• Debrief: Three volunteers.
What should you assess?
Thumbs-Up Thumbs-Down
• Should assessment be informed by objectives & standards?
• Should assessment be performance-based? • Should assessment be knowledge-based?• Should assessment be behavior-based ?• Should students have input on what is assessed?
Should assessment be informed by objectives & standards?
YES! Assessment should NOT be hit or miss! Use objectives and standards to... • set the foundation & level of expectation students must meet; chart
a course toward student mastery.• provide a point of reference for consistency, quality and
accountability.• allow for less subjectivity when grading.• provide the desired effect you are looking for. • help insure the study of visual art is disciplined and well focused.
3 Domains of Educational Activity
Consider Bloom’s 3 domains when making decisions about what to assess:
PSYCHOMOTOR: Manual or Physical Skills (Skills)
COGNITIVE: Mental Skills (Knowledge)
AFFECTIVE: Growth in Feeling or Emotional Areas (Attitude)
Performance-Based(Psychomotor Domain)
• Perception (coordination & awareness through the senses)• Set (knows, understands & can perform sequences & processes)• Guided Response (imitates through trial & error or practice)• Mechanism (basic control)• Complex Overt Response (accurate control)• Adaptation (alters to fit the situation)• Origination (creates something new)
Knowledge-Based (Cognitive Domain)
• Remembering (memorization)• Understanding (state in own words)• Applying (using in new situations)• Analyzing (compares and contrasts parts)• Evaluating (informed judgments)• Creating (making new meaning from prior concepts)
Bloom's Revised Taxonomy
• Receiving phenomena (attentive)• Responding to phenomena (active participation)• Valuing (commitment to the process or object)• Organization (prioritizes time effectively & accepts responsibility)• Internalizing value (self-reliant, cooperative, independent
worker)
Behavior-Based (Affective Domain)
Should students provide input?
• Students are provided a voice in the discourse of the classroom.
• Students are engaged and invested in the language and activities of the curriculum.
• Students are allowed to become accountable for their learning.

assessment that you can use in the art room?
