved;• Analyses strengths and difficulties;• Deals in snap-shots of behaviour/learning• Emphasises reliability and validity
![Page 26: Educational Psychology C83EDP 2nd semester 2008. 2 Purpose To introduce students to the professional practice of Educational Psychology by considering](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5515d069550346dd6f8b45dc/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Debates in assessment?
• Static vs ‘dynamic’?– dynamic assessment:
• Based on Vygotsky’s work, developed by Feuerstein;
• Looks at a child’s response to teaching• Focuses on modifiability and adaptability
- therefore looks at change
![Page 27: Educational Psychology C83EDP 2nd semester 2008. 2 Purpose To introduce students to the professional practice of Educational Psychology by considering](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5515d069550346dd6f8b45dc/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Alternative methods
• Curriculum-based assessment – Ipsative by nature– Based on (social) learning theories– Looks at the child in context– Attempts to lead directly to action– Requires careful monitoring,
evaluation and review
![Page 28: Educational Psychology C83EDP 2nd semester 2008. 2 Purpose To introduce students to the professional practice of Educational Psychology by considering](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5515d069550346dd6f8b45dc/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Challenges to practice
• Keep the psychology • To maintain relevance to teachers• To understand the difficulties in terms
of the interaction between the child and their environment.
• To maintain an objective stance• To collect data rigorously and to
transform that understanding of the child’s circumstances
